Let me introduce you to the world of _devices for keeping small kids asleep_. For whatever reason they won’t work when hooked up to a charger and of course the moment you need them most the batteries have gone dead so you must charge… At th

I think this should be true for many things, or at least have a fixed future date at which you re-evaluate $thing For example with Architecture Decision Records, put a 6 or 12 month expiry on them and evaluate to see if they can be renewed,

Jedlix had been acquired by Octopus in fact and specifically for the virtual power plant tech + EV integration. What’s more challenging is that when it comes to EV charging in cities not a lot of people actually have their own charging stat
