Bosch sells its 2A charger (~80w) for $93, and it's still 3x6x8 inches and weighs a pound. If I could use my MacBook Pro 96w brick, I wouldn't have to haul the Bosch charger to work.

I also have a Serial1, and there were no available chargers for a few years.

There is also fire risk when bodegas try to charge many bikes. If the bikes had the BMS and DC-DC on-board, and just used USB-C to get the electrons, we may see fewer fires.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
