The service provides a 15-to-30-minute charge, offering roughly 20 miles of range to reach a permanent station. The hosts question the efficiency of this system compared to a simple gallon of gasoline, noting the significant time investment required for EV recovery.

AAA warned that the higher ethanol content could cause damage to older vehicle engines due to its corrosive properties. Dvorak explains that while some cars are designed for E85, most standard engines are only rated for a 10% ethanol mix.

He subsequently received a technical survey from the Associated Press asking him to rate the health of the Gulf of Mexico on a numerical scale. The hosts argue this proves that "scientific consensus" figures are often based on surveys of unqualified individuals.
