That truckstop coffee gave me sweats and trembles and palpitations, so I hated coffee even more, until a few years into my IT career, when I&#39;d learned to sorta like the free stuff available at various jobs.<br/><br/>On my first contract in a big bank, in the heart of Sydney CBD, someone said they were going out, and did anyone want a coffee? I was ready to say &#34;Yes&#34;, when the guy in the cubicle behind me trotted out that order, and triggered the most overwhelming imposter syndrome in me! Sheesh, I didn&#39;t even understand coffee 😥<br/><br/>Next time, I wrote his order down, visited cafes until I found pictures of the various components, and 40 years later, I can still trot that out.

Another reason for increased tyre wear and tear in EVs is their high instant torque at low speeds, which helps EVs accelerate faster than conventional cars.
