About 90% of them would have almost no issue switching to an EV today. All it would take is installing a car charger at home, and I suspect even then, most of them could do 110V charging.
90% of the folks who will do Level 2 charging, at home, with 220V outlet will not need a "charger".
Most EVs come with an EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment), which you can plug into a NEMA 14-50 outlet and get decent charging speed. You need a "charger" installed at home, if you want fancy features, like Time-Of-Use charging (especially if your car doesn't provide scheduled charging features), WiFi control of charging, fancy usage graphs, etc. In some cases, a hard-wired charger installation will also give you extra amperage, beyond the capabilities of the car supplied EVSE.

Instead of keeping their engineers focused on optimizing the code base around features related to stability and safety, at least, some partial effort will now be wasted on gaming.
It is one thing to have infotainment, but why waste human power and computing power on frivolous features.

Not quite as convenient as just sorting by size, but to find all files larger than 10MB, search for:

Adjust as appropriate.

Design Commentary on Google's New To-Do Tasks App (pxlnv.com) 85
On the sidelines of Gmail's big refresh push, Google also released a new app called Google Tasks. It's a simple app that aims to help users manage their work and home tasks. But it's being talked about for one more reason. From a blog post: Unlike most of their other apps, though, Tasks uses an inconsistent mix of Roboto, their old brand typeface, and Product Sans, their new one. The two faces don't look good together -- it's like when Apple shipped apps that used both Helvetica and Lucida Grande. According to their announcement of Product Sans and their new logo, the typeface was supposed to be used in promotional materials and lockups, but there's no mention of it being used for product UIs. In fact, the only other product I can find that has this same inconsistent mix is the new Gmail.com, also previewed today.
It isn't just about what these typefaces look like, either, but how they're used. For example, when entering a new task, the name of the task is set in Product Sans; when it is added to the list, it becomes Roboto. Tapping on the task takes you to a details view where, now, the name of the task is in Product Sans. There are three options to add more information: if you want to add details, you'll do it in Roboto, but adding a due date will be in Product Sans. The "add subtasks" button -- well, text in the same grey as everything else except other buttons that are blue -- is set in Product Sans, but the tasks are set in Roboto.

You may want to look up the meaning of the word "generally".
Or you could try scrolling further down on the page you linked, to where it says:
"Citizens of Canada and Bermuda do not require visas to enter the United States, for visit, tourism and temporary business travel purposes"
You may think and it feels like you don't require a visa, but trust me as a Canadian who travels somewhat frequently to the US, you *do* get a rubber-stamp temporary visa.
You might think you didn't get it or need it.

And this $100 phone is available in the stores with manufacturer's warranty in case of defects?
I have a $170 phone from Xiaomi, but I cannot pretend that it did not take a few weeks to arrive via non-air mail and I'm skeptical about having to send back to the manufacturer in case of defects.
Is it good value for money? Yes.

The only thing it is lacking is an SD card. My phone will do 2 terabytes but my tablet is stuck at 32gb.
I use my 2013 Nexus 7 daily and use the OTG cable on a weekly basis (for backups and transferring large amount of data from USB flash drives).
Also recently, I bought a 32G USB3/OTG combo drive when it was on sale.
