I'm pretty sure that a lot of cars can already do this. Alternatively, you could also just slow charge your car on a regular 120 volt outlet. This will ensure that the power draw isn't too high at any one time. A level 1 charger can get you about 8 km of charge capacity per hour. So for most people, charging on a basic outlet is enough to charge a car for their daily needs overnight. Most people aren't driving hundreds of kilometers every day.

An easy way to get rid of that is to have the images served off Facebooks/Googles servers rather than let the advertiser host it themselves.

What they are doing is the equivalent of selling someone a TV ad spot, but having no control what content is actually shown during the time slot. Have the validated ad shown from the Facebook servers and there's no ability for it to be changed later.

Spoiler, these companies aren't doing anything to stop scam ads

I'm pretty much of the opinion that you basically have to take immersion if you want a good grasp of a second language. Up here in Canada everyone takes French from kindergarten through grade 9, but a vast majority of English speakers don't have a good enough grasp of French to carry on a conversation. It's really only the students who opt to take French immersion that have a food grasp of the language.
