To recharge my EV on the go, unfortunately, I need a macrospy device, aka smartphone [1] but I normally do not use it as a phone, and I answer calls from it only on the go, my phone numbers for 99% of my contacts are on my home pbx and calls get redirected only when I'm on the go. Only very few in my family know my "mobile" phone number. For me it's essentially:

- a GPS device for car navigation

- a portable hotspot when needed

- rarely a quick browser looking for basic information (like a phone number of a shop)

- rarely a MUA if I need to see, not compose, my mails on the go.

That's is. I've tried a KaiOS phone but it's just a bad hybrid, so I quit it.

[1] macrospy as opposed to classic micro-spy (bugs) that was bought and deployed with significant costs, potentially aleatory reliability and potentially short lifespan by those who want to spy a target. These days PR are able to do the inverse: an expensive and very visible device, bought and kept up by the spied target to enjoy being profiled...
