Sticking with the subject matter of this EV thread, the California rule banning ICE by 2035 and the EV investments buried in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Also, see my post #6227.

EV efficiency with no winter range degradation (free heat from the engine) and still have <5 minute refills (the gas tank will be smaller).

Started watching some old Harry’s content and ran across this:
A lot of very interesting concepts on how mercedes sees the future of EVs. The fact it has demonstrated a 1k km (620 mi) range is game changing; and even claiming up to 890 mi for highway driving alone. Also cool that ‘bionics’ are filtering down as a proven concept. The inevitable battery waste problems still worry me, though.

The federal government has regulated that by 2035, all new vehicles sold in Canada must be electric. However they can't even get their shit together. I am running out of words to say

This is a sad story from an EV user.
Maryann Abela, she and her family were travelling in their new Nissan Leaf from London to Lion's Head, Ont., a 253-kilometre distance that should have taken them a little over three hours to drive. The Leaf's range is 342 km, but given the car wasn't fully charged, they were prepared to stop to charge along the way. Abela planned ahead, googling the locations of fast chargers along the route, never anticipating that none of them would be operational. "We had no idea [charging] would be that hit-or-miss," said Abela. After striking out at four rapid-charging locations, she found herself stranded in a seedy motel with her young daughter while her husband slept in their Leaf as it slow-charged in an empty parking lot overnight. |

I feel like I am so luck not to have to deal with all the pressure of charging. For me, 5 minutes into the gas station and I am good for another 500km. Gas stations are everywhere and their pumping stations are up 99.99%

Audi e-Tron GT's are in trouble and recalls issued for battery sealing fault which may ignite the cars or even make them crash.

And how many amps go through the charger cable? And the current battery/charger technology hasn't yet been paid off. Just looking at it with some realism. |
