Yes, because you have a thing means the whole rest of the world does as well. No wonder Europe kicked you guys out :cwl: America will remember these remarks when energy starved Germany comes knocking at your door asking to borrow a few GW. Also, did you miss the part when he asked if I had an...

Always have to consider the source...on a related note, the state of peer review in the sciences is broken to a disgusting degree.

Now, you know I can't help myself :crackup: 1. I wonder if my gas tank will be down to 11.2 gallons after 8 years...better check my warranty. 2. Problem is that if we regulate and push EV's too soon, there won't be enough built to meet demand. It's not as if every EV sold results in a...

That sounds like a conspiracy theory, not one based on facts or science. I don't read opinion pieces. I read about tech and science and engineering. I read the kind of articles that have SEM photos of battery internals, and link to relevant scientific publications (which I also read if not...

Did you just "bro, do you even lift" me? I don't have to eat a turd sandwich to know it tastes like shit. You go out of your way to tell us all how great the EV is, and how easy it is to live with, and how the facts about batteries simply aren't true. It's all unicorn farts and charging at...

We get it, you love your Telsa. You simply refuse to see the shortcomings. You can make excuses, contrive scenarios to illustrate your point, and outright ignore the reality of the situation all you want. It doesn't change that EV's do not yet equal ICE's. The battery tech isn't there yet...

And the added joys of rolling blackouts every night :like: We're unfortunately reaching the limits of the chemistry though. We need the "next big thing" to be here now, not be 5-10 years away forever.

Shit man, I've got an in-line generator even if the power does go out.

It's not about how often, it's about having the option. Or the ability to do any long road trip. Or deal with any of life's many unexpected situations.

Nah, that shell looks like it's got pretty good aero. If you can cannonball in a van, you can cannonball in a BEV pulling a mini-trailer.

They already can... https://www.carswithcords.net/2016/06/where-are-range-extending-trailers.html ...just not on batteries.

I'm astounded at the number of incandescent bulbs I had to replace when we moved in. Not even CFL's, good old filament burners.

Current battery tech degrades a little with each charge cycle (especially fast charging). Banning even 2nd hand sales of ICE vehicles means that aging BEV's will be foisted on people who can ill afford to replace the battery packs WHEN they fail/stop holding a meaningful charge. What's not to...

Problem with that is the same as with all EV's. The batteries!

How car do you need to register it? I wonder if you can title a bunch of rolling chassis, then sell them to people post-ban.

Unfortunately they'll just flip the narrative by pushing public transit.

I mean, in the States we spend tax dollars destroying gray market cars that aren't "emissions legal". https://jalopnik.com/watch-the-feds-crush-an-imported-nissan-skyline-1753280296

:puke: :puke: :puke:

Mazda is supposedly doing that with the next RX model. A little gas motor weighs a hell of a lot less than 100kw of batteries, but can deliver the same range.

"range of about 150 miles, depending on configuration and operation. They will charge up to 80% within 70 minute" Yikes those specs though...
