Still want an EV? (NO POLITICS)

"932-mile range and less than 10-minute charging times" This is a sweet spot more folks will find desirable.
I just priced out SS drives for our servers and I found them not to be cost effective so cost may take a good while to be competitive.

EVs wont save the world in a capitalist / consumption environment... even thinking that is clown level analytics... consumption in general would need to slow down drastically to make a difference.

Residents killed from burning and exploding bike batteries, I mentioned the dangers of re-charging in a garage or shop that's connected to living quarters in a previous post.

I think that's the point. "You will own nothing and be happy."

Humans thinking humans can affect the climate either by uncontrolled carbon-spewing consumption (bad) or by policide/enviro genocide as a gain of function for consumption reduction (good) is the actual clown level analytics...

Queue SKYNET!


Lol.

It’s the end goal, for sure. These early stages are just getting people used to the idea. Reduced consumption is the only way to make any real impact.

Sense may prevail eventually

Spain goes further...

In Spain, another right-wing coalition has come under fire for its plans to immediately scrap cycle lanes and low emission zones

In Gijón, a coastal city in north-western Spain, new mayor Carmen Moriyón announced that one of her first acts will be for cars to once again travel through the city “without any type of environmental label”, while restructuring the city’s road policies by dismantling the cycle network.

“From now on, vehicles will have absolute freedom of movement and parking on the streets and roads of Gijón,” Mariyón said.

In London the huge space consuming 'boris bike system' should be scrapped completely and private bike hire firms given a chance to start up for tourists and visitors.

The liability issue is what killed it. No way to blend Level 5 autonomy with Level 0 (humans ). I'll still take humans. Computers fail too much in my book.

There was a thread going on this forum a few years back about autonomous cars not unlike the differences in opinions on this particular thread. Liability was one of the points I was pointing out, challenges with staying in lanes when there's snow etc.

Yeah, besides EV, Autonomy is my second best internet car forum subject.

Having previously worked well over a decade directly with the FAA (read DOT) on implementation of new aircraft surveillance technology, I have a good understanding how the DOT thinks. In those Autonomous Driving threads I routinely posted about once the DOT gets involved and sets safety standards for autonomous driving the development will drop off.

The surface vehicle driving environment is 5x more difficult to automate than the national airspace system. The NAS is incredibly safe to fly in because of the trip planning, traffic surveillance, 3-axis of space, and the multitude of redundant systems in use. And there is no such thing as "AutoPilot" (in the way most of the public thinks it works).

Liability is a bitch.

EVs now moved up to 2nd place overall at Pike's Peak

Refinements have also been made to the powertrain. By reducing the number of STARD UHP 6-phase motors from four to three, and utilizing STARD’s Ultra High Performance Li-Polymer NMC pouch cells, the van achieves an optimal power-to-weight ratio while retaining its all-wheel-drive system with one motor powering the front and two in the rear. With over 1,050 kW (1,400 horsepower) combined discharge power at its disposal, the SuperVan 4.2 can unleash its full potential while also leveraging the battery's new 600 kW regeneration performance for optimal energy utilization.

And tesla keeps running at the top of the list for best selling ev.

Jesus Christ we’re only in 2023. 2028 looks promising!!!!
