So if I take my car to the airport and leave it there while I'm no vacation for a week, do you think they'll mind if I leave it attached to a charger? Or at the Park N' Fly where it just sits out in the open the whole time and goes into a deep cold soak.

I am on the side that these rules will never happen here in Canada or the US at the timelines they set forth today, we move way too slowly for this lofty goal to be even within reach, none of the current crop of politicians anywhere near the seat of power in the next 10 years is going to touch that hot potato with a 10 foot pole once they are in power. At Toronto's Pearson, if you'd like your car charged while you are away, you are paying for the valet service. Park a week at Pearson, it'd cost you double to their standard covered long term parking. Frankly, I'd rather uber to the airport than to pay for valet if that's my only option with an EV, but that's just me, not everyone will have that option here in Ontario

Research from Auto Trader said there were “unsustainable levels of depreciation” in the electric car market, with used prices of battery-powered vehicles dropping by 23pc in the last year alone.
The online vehicle marketplace said a motorist buying a £50,000 electric car could expect to lose £24,000 in value over three years, while a similarly priced petrol car could lose £17,000. The value of used electric cars has dropped dramatically in the last 12 months after Covid-related supply shortages eased and as rising electricity prices hit demand. This coincided with petrol prices falling to a two-year low. Auto Trader’s latest report warned that “residual values of electric cars remain unsustainably low”. |

Grid Modernization & EVs: Role of Technology in Grid Stability
January 15th, 2024 Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is the focal point in integrating EVs into the power grid, significantly managing grid stability. This innovative digital technology enables EVs to supply power back to the grid during peak demands, enhancing grid management. With the convergence of energy and mobility sectors, V2G is set to become a commercially viable solution. This includes bi-directional charging, making EV charging smarter and more efficient. As EV adoption grows, V2G becomes a key digital technology in ensuring grid modernization and efficient energy management. https://www.certrec.com/blog/grid-mo...rid-stability/ Huh would look like the grid has control over your EV when it's connected. I'll bet it can even not allow charging when the grid is under stress from something like say a severe cold snap? Where have I heard that before? I'm sure this will be yet another thing EV'ers don't know or don't want to know. The sheep don't know, the Wolves don't want to know. |

You don't understand the definition of "never."
__________________
A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

"This can lead to your EV’s range decreasing when temperatures dip below freezing. According to Canadian telematics analysis firm Geotab, at 5F (-15C), EVs drop to 54% of their rated range, meaning a car that is rated for 250 miles (402 km) will only get on average 135 miles (217 km)." |

I posted this before, but then deleted it as I had already posted it in the OT LOL thread, but damn the rules, I'm posting it again, even if it is a cross-post. It is so pertinent to this thread...

With an EV the same situation would be far more concerning. |

1. Plugging the vehicle in and running the heating system for 20 to 30 minutes before taking it for a drive 2. Charge more frequently during colder weather. Good luck to find a empty working charging station. 3. Drivers should turn down the cabin heater and use seat warmers and a heated steering wheel to stay warm |
