It depends on where you live, but in most places, even the most expensive rapid charger is still cheaper than fuel. That’s not even including the lower maintenance costs of EVs.
You do miss out on the convenience of home charging, and that is a pretty big deal for most people. The best part about an EV is waking up to a full charge every day and never having to stop to fill up.
If you have enough money for the upfront cost, electric cars are cheaper over their lifetime.
Not starting a war is both cheaper upfront and ongoing.
My local grid frequently hits 100% renewable power, and has even exceeded 100% of demand from only rooftop solar with commercial solar and wind also producing at that time.
The grid needed a few modifications, and there was some brief instability, but everyone survived it and the grid has been stable for over a year.
I think we’ll be fine.
Gambling destroys lives. Making gambling illegal may be controversial, but I can’t see any reason to allow gambling ads.
If you want to gamble, then it’s your own life to ruin. If you advertise gambling, then you are ruining other people’s lives.
Ban gambling ads.
Oil refineries use so much energy that they quite often have a dedicated power plant. The energy required to refine enough fuel to drive 100km could instead be used to drive an EV more than 50km.
Switching to EVs will have much less of an impact on the grid than it initially appears. With overnight or midday charging, EVs can even help spread the load throughout the day and help reduce the evening peak.
V2G/V2H can reduce this peak even further, while only using a tiny amount from each car battery.
Air-conditioning is also a big concern for the energy grid, but as with all new technologies, the grid will be upgraded to handle it. Unless you are employed by a grid operator to plan for the future, you don’t need to worry about it.
Yes, the higher range ones are quite expensive. Hopefully the second hand market will have a few reasonably priced in a few years.
Just not feeling mentally 100%, decided to go for a walk around some quiet streets. I found a spot in sunlight and decided to pause for a moment to enjoy it.
A driver stopped to check on me and ask if I was OK. It made me realise that most people really do care.
Ich bin ein deutsch, offensichtlich.
Not too many people will tell you about the time they got coronavirus and died.
Physics Girl has another story though.
I’m in Australia. I don’t get below 200 ping. 150 would be nice.
Yeah, tell that wall to get out of your way.

It feels pretty easy when all you have to do is observe and give occasional instructions.
Most people are pretty bad at guessing the amount of effort someone else needs to complete a task.
Most people also have enough empathy to ask how much effort it was instead of telling you what they experienced and assuming it was the same for you.
Unfortunately, some people will still think a headache is painless because they are not the one experiencing it.
His mom must be very unobservant for the amount of time it would take to push all the buttons.
Why a sphere? Why not a torus?
They’ve got 2 extra small ones at the back.
