And if you bought this e-scooter from a local reputable store, then they should be responsible for importing cheap dangerous stuff.
And if you bought this e-scooter from a local reputable store, then they should be responsible for importing cheap dangerous stuff.
Then shift the blame on those who bought this cheap and dangerous stuff.
For example if we can prove that it's your shitty e-scooter that caught fire in the subway, we'll send you the bill for reconstructing the subway station that burned down.
Except in winter when the temperature is the lowest at night, and heating is challenging for the grid.
Where I live the majority of homes are heated by electricity, and when it's very cold it takes tens of kilowatts per house just for heating.
If I pay for having food delivered to my door, it's because the weather is extremely crappy, I'm sick, or another similar reason.
So I don't want to go outside, I fully expect the food to be delivered in my hands while I open the door.
I don't think those robots can go up a flight of stairs?
Interesting and relevant video about motorcycle airbags
If only you had a brain, you could figure out the best time to charge.
Now I know why I don't comment a lot on Slashdot anymore...
It's because of such constructive comments like these.
Thank you for your insight!
Since most EVs are charged at night when the load on the electric grid is low
That depends on where you live and the season.
Where I live, in winter, since the temperature tends to drop at night, the load on the grid is actually greater.
I've read that the house, still under construction, was for sale at 20M$ (Canadian).
It was almost repossessed by the bank because there was 26K$ due to some of the construction company.
This was paid off, and the house was then put on sale.
I find it offensive that there are only motherboards...
We should have an equal number of fatherboards!
Why not use a lithium battery?
Last year I changed the lead acid battery for a lithium one in my motorcycle.
About half the size and a third of the weight.
A lithium battery can keep it's charge for much longer than a lead acid battery.
The EV cars are already so expensive, what's 200$ more for a modern 12v battery?
Of course, but refueling that ICE truck to regain the range only takes 5 minutes.
So even if you only have half the range when towing, the impact on the trip time is minimal.
Will there be charging stations with enough space to pull up with a big electric pickup and a fifth wheel, or will you have to detach the trailer every time?
From what I've seen of Tesla super charging stations, a cybertruck won't be able to charge while it has a trailer hitches.
Put a fifth wheel on that electric Silverado, and suddenly your 400 miles range will probably drop down to a 100 miles...
Exactly, and since I think the gig economy is a bad idea, I vote with my dollars. I've never used Uber, and never ordered anything from a restaurant using Skip, Doordash or any other of these services.
I only use EBCDIC you insensitive clod
