Users decide if they want an iPhone with Siri AI or some other solution (Android)?
This is Europe, where apparently the citizens want protected, apparently from anything.
We might be sing the start of Manufacturers telling the EU to go pound sand when they want total control over what their citizens see, and the manufactures just say "you aren't worth it."
Waiting for the troll mods.
Range anxiety is a real thing, and people massively over-estimate distances. By a factor of 2-2.5, in my experience.
When I've done extended trips away from home, I haven't had any issues. Just charge when I happen to be somewhere that has a charger.
Oh yes, it is real. My Mother in law got very nervous when her gas gauge hit 3/4.
But it is nothing new.
This makes them harder on tires (and creates more tire pollution) than ICE vehicles and forces installation of stronger/heavier suspension to be able to handle the additional battery weight (extra weight sucks in general). So, having batteries that charge faster, more safely, with less weight would be a huge boon. Tire pollution, Is that like Windmill cancer? Funny, here in Pennsylvania, we have many EV's Many Prius', and you'er telling me they are as good as doomed.
Right - sine weight is your metric, I can show you some diesel pickups that with a lot more Weight like the Ford F-450 Super Duty (diesel) — curb weight up to ~8,500–9,000+ lb depending on configuration. Is that killing people with its deadly tire pollution? I mean, weight and tire rubber are your pass fail metrics, so let us know?
now tell us how the Tesla Model 3: 3,500–4,100 lb is the real problem. Half the weight, but the real problem.
... for you.
But we really love your unhinged replies - thank you for the lulz
This is what you mean. You say "only charged two times" like it is inconsequential. Maybe it is for you but that is murder for anyone on a schedule who is trying to see as much of Canada as possible in five days and no more.
Ah, so the tourism industry recommend only petrofueld vehicles. Thank you for the entertainment.
What I want is for them to get a solid sleep the night before and not take drugs that make them drowsy. If they did that then the frequency of breaks don't matter.
ICE vehicles are at the forefront of the anti-drug movement. You are the gift that keeps gifting.
Lol, the place you charge doesn't even have a washroom?
Perhaps the purpose of your life is to serve as random laughs for us.
And here the story has changed. Before, it was BEV if only the local electricians didn't suck. Now it's because all my driving is highway driving where DC charging is needed every day. Whatever argument suits the outcome.
Don't forget, the claim of no charging stations. Or buying an EV on urination vs charging time.
Oh well, he is a bit entertaining. I had a girlfriend like this once, kept making up more and more outlandish "reasons" for her being right during a discussion. Some people have such a strong "need to be right" that they transform from rational beings to amusing irrational ones.
Ok well in the places I drive in Canada there are mostly one pump towns. I don't see any charging stations anywhere.
Then why are you spreading hate and derision? There are apparently 0 charging stations where you live, so there should be no EV's.
You could simply not there are none in Canada, and be done with it. Then again....https://chargehub.com/en/countries/canada.html
I find it interesting that GPS, Galileo and BeiDou share 2/3 of their base frequencies, but GLONASS doesn't - its overlap is additional frequencies. I'm not a comms guy, but I do wonder if that means Russia can interfere with GPS, Galileo and BeiDou simultaneously without affecting their own gear significantly.
Most "GPS" receiver modules these days support GPS and GLONASS. GLONASS support has been available for well over a decade on most modules used on phones these days. You can buy a very modern GNSS receiver module that support GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and a couple of others for a "6 system" receiver on AliExpress for a few bucks.
Multi-system GNSS receivers are common, easily available and can be dropped in and used. Nowadays they're just a single chip solution where you feed in RF and it comes out as standard NMEA strings.
or who live in some third world shithole without any functional electricity infrastructure, who think otherwise.
Dude, he lives in Canada, which isn't...oh, erm...nevermind.
And didn't someone call him MAGA? Didn't know they had a Canadian Chapter.
Journeys in my EV are stress free and easy. It's only people who don't own one, or who live in some third world shithole without any functional electricity infrastructure, who think otherwise.
Anyway, even if these guy's lies were true, they aren't even that impressive. BYD has been shipping cars with a 5 minute recharge time for a while, and the MW class chargers to go with them.
The main difference is an apparent range anxiety that resists cure. And perhaps inability to adapt to a different fueling (charging) paradigm.
In an ICE vehicle, You drive some distance until the tank is near empty, then find a gas station and fill up. Some only fuel up when the light comes on.
Proper use of an EV involves regular topping. We even have chargers in our state parks that have electricity. And you don't use them from depleted to full charge - you could, but that would be bad planning - you top off the battery, and move on. And with no gas station to be found, even if you arrived in an ICE empty, you are SOL, no gas stations in State Parks.
The charging paradigm is similar to proper charging of a smartphone.
But yet again. You can't say that 120V is fine for everyone, only that it is fine for you.
And the colors of EVs? That's another reason you can use to not buy them.
At least your life has purpose, denigrating EV's You are doing God's work. At least the God of the Amish.
Contractors tend to be a lot cheaper and easier to get in big cities. In small to medium cities there is a shortage. You wait for a month and even then they may not show up. They know they have you over a barrel so they overcharge.
Another reason to not buy an EV posted by the man who says he doesn't hate them.
To get back on your feet, miss two car payments.
