No, I'm hating the idea, which is stupid no matter which word you use for it.

You should embrace your own agency instead of needing to imagine a magical sky daddy coding assistant.

I've never been to a US gas station (I assume it's use from the use of gallons) but in the UK you drive up, often have to queue, and then park by the pump. If they have pay at the pump you put your card in, enter the PIN, takes about a minute for some reason. Open your flap and remove the cap, pick up the nozzle and fill up for a few minutes, then reverse it all and drive off. Add another minute or two if you have to pay at the kiosk.

The petrol stations are sometimes at supermarkets so you don't have to go too far out of your way, but not always.

Plugging in at home is much nicer, especially if you have a garage. For public charging, Nio is the ultimate with battery swap. You don't even have to get out of the car.

Combined with a barrier method.

It's making them more extreme.

English eludes you as effectively as logic.

You still believe in that fairy tale bullshit that was created specifically to manipulate idiots? I guess it's still working after all these years.

I'm sure you can find some idiot, probably a false flag, saying that. Or twist something someone said to imply it, the classic one being that beyond 1.5C is pretty bad and we had about 20 years to prevent it. But that's all it was, fringe stuff and lies.

There were plenty of credible sources, plenty of people on the political left accurately relaying the scientific consensus.

What does it matter though? Even if what you claim was true, that's no excuse for you to continue to ignore the science.

The biggest lie is that there were all those credible claims that world would end in 20 years.

They typically have on-site batteries for those chargers.

You are saying that rather than trying to understand the science or listen to the scientists, the fact that people you disagree with politically have championed it is making you reject it.

It's just a milder form of this: https://files.libcom.org/files...

Imagine how much time you waste going out of your way to petrol stations and standing around pumping the stuff into your car.

300 mile EVs are sometimes cheaper than fossil cars now. In the UK at the moment you can get a deal on a pre-reg MG S5 with just under 300 miles of range for £23k, which I think is about $28k (accounting for differences in taxes). It's a very nice car, refined, quiet, powerful, comfortable, and MG has a good reputation for reliability. Charge time is about 30 minutes 10%-80%.

Of course the cost of owning it will be much lower too, due to lower maintenance. It's got some nice features like Vehicle 2 Load (you can plug mains powered devices into it, up to 2400W), and with a compatible charger that means you can also do Vehicle 2 Home/Grid.

Are there any confirmed cases of EV battery fires causing loss of ships? I know there are lots of rumours, but they usually turn out to be false. Like the one about Luton Airport car park, which turned out to be a fossil.

In any case, LFP batteries don't have the same issues with releasing oxygen to keep the fire self sustaining. For a start the cathode doesn't have a negative temperature coefficient, so the main cause of thermal runaway is eliminated. Manganese dioxide has stronger bonds than cobalt, so oxygen is released much more slowly, at a rate which cannot sustain a fire. They don't experience expansion to nearly the same degree either, so mechanical safety sealing is unlikely to fail.

They are very resilient oxygen loss in general, so an exothermic reaction is very unlikely. They don't decompose at high temperatures either.

All that adds up to make them less likely to catch fire than an ICE, and if they do the fire it can be put out with water. Here's a video demonstrating that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Note that you only see flames because they are exposed to the air, not in a sealed battery pack, and water works to extinguish it. Most of the burning is the wiring and the plastic housing, not the battery cell itself. And that's after they attacked it with power tools.

Nailed it in one. They're using people with no experience to train their software... so that it can make more mistakes?

Thinking about this more, AI trained on a corpus of internet bullshit is going to be more likely to bullshit you about things that aren't convenient to fact check, because the legions of dipshits do exactly the same thing.

Only a clown who knows how nothing works thinks human rights aren't a political issue, since they are invented concepts which are wholly meaningless without a government willing to protect them.

Giving it access is one thing, giving it enough access to delete things is another.

They probably followed its instructions for granting access, too.
