Agreed - there's a stat that Brits drive an average of 20 miles per day
The UK is great for EVs: distances are short and while roads are busy EVs don't idle and use much less power when stopped in traffic. Also the climate is very mild so there is much less need to heat the batteries and car interior in winter and less use for AC in the summer.
However, not everywhere is like the UK. Where I live in Canada we regularly get -20 to -30C highs in winter and some years we drop down below -40C. This really impacts the range of an EV since now the batteries have to be heated to function as does the car's interior so humans can function. The population density is also much lower so we tend to drive further.
The solution is simple though - just sell EVs in the UK vs Canada with appropriate sized batteries for the typical use in each region. Just because you can give an EV a 1,000km range does not mean that you have to. Installing a lower battery capacity is almost certainly much easier than switching the side of the car that the steering wheel is on!
As an EV owner I have just 1 question for 600 mile range (almost 1000KM): why? My current EV does 500KM (+/- 300 mile) on a single charge in summer.
Simple, many of us drive a lot more than 500km in one day and while I doubt many people do that without stopping where we stop for a break and to e.g. have a picnic, is not somewhere that comes with a charger. This means that either now you have to have two breaks, one for the humans and one for the car or you have to forgo a picnic and just stop in a town with a charger which now means you are planning your travel around the needs of the car and not the needs of the family.
If you could drive 1,000km without stopping we can stop wherever we want for breaks and just plug the car in to charge overnight at the hotel. It's either that or they need a charging station that can recharge as quickly as a petrol station can fill an ICE's tank which seems unlikely given the thickness of cables needed to deliver that much electrical power plus fast charging is not great for batteries either.
This is just yet another example of why we (USA) really do need a public, non-profit, health insurance system.
Yes, but do you really want one right now? Look at the guy who would be setting ut up. You'll probably get a health service that provides free bleach treatments but not vaccines.
The design language is inspired by visionOS and, as the name implies, features a lot of transparency.
Real liquid glass is generally hot, viscous and often quite opaque until it becomes cooler and less liquid. That's what its name implies. If they wanted something fluid and transparent alcohol would have been a much better choice....but I suspect they drank all of that before coming up with the name.
If someone wants to make a trade, they should be able. They're not kids.
"I should be able to trade whenever I want to" is not a good reason to put the stability of stock markets at risk given the damage that can cause to the economy. This is not about protecting those directly involved but amount preventing the impact on others, not involved. Besides, if they do not have the patience to wait until the following morning when the markets open again that's a pretty good indication that they are kids, or at least acting like one.
Couldn't they pass all the bikes through a box that delivers a high-energy eletromagnetic pulse, or microwaves for a split second or something to destroy any electronics inside
This would have to be pretty powerful to penetrate a metal frame and not only can you harden electronics against this but you can probably avoid them all together. Effectively all they need is a motor, a power source and a switch and any EM pulse powerful enough to destroy them will probably melt the frame.
Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up, package it, and sell it as fertilizer.
