My brain is working slowly today.  I had to come back to star you when I finally got the joke. 

My understanding is that the terms of the loan which GM gm gave Lordstown to buy the plant from gm include gm getting the plant back if Lordstown defaults. gm has not very much to lose if Lordstown goes under, except for all of Lordstown’s zero emissions credits, which were also part of the deal.

“Can’t store hydropower.”

But how would you divide the country up?

In southern Africa this would be called a drift.

There’s lot of clearance between the brakes and wheels on a Bolt. If Clemente wants to improve its unpaved road performance, he might be able to switch to some 15-16 inch wheels and higher profile tires.

On i3s with the range extender, said REX kicks in at 6% state of charge.  Maybe use that as a guide? 

In Malawi we had a JDM minivan where the window on the sliding door opened, but the window on the right side only pivoted out about 4cm. Fortunately it had uber powerful a/c with vents in the rear roof and a separate rear thermostat.  

This was the official reason, as reported in the car mags of the day. Side benefit (for them): sell more air conditioning.

Automotive startups generally don’t survive. If you want to, make an investment in a company that wants to make a car you really believe in, but consider it a donation to a cause, not an investment. 

Aptera has made right to repair, modular swapability and customer support the core of their (future) service plan. If they ever exist. 

Around 1998, I think. 

Stopping distance might be long, but EVs barely use their brake pads, since they do most of their deceleration through regeneration. 

You remind me of the stories my grandmother told about growing up in the very early 20th century, one of which involved a local doctor who when he finished making house calls would tell his horse to take him home, and go to sleep in his buggy.  He always made it home. 

Another synergy:  any of those charging yards that are located near town centers can be rented out during the day, while the trucks are out, to commuters needing to charge their EVs. 

I am not familiar with the region in which your example is located, but I suspect that most people faced with a 240 mile longer drive on the interstate would take the shorter route. I usually do. 

Given the hub and spoke system, most trips are a combination of long and short flights. The flights from origin to hub to hub to destination will almost always add up to many more miles than driving directly, which makes the “passenger miles per gallon” metric used in the article kind of meaningless when comparing to…

That’ll buff out. 

Me neither. But I do remember that my best friend’s parents bought a brand new 454-powered Oldsmobile 98 in June ’73.

But one must be impressed by his forethought, given that the Arab Oil Embargo didn’t start until late in 1973.
