Our Ioniq EV (170 mile range) has battery thermal management. most EV’s manufactured today have that, that cools the battery in the heat and warms it in the cold, in order to maintain optimal range, so the range relatively consistent.... you’ll lose about 15%~20% at freezing as opposed to 40%.

I swear on all that is Jalop, if Dodge doesn’t name their EV muscle the Thundercat, I’m gonna strip a drain bolt.

Am I the only one here who sees the obvious fact, that capitalism can’t be relied upon to fix the environmental problem that capitalism created?

although i will stand by my statement that 150 is a “good enough” range for starters for most folks out there, if the EV tax credit passes, that’ll incentivize manufacturers to put 40kwh batteries in the car, which for a small sedan or hatchback will probably get somewhere close 180 miles... which like what youre…

Yeah, the title did a evoke a bit of a ‘No Shit, Sherlock’ reaction.

my wifes ev has 170 mile range... and since we bought it in Feb this year, we’ve literally gone on ONE trip where we needed more range.. and if our destination had charging probably would have been fine (but unfortunately it didnt) so we took my car. we went with the $150/month cheap EV route. looking at gas prices…

The range is the issue on a car that is $33k and gets 100 miles of range. The new Fiat 500e does 200 miles at that price. It’s still new technology but the price of batteries have dropped by 75% in a decade. In another decade we will see cheaper, more efficient, and energy dense batteries. More efficient motors and…

The title is a totally rational, and somewhat obvious view. I’m curious to see what people land on in terms of range. Mazda seems to be on the low side with 100mi, but 250mi seems like too much.

We need a new game here specifically for ads like this that look on the surface to be too good to be true.

You’ve gotta admit... their ironic choice of soundtrack was kinda perfect.

I love that you “clarified” your idiom with another idiom lol

Yeah I’ve been watching his videos for a bit and they’re a lot of fun. Good group of people.

I guess that channel entered the “viral” corner of the youtube misterious algorithm...
I too have been in the Matt’s Offroad Recovery rabbit hole for a week now.

Can’t tell if trolling. They don’t seek out the pollution, the pollution happens because that’s where the people are. And lots of people would love to live not in a city but it’s just no possible. 

1st: Anyone blaming the president (ANY president) for high oil prices clearly doesn’t understand how global commodities work. But that’s easier than blaming OPEC and Russia for cutting production while the world’s economies are getting back on their feet I guess.. 

Taking my daily driver to the track without track day insurance. I had a Subaru Legacy GT Spec.B that was prepped for weekend track days and during my second session after moving up from the intermediate to the advanced group (without an instructor) I wound up going off track and sideswiping a tire wall. Fortunately,…

So...epic?

I would still say that the penalty for inconveniencing the locals and driving with sloppy precision being to wreck your car is a bit excessive. It’s not even illegal to drive through that area, but if you don’t do it careful enough according to some subjective standard, your fine shall be in the thousands of quids?

It would be reasonable if the bollards were road-safe, meaning that they crumbled and destroyed, with minimal damage to the car.

This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, at least it would be in the US.
