Low speed warning sound just a quiet, satisfied “huh derp derp derpedy derp derp DERP hm derp derp derp, doo de derp derp derp”

Tough but fair.

It *might* handle differently than that car from 20 years ago with which it shares absolutely no design elements or components.

To what degree does it work on its own if my phone’s missing / discharged / whatever? How’s the phone app? Can I preheat it? Send destinations to it?  Pretty straightforward, or is it janky and laggy?

Roughly? 1 for 100 - 150 EVs to avoid queueing

If you were wondering if the sounds were worth it, the sounds were worth it.

“acceptably full” is “whatever gets you to your destination” so you see a lot of people doing 10 minute pee-break charges. But putting a full 200 miles on an EV (rough point at which most EVs slow down their charging) is about half an hour on a public fast charger.  

80% of people do 80% of their charging at home.   An EV that lives in a driveway or garage at night has a 200 - 300 mile range *per day* before it starts to look for public charging...I’ve owned an EV for three years, done medium and short trips with it all the time and have touched a public station like...three times?

Not really; it’s a pretty aggressive EV adoption forecast that even makes up for the demand lost to solar adoption and LED lighting conversion.  Very locally some upgrades are required sometimes...

By the numbers, lower income areas that are *dense* have perfectly fine (non-Tesla) EV adoption; lower income *rural* areas are the hard ones.

You have to try to stay *just* ahead of EV adoption; otherwise the nature of electric rates (dominated by kW not kWh) tends to mean that the station cashflows negatively.  And you can usually do better than a rest stop...

Yep - electric generation down about half since 2005 with a very plausible path towards near zero CO2 by 2050...peak CO2 emissions on the US grid were 2006...or maybe it is that none of us understand high school physics. Could be that too.  https://www.eei.org/issuesandpolicy/Pages/CleanEnergy.aspx

Model Y battery is 75 kWh, right? You charged 63 percent of it, so 51 kWh.

Note that Bradley’s first-gen Leaf here and the second generation (and all Plus’es are 2nd) are very different cars; believe MY2018 is the divider.

So question - the airplane in the article is coming up on 50 years old - do light aircraft not really wear out? Wear out based on hours not years of life? Eventually end up with so many parts replaced that it’s not really the original at all?

The first dude on the scene was also actually maybe the marshal guy coming in from the other side, (post-Armco side), to whose technique I would say: you also will use a fire extinguisher wrong the first few times you use it. You need to be closer than seems ... correct and you need to walk in on it; it’s not even a…

Yes, this is how this works, and it is a fairly standard milk run for the nearest ambulance to Hospital X, who have it down pat and usually bring an engine or rescue squad to assist, clear FOD off the field, etc. Then the helo travels a buck twenty, buck twenty five, *as the crow files,* the entire way to the…

That though is probably just the Bolt EUV, which is bigger than what’s pictured and already a known animal: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33799068/chevy-2022-bolt-bolt-euv-tease/

Call the local FD, trooper! Moving people who have some kind of reduced mobility out of an awkward space is the day-to-day of any ambulance crew, there’s many more “hands per truck” than any police unit, and a fire truck can own a lane of highway traffic in a way a Tahoe just can’t.

....nothing on GM / EVgo 2750 fast chargers announced 2 weeks ago?
