that’s pretty funny, to be quite honest with you. I think it should not need stating by company execs that a dedicated ev is necessary, and soon.

Oh interesting! I didn’t know they did an HR-V EV 

I love that the driver’s airbag went sideways far enough to allow the driver to smack their face on the wheel and dashboard.  Perfectly useless.

Good call on the Honda e as a comp for this.

It’s a lot to explain. An easy plug-and-play form in an app would accomplish the same much simpler than writing it out. Just a simple suggestion! 

Hertz sells vehicles that were used exclusively for Uber/Lyft. Hertz/Lyft had or have a deal where a driver can lease from Hertz. The cars are beat to utter shit. 

Better to focus on % of new sales given the fact it takes time to switch out the global fleet of cars.

That would bother me less. Someone depending on their car to make a living is going to take care of it, and for sure I have never had an Uber driver who was any sort of hoon.

Yeah, but look at that release handle. Mmmmmm...

I literally told you what it was in the title. If you read the headline and clicked on it anyway, it’s your fault for being mad about it. 

Agree. I lived in Germany for four years and the pedestrian zones are sweet. They actually are true pedestrians zones. Taxis aren’t allowed and delivery takes place late at night when the shops are closed.

Yes! I commented elsewhere that it reminded me of a Peugeot 205gti, and that's a very good thing!

If a Jalop likes it, it’s not coming to North America.

Think of it as making the fuel filter part of the gas tank. We know the fuel filter has to be replaced every so often or the fuel flow chokes off, but this time the manufacturer has made it so you have to replace the entire gas tank in order to fix the filter problem.

I was just thinking my mom, who’s almost 90, could really use that.

The problem with recharging on the move is that it’s very inefficient. You expend more energy recharging the batteries than you get back from them when fully charge by this method. Otherwise, well, you’d break physics. Hyundai has taken the “charge” mode out of their PHEVs for this very reason. You’re better off using…

GM calls it’s employees “expenslings”

They weren’t just spooked; they were prodded. The Dieselgate settlement stipulated VWAG had to invest $2 billion into EV infrastructure. That's just the US; other major markets had their own punishments for VW.

True story:

One fine midwinter day when my family and I were attending the local”winter fair” which is essentially a farming and livestock exposition...as I drove in the gates,I looked over to see a Honda fit with a goddamned horse in the back!!!!!! Ok, it was a miniature horse, but still. the woman driving had a cargo…
