LFP batteries are tired, tested and true. A tesla cell has a 1500 cycle count. A LFP battery can go 2000-4000 cycles.

Prediction: Grocery stores will be the new home for rapid EV charging. It is the perfect 30 min weekly stop.

Don’t calculate charge time to full. The last 20% is what takes all the time. Most NMC battery equipped EV’s are normally only charged to 80% unless you are doing a road trip so look at the charge time to 80%. Most cars now can rapid charge to 80%. But wait until next year when chevy starts pumping out the ‘ultium’…

My rental brand new chevy van averaged 22L/100km in city driving (driving gently). That is 10.69MPG for you freedom units sorts. There is nothing acceptable about that in the modern car industry. Especially from us trades users burning several hundred dollars a month in fuel. The van market is an abomination of…

Get a PV array on your roof and your emissions go to zero. And this depends where you live. Here on the left coast of Canuckistan we have over 95% hydro power.

Polestar already has cars on the road and Volvo is backing it.

You are off the mark. The shortage is cobalt and nickel. Half of the electric cars are pivoting to LFP batteries from NMC. That uses none. And there is less lithium in a battery than you think. Around 7kg in a Tesla. There are literal lakes of lithium in south america. Scrape it up with a bulldozer.

GM EV600 Brightdrop van. 250 miles of range and pure electric. Except you can’t seem to buy them. No prices are listed.

That slope means slippery to the air. 

It’s called ‘collusion’, folks. Not quite a monopoly, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a small group of companies happy to just keep jacking up the prices. There is absolutely no free market happening here.

This sounds like an electrical/control issue and not anything serious. Honda will fix their shit.

That new electric Silverado is looking pretty good. Toss a canopy on it and with the rear pass through it transforms from a truck to a trades van. That’s a win in my books and it’s my leading contender.

GM decided to use a REAR MOUNTED TIMING BELT on the 3.0 Duramax. I hope they remove their heads from their rectal cavities and realize that having to remove a transmission to change a oil pump timing belt is one of the biggest ‘f**k you’ moves they have ever made.

And $25 is the high end of what that game is worth. It’s kinda oooookay but it’s no Far Cry 4.

Do this on your motorcycle. Preferably an adventure touring bike. Ride to good weather. Ride towards interesting smells and sights. When I hit the border on a trip like this I’m totally honest.

That is a perfect Hummer grade FUCK YOU to all the other people needing a single electric car charging slot.

Know guys who own logging trucks? They often replace the leaf springs with composite springs as they are the only springs that seem to handle hauling 80K GVW trucks full of logs over rough roads all day long.

KTM and catastrophic mechanical failure goes together like Air Show and Disaster.

Unexplained fires are for the courts to decide!

GM’s EV division getting into bed with Honda gives me hope. I used to work for Honda and their specifications for tracking and fixing issues is serious. So far, except for the LG battery fire issues (Same as in Hyundais) the GM electric vehicles seem extremely reliable.
