Are we already in the ‘90s style revival?

Nothing as long as it’s in my car.

In this case, I guess every one doesn’t come from the same place, so how many different flights would be needed? And once they get there, the plane will go back for other jobs, hen come back to carry everybody home...

Yup “raising awareness” is an excuse to produce an energy wasting event. The green washing (including the hydrogen generator, do they think H2 is naturally available?).

And where do they get that hydrogen?

Jalopnik, powered by Kinja.

I guess the pilot has the task to report from their experience from driving the car how it performs and how to make it better. So in addition to operating the vehicle, they are part of the engineering team.

Well this symbol is associated with Diesel engines because they need a heating element.

1. the title is click-baity : it makes believe the EU made the price higher. That’s quite dishonest.

Right you are. C’est un fait !

Yup, he quickly understood that he couldn’t safely stop it, and accepted the fait of the truck, all will being comforted that it was only material damages.

XKCD didn’t include the case where the law makes a standard mandatory.

It’s not that bad. Charging cables are generally long enough that even if, like on the Zoé, the plug is in the center-front, you can still park ass first and have the cable run along the car.

Exactly, EV have their best ranges in cities with low speeds. Also, it could be in anticipation of NYC imposing taxes on ICE.

Some charging points allow you to pay with debit cards on the spot without opening an account, but then, prices are higher.

Yup. To me the problem is rather knowing the prices. It’s not displayed on the charger, you need to check on the apps of on of the several program you have a card for. Because of course, it’s never the same. (well that is my personal experience in France).

In Europe, the best seller EVis Renault’s Zoé, that charges with type 2 and lately the latest version has a CSS option. Renault owning Nissan makes also clear they’d rather have the same charging parts, at least for scale economics. Type 2 became the de facto AC standard, and CSS for CC.
