Came here for this. Thank you.

San Francisco is listening. We need help.

Totally agree with you on the last point of it avoids the tragedy of the commons if you have to bring your own cable. It also looks nicer too, if anyone cares about that.

Worked for Kia.

John Candy/Vacation for the win!

This.

Why is the hood so high? An EV doesn’t have the ICE engine plus mandated pedestrian crash zones.

It would be great to have a multi-hour podcast with experts on both sides arguing their points, and having the assistance to the host doing fact-checking during the podcast.

What immediately struck me about Belib’s chargers is that, unlike most American charging stations, drivers use their own cables

1. Reliable: 2019 Kia Niro EV. Love that thing. It’s quick, fast, quiet, efficient, and has knobs/buttons. We charge it most of the time with a 120V outlet. Easy.

Crescent City, represent!

And that is one reason why capitalism is broken: focus on short-term gains (stock buy-backs) versus investment in labor, capital improvements, efficiency, etc. (See our airline industry).

What sometimes gets missed in the updated CARB rules “Advanced Clean Cars II” bit from late 2022 is that strong PHEVs are incentivized more than previous regulations. What’s a strong PHEV? One with a 50 mile range and a strong electric motor such that the gas engine says off in nearly every “punch it Chewie”…

Funny thing. VW released the ID.Buzz back in 1978 along with EPRI and TVA:

How is this possible? Pillars are so thick and belt lines are so high, plus all the air bags and impact beams, why is this happening? Or are we doing something wrong?

But the belt line is above the ears of the rear seat passenger, all in the name of safety.

European tastes largely, and we Americans buy enough of them too (shrug).

Been asking myself this ever since Audi offered the TT in primer gray... and charged more for it. Genius!

How many extra head gaskets are in the glove compartment (asking for my brother who has a ‘18 Crosstrek)?
