Uh. You get you can replace them without run flats, right?

You’re urine doesn’t have corrosive metals that can strip piping away. If it does...you may need to see a doctor.

Finally! An environmentally friendly approach to deforestation!

It looks like a fat BRZ to me. 

This car is going to be the most disappointing reveal ever. I would much rather have them bring back the Celica as a sports car for the people - a Mustang competitor that it originally was. RWD, retro styling, maybe throw some louvers on it, keep the price low so people can actually buy it.

Just fuck off already, Toyota.

Gotta say, just like the World Cup, the French did it better...

“Standards are a barrier to innovation.” - like the wall sockets ?

The Porsche 350kW chargers use the tech and connectors as all the other CCS 350kW fast chargers. So pretty much all upcoming BEVs can use it - they just won’t necessarily see a benefit from using it over, say, a 150kW fast charger.

Short version (US):

Serious answer: put the phone down and drive. The BMW moto is " the ultimate driving machine".

Rubbish. Imagine trying to find a Mazda-branded fuel station in a different city. Luckily petrol/diesel are universally compatible, much like electrons.

This, like the mini-USB charger, is something that’s going to have to be legislated to a standard. Large car companies would love to take advantage of pointing out of “why would you buy a BMW when you can’t charge it anywhere?”

Yes, it is the CCS or “Combo” connector for DC fast charging. Only Nissan and Mitsubishi use the Chademo connector in the US market. KIA switched (after the electric Soul) and Honda uses CCS on the fully-electric Clarity.

It is a version of the MXS 1.2 Strada that AIM is selling, or made by the same factory.

But it still uses a CCS plug. Did you miss the bit at the end that said anyone can go use it? Just not every car is currently designed to take that much power. 

They have. Most use the SAE or CCS plug. There are two variants for that, one for Europe, and one for the US. And then Nissan uses CHAdeMO. But the SAE and CCS are the most useful design since it only requires one plug. In the US, the Nissan leaf actually has two charging ports, one SAE, and one CHAdeMO for fast…

I’m still trying to figure this one out.

Sort of? I mean there’s an SAE standard J1772 plug, but Tesla doesn’t use it. I think someone else has mentioned the CCS which is a J1772 with extra pins at the bottom for DC. SO yes, there is a standard set by the international industry society (which sets all sorts of other standards), but no, not everyone is using…
