There are three things hotels bring to the table that need to be mentioned.

Exactly.

The Mini Cooper SE is a good case study here. At 110mi and <$24k, it’s in a good position to compete with the used EV market (e-Golfs and LEAFs).

I do not hate Earthroamer because they make seven-figure toys for rich people. I do not hate Earthroamer because they enable wealthy people take instagram photos pretend to be down-to-earth while still eating off granite countertops.

The Ioniq 5 is bigger than a Kia Niro. It’s like if someone took a RAV4 or CR-V and lowered the suspension a couple inches.

Shilling’s take was rather... shrill, but the core point (50% EV by 2030 isn’t enough) does check out. Just not the presentation.

In 2018, only 7.1% of France’s electricity came from fossil fuels. That’s fantastic. It’s not hypocritical to use more electricity when it’s that clean.

The I-Pace went from concept in Dec. 2016 to delivery in June 2018. That’s 19 months.

It’s a damn shame, but I understand why.

This is what the climate nerds have been saying for a long, long time.

That’s... not the worst idea I’ve heard today.

Current day engines should ABSOLUTELY NOT be retrofitted to run on hydrogen, unless you really want your engine turning into a blistered pile of slag. Hydrogen hates steel.

True, but this isn’t a fuel cell vehicle. It runs on a 4-stroke internal combustion engine. Burning H2 in an engine (instead of converting it in a fuel cell) makes a lot of NOx emissions.

Yes and no. It’s complicated. Need to complete prison, parole, probation, fines, fees, and restitution. Get a conviction (especially if you’re poor) and you’ll probably not be able to vote in the next 1-2 elections.

It’s no big deal, we can just fire the sheriff — oh wait, only the governor can do that.

The problem is that HB1 is just ASKING for abuse. It doesn’t ban protests, but it does make it dangerous to protest.

First and Neutral: maybe it won’t work, but someone has to try.

Counterpoints:

Every time battery swapping pops up, I have to go over the same stuff.

Honda’s i-MMD system is a great example of a series hybrid drive. It’s used in the current-gen Insight, Clarity, Accord Hybrid, and CR-V Hybrid.
