  • A lot of EVs are currently advertising charge times of 30 minutes from 15% to 90%. Furthermore:

    If theres a line for the charging station, everybody is gonna take 30 minutes, so you could realize you have a 2 hour wait.

    If the battery is hot, it can take longer. If you just got off the highway, it could add another 15-30 minutes while the battery cools off.

  • That looks like more than 80 pounds. Well, maybe it's hollow.

  • So, I'm going off of talking to mechanics and a lot of YouTube. But theres a few ways to slice it.

    Most batteries aren't experiencing total failures, which was more common on your electric cars of 15+ years ago (think Nissan leaf). But they lose capacity as they are used. 25% after 5 years is common. After 10 years it could be 50%. An EV advertised with 300 miles of range only really gets 250 from a full charge when it's really cold out, by the time it's a 10 year old car that could be anywhere from 90-140 miles depending on how the battery is holding up. And it still takes just as long to charge to 100%.

    When a car loses this much performance, most people would say it "needs" a new battery. Not really sure how long cars manufactured 2020 and later are going to last before a complete failure on average, it might be 15-20 years. But even after the first couple years they are losing performance.

    This is why EVs fetch extremely low prices used, and a lot of people recommend leasing rather than buying them. Because you can't make or fix a battery at home, and the price of a new battery is $10k-$20k on a car that, probably, is starting to get other issues and has little or no service availability (since most owners are junking them).

    So currently, a $30k Corolla is going to be worth far more 5 years after purchase than an $80k whatever EV you care to name.

  • I mean, you've got to appreciate star wars for coming first. Without Star Wars, there's probably no Gundam (and I'm not just talking about the knockoff lightsaber) and in turn no Evangelion as we know it.

    It's Stalinist to want walkable cities with fewer cars, apparently 🤦

    Jump

  • This is genuinely in bad faith. As far as I can tell, the "15 minute cities" are not some renaissance in urban development with dense housing and mixed-purpose residential and commercial spaces. It's just slapping a steep fine on anybody who drives out of the neighborhood without bothering to check if they actually have access to an Aldi's within their zone, much less where they might be employed. (Oh, don't want to pay 38 pounds every day as a commute toll? Quit your office job and work at the corner store. We did it, we saved the environment!)
