I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it's a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

  • No sign of slowdown for Chinese electric car sales, despite EU curbs

    Jump

  • Something like not registering the car in Texas so it technically isn't imported. This is similar to all the people in the northeast with cars registered in Florida to avoid higher insurance premiums, but they're playing games with federal laws instead of state laws.

  • The Impact of Large-scale Solar Development on Farmland Values: Evidence from New York State | large parcels within 2 miles of substations sold for 15-18% more than comparables located further away

    Jump

  • How is it not? Energy storage for use later in a different location from where it was collected seems like the purpose of a battery to me.

  • Terraform is making the claim right now. By eliminating inverters and loss from long distance transmission lines there are opportunities to make solar installation that's not near existing infrastructure to be economically more viable.

  • Aircraft and shipping would be two very important circumstances.

  • Because the battery tech you're thinking about isn't the most efficient in all cases. Using hydrocarbons as a battery can be more efficient depending on circumstances.

  • This seems to validate Terraform's approach of synthesizing hydrocarbons from PV power sources where there's more distance between the production of PV power and it's use. I hope they can figure out methenol synthesis instead of methane for this purpose.

  • How a wave of giant solar projects could transform the Minnesota energy mix

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, part of capitalism is the entrenched interests that interfere with anything that doesn't directly benefit themselves. So large solar installations like this are a big win over that resistance to new sources of power.

  • The Nissan Ariya Is Better Than You Think

    Jump

  • That sounds like the status quo, not a revolution.

  • “To our horror”: Widely reported study suggesting divorce is more likely when wives fall ill gets axed

    Jump

  • That's an interesting observation, it'd be interesting to see what could be the reason why that pattern might hold in a proper survey. But it could just be chance that it was that way at that particular facility.

  • Here's Every New Electric Vehicle Model for Sale in the U.S. for 2024

  • That's certainly relevant context for wanting more range, but even with 80% degradation of a battery originally rated for a 240 mile range, you wouldn't need to spend much time charging at the intermediate destination before returning home to make the round trip with plenty of range to spare in each direction.

    But I get it, people who regularly drive longer distances will want more range, that makes sense. My original pount is that many people don't and they could be paying a lot more for what they're not actually using. This is especially true for families with multiple vehicles.

  • I'm hearing from a lot of owners that range isn't as big a deal they initially thought it was. Many say that they never drove 200 miles on a charge during their ownership of rhe EV. I'm sure that's very context dependent, but it got me thinking about why I'd need 300 miles on a charge and I'm not sure if I have a good answer.

  • BYD launches upgraded 2025 Song Plus EV with new features and design, starting at $21,000

  • How much after import taxes to the US?

    Can it be imported at all?

  • Free Electric Autonomous Shuttle Service Launches In Detroit

    Jump

  • It would be even more efficient and probably safer on rails, but I'm not going to argue against free pubic transportation in Detroit where there's a lot of political influence in favor of individual vehicle ownership.

  • How Chinese EVs Are Taking Over Mexico

    Jump

  • You missed the step where the government subsidizes the manufacturing of EVs so that they can be sold for less than they cost to build at market rates for material and labor. Or was that implied in your step 2?

  • Same can be said for air compressors at gas stations.

  • Indians who prepaid $1,000 to order Tesla EVs ask for their money back as cars fail to arrive

    Jump

  • Tesla is doing the same thing every US car manufacturer has, sell luxury at luxury prices to markets that can afford luxury, ignore everything else until competition eats the majority of the market, continue to sell luxury vehicles to people who see their vehicle as part of their personal image.

    India is generally not part of that strategy.
