Yes, if you're rolling it out for a single charger in the middle of nowhere. My understanding is that much of the grid already exists if there is a town or even just a rest stop present, it likely has grid power. I will grant that this

Hah, yes, of course, I'm falling into the FUD trap. What I meant to say was the kind of infrastructure that defeats some of the FUD around EVs, such as chargers at rest stops along highways, in parking lots, hotel/motel car parks,

Was looking at EVs last weekend, slightly accelerating a purchase that was going to be made soon anyway and, yep, there is plenty of additional interest as a result of current fuel prices / availability. EVs were only going to grow in

Funny thing: I wanted to try out Copilot to help with creating a starting point for a diagram in Visio. Copilot isn't in Visio (at least in the subscription my work pays for). I used Copilot's chat interface instead, and it is una

Yes, and you are wrong. Objectively.

Entrenched status quo. A variation of 'science progresses one funeral at a time'. Sadly. Australia is the same. More sunshine than we know what to do with. Vast amounts of land that is essentially unpopulated and no good for much

> By 2050, the world will need nearly three times as much power as we use today This feels like a "no one needs more than 640k of RAM" ^ kind of comment. Only triple? In 24 years? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the transition

I think there may be adversaries smart enough to coordinate a situation to get a little hacking war going on between two friendlies who both think they're 'hacking back' at enemies. Verifying the actual source of a hack is no

Also, counter to my own argument is that EVs can still be hacked with (although less 'mechanically') as per recent article and HN discussion: http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/ev/ https:/&

Legit question (and one that I need to answer for myself as well): Would it be cheaper to keep the EV and rent a car for when you need to do longer trips? (also taking into account the additional hassle of renting a petrol/diesel car)

It was an enforcement of paying a (small) portion of the externalities as a result of the use of fossil fuels. The "tax" was to be paid by the largest polluters, hence their lobbying against it. It wasn't something the citize

> Humans really do not like change This is definitely part of it. My personal opinion is that 'mechanical intelligence' is so intertwined with, cough, masculinity that EVs are a threat to these kinds of men at the very core

I'm not sure the failure modes are too significantly different. I think it's likely you may consider them 'easy to handle' is because there's been years to learn how to handle these failure modes (which is a positiv

Slightly tangential, we bought a 2014 Nissan Leaf about 18 months ago, against howls of protest from parents-in-laws and brother- and sister-in-laws with all the regular electric car FUD you hear (can't drive interstate on a single tan

I wholeheartedly support GrapheneOS but, because of that, I very much hope they don't box themselves into a corner that's then easy to 'wall off'. Having said that, the hardware being restricted to Pixel devices was alwa

What are the requirements of vehicles that drive across the border, like if a Canadian family is holidaying in Buffalo? If they're driving a BYD, do they get stopped at the border? What if they sold their BYD to a US family? Can it be

Data Centre builds are being managed by the tech bro companies aren't they? Don't they follow a much different set of rules than 'public' construction? (for better and worse).

The attention to those fringe issues is brought by those conservatives and lobbyists etc who explicitly want to distract and divide attention from climate change and renewables. It's strongly my opinion that there are far fewer people

Pretty funny, worth seeing at least once to be able to reference it at appropriate times. Having had my house raided, I love this. Police incompetence should be exposed at all opportunities with the hope that it makes some small amount of d
