Its a BS quote, the deck was financially stacked against EV procurement from the start. For example: 1. EV proposals had to account for a 100% EV fleet. The small percentage of rural routes where this was difficult created a long tail of co

A resistive heater directly converts electricity to heat, whereas a heat pump instead moves heat, from the outside to inside of your car. The heat your car gains is reflected by the heat the outside loses. In that way, they can be 300-400%

Can you share a source for that? I know at least 1 person first hand who has renounced and then later on in their life regained citizenship. It's possible the rules around this have changed however.

Are you purporting that Covid numbers are overinflated only for non-vaccinated individuals, but not for vaccinated? Because otherwise it still doesn’t explain the discrepancy in hospitalization.

The 4-inch pleating translates into a larger surface area of filter material, which in turn means the flow rate per area is reduced. So you have the same amount of air going through 4x the area of filter material compared to a 1" filte
