This was probably payed for, with tax payer money, coming from an official government entity. If any of those 3 is true, the bar should be higher than what someone just did in their free time? I would surely expect more.

That is a wild claim. I can't imagine that being correct given how that's been abused in the past https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/08/iranian-man-middle-att...

I don't think that's true. For one because the size is what makes it efficient/worth it. Second, the old windmills have all been there forever, so no one complains because they don't know any better. Keep in mind that a

Sure, but those same free markets will happily see those expensive producers go out of business. In the electricity scenario, that would mean blackouts. If you triple the price, you don't have a new gas plant appear out of thin air. An

I've read this before and I don't understand how this doesn't become/is untenable. Doesn't this mean that solar/wind are insanely lucrative? Also, this would mean that in order to really bring the price down, g

Sure, I'm mentioning this because the number of places where you feed in at the retail rate is shrinking. It's great to get renewables on people's homes but as you get more of it, it becomes very expensive as fewer people pay

Just saying, the vast majority of services people are moving from would be US based given it is where all of big tech comes from. So comparing it to the US is relevant? If you're trying to say the eu isn't a saint either, sure.

And the discussion about that PR goes in an email chain too? You can pull, but having the back and forth documented along with the code is not a nice to have imho

If you care about driving far, you don't drive 80 in an EV, it's that simple. It might actually be the same with an ICE, slowing down a bit might save fuel so you end up with one fewer stop so in all it might be faster. Air resist

Some Tesla owners still have free supercharging so they'll be there because it's free "fuel". For your road trip example let's say we take a 1000 mile trip. With an EV that can be done in 6 legs (sandbagging it), ma

You want to back that up with evidence? Your defense secretary the other day said, responding to a news article he didn't like: "the sooner Ellison buys it the better" [1]. I don't think this kind of media control happen

I have been driving electric for 10 years now... You talk about rates, but if you care about that, this is a no brainer. You can go to that super charger and charge in 10 minutes. You'll just pay triple your home rate though? So if you

I have driven a leaf since 2016 and I can tell you that no one will do this with 100 miles between stops. Because the stops aren't at exact intervals, you might be stopping every 80 to 90 miles since you don't want to risk not get

by hvb2 7mo ago
The only use for that is for people that cannot charge at home I would think. After having driven for 4 to 5 hours a 15 minute break is not an issue? If you can charge while you sleep, you would typically have enough capacity to make it thr

If by "over here" you mean the US, that sounds about right. Can be summed up succinctly into "don't bite the hand that feeds you".
