Is efficiency of the company the wrong metric in this case? Wouldn’t we rather have a market and prices reflect what it can bare rather than an open tab?

I used to enjoy watching his stuff, but he became hyperbolic, and now has too much rage bait for the algorithm.

Not really, the FOC software that runs on the inverters is compute heavy and safety critical. It gets its own dedicated controller (they are actually running to cpus in parallel in case one fails) and same with the bms. They talk over can c

For sure, but the economics don’t work out for the earlier Bev battery chemistry’s. The additional cycle where from v2x don’t justify it, getting a power wall just makes more sense in the long run. But I still agree the option should be the

electric drive for off road is definitely superior. I run a ev conversion company, and started with converting an old 4x4. The amount of fidelity of throttle control is insian, not to mention regen makes for great hill decent. Ev rock crawl

Hmm do you have any reference material stating they are in fact different series groups? that’s a odd way to do it, generally you just add more cells in each parallel group Regardless most hv solar inverters are 600v or 800v so all those pa

Not really. Most pack are 96s Chemistry wise the only real major difference for charge profiles is lfp vs standard li-ion. Pretty much every pack spits cell data out over can, and contains hv contactors. Projects like https://gi

this makes me think of what’s in the waste itself. Is a big pile of steel worse than a few box’s of rare earth elements and toxins?

Fast acceleration from instantaneous torque delivery is going to increase the chance of breaking the friction barrier between the ground and the wheels. changing that torque delivery curve is going to have a huge effect on maintaining grip.

I strongly doubt that, tire compound and design plays a huge roll, as well as the driver. I reckon that simply changing the throttle ramp would have a good effect on tire wear (I daily drive an ev conversion and have seen this first hand)

And that even depends on the location! panels in Arizona vs in Vancouver island are going wear at different rates!

There’s a quickly growing ev conversion industry. Lots of shops that will take your vintage ride and convert it. the amount of wrecked evs showing up in wrecking yards is resulting in a new era of hotrodding. check out www.openinverter.com

That’s in the law books. In the Netherlands it’s part of the zoning to have a freight line for loading/off loading. It actually takes up much less space compared to truck loading docks. Parking take sup a lot of land.

Helium has actually re stimulated my interest in the space. if you can come up with a set of proofs for a particular action/solution that you can boot strap a network without the need for a company, that’s huge if actually true.

Again some better tires and a lift. The gambler 500 is a good indication of what a small shit box can do with better tires. I lifted my small old Subaru, and some at tires. was a nicer ride than most trucks, and snaked into more places they
