It’s a bit of a chicken vs the egg problem. Charge stations in parks and at access point would really change the range requirements. There’s some parts of van island that kinda have this covered already. It’s pretty neat.

This. Rail lines don’t need much maintenance once installed. Compared to a hwy which starts to fall apart immediately. Trains are a relatively simple and robust transportation method. I wonder what the insurance costs look like between the

Exo-skeleton from my understanding is marketing for unibody. like most vehicles other than traditional body in frame trucks. Moving from 12v to 24 or even 48v makes a lot of sense. Not sure what you mean by power and data on the same lines

In bc? the amount of climbing is insane, Most is non 4x4. But also depends what you mean by 4x4 accesses. Some better tires and then maybe a lift kit covers 99%.

this is a good point. push away the poor infrastructure design, and subsidies. The cars will go!

Yikes. “section dedicated to Cable Cars in San Francisco” if anything policy should be pushing for more trains than rules for driverless cares.

Yes, and pretty much any truck of any size

This. I spend a lot of time on remote coastlines up in northern bc. hours, some times days from any civilization. There is plastic everywhere. lots of fishing supplies. But also a lot of commercial junk.

No they are not, there’s all the signage, barriers, and drainage. Roads wear out very quickly, they are the fastest degrading forum of infrastructure.

Check out the openinverter.org/wiki project. it’s very active, lots of development and backing going on I also design a variety of parts for adapting oem ev parts for other vehicles www.bratindustries.net

They don’t want to cannibalize the other product markets. Canon for example was caught up with the video features that they added to the 5d back in the day. it sparked a video revolution, but destroyed their camcorder sector. same thing aga

Very interesting. I tree plant a few months out of the year, one thing is most people can’t tell the forest from the trees. what are the ideas and effects in a diverse ecosystem? is there any plans to safe hard natural ecosystems from getti

Your not wrong, but we sort of did. Road infrastructure gets the funding. We need to nationalize our train infrastructure. And change our zoning laws to prioritize rail freight instead of trucks. The amount of land saved from this alone wo

This. I hear people demanding at home fast chargers. It doesn’t make any sense. Most folks look at ev’s though an ICE lens. Most don’t understand that you wake up every day with a full battery. it’s a complete routine change, most don’

Hmm not so straightforward. it’s very necessary for all forums of plant life. its just a matter of to much in the atmosphere is not a good thing. The current climate issue movement fails to address the ecological problems at hand. It’s all

That’s a interesting metric I never thought about it. How much time pre year spent gassing up? that’s crazy to think about.

Yes that’s the point. gasification turns them into functional fuel’s. combusting them produces much “cleaner” gases than what burning plastic directly would produce.

Gasification + fractional distillation tech I think are really under utilized. In theory it’s a great way to reduce this non ecological material into fuel, in return into something that is ecologically compatible. plastic is just fuckd

offset every row and significant reduction in “wasted space” also cooling is a huge part of what makes these work. We have to stop looking at battery’s from purely a cell level. Add in the structural element, and the claim is they are now
