I don't think I've ever claimed that EVs are suitable for everyone right now or that the infrastructure is there to fully replace every single scenario. The point is still that most people can have most of their needs met by a sim

It's not being hand waved away. You're just constructing scenarios that most people owning an electric vehicle will agree is such a non-issue that it's not really worth debating. There are plenty of fast chargers to fill the

Most people don't drive 500km per day, the average is closer to 50 or so. So on average, you could easily top of your battery pack on 240V/10A circuit. That would be around 10kWh, which you'll do in 5 hours. Double the averag

I don't know about the NA, but that is definitively not the case for most superchargers (or any other brand of fast chargers, for that matter) in Europe. Batteries are expensive so this is only done in very special cases. I know they&#

The stateless nature of Wireguard makes it kind of hard to implement. Having something DHCP-esque makes sense when you have an external mechanism for authentication, like most traditional VPN software does, but with Wireguard you have to ex

Who would have thought that a car manufacturer that still doesn't have a competitive option in the battery-electric market would constantly be making bogus claims with no sources to back it up. News at five! This opinion piece is just

I had a very similar issue with some AMD-based servers (bulldozer, I think) about ten years ago. There was a bug where Xen-based virtual machines could set a C-state on cores it was assigned, but for whatever reason it wasn't able to w

As of January the sanctions weren't in full effect. Like the article mentions the ban on refined oil products wasn't in full effect before 5th of February. Russia has lost the single largest market they have for refined oil produc

This is just part of the story. The other part of the issue has been importing refurbished items, like screens and other components. The parts are literally pulled out of Apple produced products, as is. But since Apple puts their logo every

India sells refined goods to Europe. They buy crude oil from Russia because Russia has no market to sell it to, and have to sell it at a discounted price. If Russia puts any sanctions on where India can sell their refined goods they'll

India imports crude oil from Russia and refines it into products that Europe wants, like diesel as you mentioned. You forgot to mention that Europe imported almost all diesel from Russia.

India wouldn't accept that. They don't have any leverage, they played their hand.

The benefit with 3-phase is that you now can use a single cable/charger to charge up to three separate cars, which greatly reduces the cost of setting up a lot of chargers in, say, a parking garage. And you can opportunistically delive

A Tesla Model 3 uses roughly 160Wh/km and has a 75-82kWh battery pack. You can easily do the math. I think you'll be surprised.

The MCS (Megawatt Charging System) is also designed by a committee and has been adopted by Tesla for the Tesla Semi, so I don't see how this is even a relevant argument. NACS does only support single phase charging, while CCS2 can do 3

You're right. But they only recently started removing the rate-limiting when you got a new pack, which there was a lot of fuss about. I imagine there's quite an overlap of cars with unlimited supercharging and frequent superchargi

I don't really see it. They're competing with a ton of operators on cost, the margins are very small. When they start offering retail services on supercharger locations, then you know they're serious about making this a profi

For what it's worth Tesla has been limiting how fast older models are able to charge at superchargers, with the stated goal of extending battery longevity. I guess there's some truth to the stated goal, but I imagine it was more a

Some German cars display current usage as kWh/h, which is just a stupid way of saying kW. If you're using 3kW for one hour, that means you're using 3kWh ... per hour. It just doesn't make any sense to write it like that.

I might be hung up on the word "illusion". The only difference between miles per gallon and gallons per mile is that the former increases and the latter decreases with efficiency. They are still saying the exact same thing.

But 84Wh is still enough energy to drive a modern battery-electric vehicle around 500 meters. Kind of puts things into perspective. I find these numbers really fascinating because it shows how efficient battery-electric vehicles are, especi

You're probably thinking about the on-board inverter, it's often referred to as a battery charger. The battery management system is entirely within the car, and the car will tell what voltage and amperage to deliver to it. The des
