"Backed by billions of dollars in venture capital and established aerospace giants that include Boeing and Airbus, startups across the world such as Joby, Archer, Wisk and Lilium are spearheading this technological revolution, developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that could transform the way we travel."
We had brief power outage and I was weirdly excited because I got to test out the V2L feature from our Ioniq5 EV 😎
💡 V2L: vehicle-to-load, it lets you draw electricity from the EV's battery, without needing to start the vehicle.
I bought the adapter a year ago but didn't have any reason to use it. Now that I know it works, I'm gonna keep it in the frunk for whatever emergency reasons.
The third shirt I've bought from @show 's swag store. I agree with the sentiment that we need to make #EV charging more equitable but I mostly bought this one because it's a map of Chicago and that's where my wife is from.
Toyota en Stellantis zeggen met hun benzinemotoren vooral op Zuid Amerika te willen richten. Toch vraag ik me af wat die landen gaan doen als Westerse steden veel schoner worden naar mate er meer elektrisch vervoer is. Die nieuwe benzinewagens zijn dan wel redelijk schoon, maar dr zal veel oud spul rondrijden. En dat in een opwarmend klimaat worden die steden er niet prettiger op.
"Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) wants to better understand where EV chargers are needed in Connecticut and how adding chargers might benefit a community. They're collecting feedback through May 31.”
The car is nearly 5 years old. The platform nearly a decade. It is going to suffer in sales, and that's before anyone talk about the high cost of BEVs and their dependence on subsidies.
My #homeassistant produced this nice image, because today was totally clear sky and my solar panels were providing full power. It's funny how doing things at home is so clearly visible in power usage.
ABC news have decided to take on the "electric cars aren't really better for the environment" misinfo.
The analysis seems to be fairly thorough, and has been tailored to the Australian situation.
Their conclusion is the lifetime CO₂ emissions for a mid-sized electric SUV are at least 2-3 times lower (depending on state) than a comparable petrol SUV, with the difference becoming larger if the owner has solar power at home.
@davidho I fear the cables which are run to light poles might not be able to cope with the amount of amperage that goes through when charging an #EV. Causing possible fires, etc.
