DC Fast Charging Off-Grid With Hydrogen! GM Hydrotec Powercube
Kyle is in Michigan charging up some Chevy Silverado EVs during the media launch event of the truck. Rather than charging off of a propane or diesel mobile generator, the trucks are all being powered by a GM Hydrotec MPGS 60kW DC Fast Charger. We talk to Michael Bearman about his hydrogen DC Fa...
First, place the bread dough on a cutting board and stretch it with a rolling pin...🍞🥐
Have a good time, awake and asleep people!! 😊 #gm#cats#thursday#moustachecat
Do not try to solve the trolley problem—that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: There is no trolley. General Motors bought them all up and had them dumped in the ocean.
Schönen guten Morgen wünsche ich dir

Gestern war mal wieder #Luxus beim Mähen mit der #Sense angesagt.
In der frischen kühlen Luft am Morgen in der Nähe oder unter dem herrlich duftenden #Walnussbaum. 😍
Beim Wechsel vom Schatten in die Sonne die wärmenden Strahlen spüren.
Die Ermüdungsbrüche vom #Rechen müssen bandagiert werden.
Early morning #mealprep , got the rice cooker going, and walking the dogs in the meantime. Long day ahead, so hoping to have a fulfilling breakfast and pack a decently sized lunch, I won’t be home until roughly 10pm :blobcat_hungry:
Definitely going to make myself a double espresso #icedlatte :blobfoxcomfysip:
Listening to some #lofi to keep me sane :drgn_music:
"Currently more than 60% of the world’s commercial seeds are sold by just four companies, which have led the push to patent seeds, orchestrated a global monopoly of certain GM crops such as cotton and soya and sued hundreds of small-scale farmers for saving seeds from commercial crops."
I ordered two books last night. One is "Red Lights on the Prairies" about the history of prostitution in prairie cities.
My mother-in-law was talking about the book last night and telling us about a madam in Calgary in the 1930s, named Pearl Miller. She says soldiers used to say "forget Pearl Harbour, remember Pearl Miller."
In 1975, #Vauxhall launched its own car based on the Kadett C/#GM T Platform, the Chevette, which oddly borrowed its name from its #Chevrolet sister car. It was launched initially as a two-door hatch, and used a Vauxhall rather than an #Opel engine. Eventually saloons and estates arrived too. The characteristic Vauxhall ‘droop snoot’ was a further distinguishing feature. Opel’s equivalent to the Chevette hatch was the Kadett City.

Good work Mercedes, you’ve got my first Ledge of Fury™️ news item for next week. Probably best I’m not recording today as I’d spend many hours removing my swearing.
My disgust at the motoring industry has risen back up again.
@CrackedWindscreen Honestly, why #Ford has not forced something like #FSDBeta out and why #GM is not pushing their “Ultra Cruise” product on their new, imminent EV models is really quite incredible in the face of all of this.
Interesting moves in the #ElectricVehicle changing space lately (in the US and in Canada).
It sure would have been nice for the US to mandate some open #EV charging standard years ago, but it seems that everyone is coalescing around #Tesla's so-called NCAS "standard".
Right now, it seems to me that NCAS is not actually a standard, but rather, an open specification.
Hopefully, this gets on an independent standards track.
To build on my Toot above, and granted again, I am not well-acquainted with #GM's thinking here, but this seems like a mistake if it impacts the aforementioned GM-Pilot-EVGo project.
It is unclear from the GM Press Release above what the cost obligations were between all three players.
So a $400 million cut from a previously announced $750 million figure... but it is unclear what that $750 million consisted of in terms of projects.
Frankly, and I know #GM had an ongoing "community charging" project like this already, I think the focus should be on aggressively expanding at-destination charging access - at hotels, at restaurants, at rest stops, in parking garages, etcetera.
That would lower fast charger demand considerably in my view.
Then again, we should be aggressively moving away from our outsized #car dependency in the US anyways... but that is a whole other story.
