Can you just give us the TLDE?

Seems pretty straightforward.

This is clearly only the ones that negatively affect them (the bar).

Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don’t see how there can be a problem.

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that “actual numbers” as if mine aren’t, so I’m not going to continue.

But I will point out I’m using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I’m guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.

Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!

Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That’s substantial.

Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that’s €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.

As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There’s just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV’s have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.

EV motors are so simple they’ll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you’ve ever had transmission problems you’d never want another, EVs don’t have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can’t ever get that (on average).

Batteries yeah we’ll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you’ll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.

EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.

Seeing as it’s not in the official song, I think it’s from a bad rip or something.

Uh oh!

Holy fuck. Is that like all their customers?

Now a multi screwdriver is something you can buy.

You had it, then you lost it. It’s for those things you need only once a year or two years or never again.

He said the exact opposite.

How the fuck is it cheaper to software lock than to assemble a smaller battery? Like aren’t the batteries expensive? You just put in fewer cells for a smaller battery.

Analysts are all about “product differentiation”. Everyone was Android, so the way to differentiate themselves was to go with windows.

Do it.

Ultimately, the Rivian owner’s adapter didn’t work, so he decided to leave and head to a nearby EVGo charger. That’s when the Tesla driver confronted him. Trying to “steer the conversation towards a constructive dialogue only seemed to aggravate him further,” so the Rivian driver got in his car and left. “As I drove away, I saw him angrily talking on the phone, presumably to an unfortunate 9-1-1 operator.”

This. People buy hardware and use whatever comes with it.

This is why and how ChromeOS became used. Google didn’t just put it on a website, they got manufacturers to make products with it.
