Looks like we have reached that point in the evolution of a thread on EVs where we need to think of the children and abortion is being discussed. Is this the end?

Revealed: Two electric buses caught fire in garage blaze two years before today's double decker blast - sparking fears Sadiq Khan's 1,000-strong fleet is at risk amid push to make all of London's buses 'zero-emission' by 2034
11 January 2024 | Updated: 06:55 EST, 12 January 2024 Fears are growing that the London Mayor's 1,000-strong fleet of electric buses could also be at risk after a huge blast ripped off the back of an Optare Metrodecker 1050 bus in Wimbledon this morning. MailOnline can today reveal how all Metrodecker 1050s were temporarily taken out of service for safety checks in spring 2022 after two were involved in a fire at Potters Bar bus garage in Hertfordshire. Two Optare Metrodecker 1050 London electric buses were involved in a major fire at Potters Bar bus garage in Hertfordshire on May 22, 2022 (above) - which destroyed a total of six buses https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...adiq-Khan.html Woolwich bus fire: Second London bus fire just one day after critical incident in Wimbledon A London Fire Brigade spokesperson told the Daily Mail: "We were called at 6.49am to reports of a bus on fire on Factory Road in North Woolwich.

Lithium Americas: Beware Chronic Lithium Glut And Thacker Pass Project Uncertainty
Jan. 15, 2024 Lithium prices have collapsed by 85% from their peak due to a glut in the market, which seems to be a chronic issue. Historically, an electric vehicle battery might cost $10K to $20K, accounting for a considerable portion of the overall vehicle price. That said, the cost of lithium batteries has collapsed in recent years as lithium supply has risen extremely rapidly. Lithium production has risen faster than demand, creating a glut that has recently caused many miners to avoid the sector. With current technology, 22 million tons of lithium should be enough to produce 2.8 billion EVs, twice as many as the 1.4 billion cars on the road today. https://seekingalpha.com/article/466...ct-uncertainty Over supply or under demand? |

I was just over at the EV forum I hang out at. There is a thread about a dude who lives is Pennsylvania and yesterday he and his wife took a trip in his EV to visit Friends and to go out to dinner. The the distance was 198 miles round trip. His EV's range estimator said the car had 230 miles of charge. He drove it 300 feet and the range dropped from 230 to 190. Short story is he had to charge mid trip and drove back home with just the seat heater on for his wife. I just don't get this. Really. Buy a $50,000 car that you can't use the heat in the winter and have your wife freeze her ass off? My reply to the thread was he should have used ICE for the trip. Ironic isn't it? |

In a sane world his post would have been followed by "Slightly Used EV for Sale" But it's not been a sane world for a long time now.

The wltp(23 degree celsius) and epa (degree celsius) ranges are tested at those temperatures.This is misleading. By default there should be information about range at any temperature explained to the buyer before sale.

The manufacturers selectively hide the information is not new, and they are just as complicit in the pain of the consumer, but consumers are also responsible for learning themselves and whether it fits their use case, its not a $3.99 bag of chips here..

People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts, neglecting children, destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult. Keith Henson |

This is the problem with EV, the Government is so invested in it, it's Agency that is supposed to inform the consumer purposefully does not provide critical battery efficiency/range information. This is a significant disservice that we as taxpayers should be getting from our government. There is not one iota of consumer protection information about ICE that is not provided on the Maroney window sticker. IMO it is literally falsifying information provided to the Public. People can die from lack of winter range data by running out of electricity on a winter night in sub-freezing temperatures.
