this guy could have locked out people from his charger thru the app

Thanks for providing some useful and intelligent information along with real figures instead of over hyped news. Now here's my input due to extensive EV use and experience over the last 5 years. I'm a technology enthusiast and was an early adopter of EV before I even know what they were or...

I did just this. I use the Ranger for truck stuff around my property. didnt want to put 30k miles every year just driving it to work. Bought an EV for super cheap driving to work. The electric company in KC has free charging stalls installed at every business in the business park I work and all...

Writeup on kwh usage for f150 for reference https://www.evpulse.com/features/lightning-tow-and-charge F150 Lightning 131kwh battery Empty - 300 miles = 2.4kwh/mile Towing - 180 miles = 1.4kwh/mile Using those numbers above I'd estimate this Ram 168kwh battery Empty - 400 miles...

Absolutely. For EV Car efficiency I'm basing the energy usage on a newer Tesla model 3 long range which gets around .3kwh/mile 30 miles * .3 kwh/mile(high efficiency EV) = 9kw (PG&E rate reference above)$0.32549/kwh * 9kw = $2.92 For EV Truck Efficiency I'm basing this on information from...

Alright here's some numbers 30 miles average daily drive divided by 15mpg(very low efficiency) and 26mpg(highest efficiency ) 30 miles / 15mpg = 2.00 gallons 30 miles / 26mpg = 1.15 gallons 1.15 gallons * 4.846(Average cost gas today in CA) - $5.57 for 30 miles 2 gallons * 4.846 - $9.69 for...

The average american drives around 30 miles a day. My Estimate base on PG&E Rates Lowest rate with high efficiency EV EV Car - $2.50 for 30 miles High rate with low efficiency EV EV Truck - $10 for 30 miles

What do you think it would cost to charge an EV with these rates?

Damn EV's Ford Loses Record $12.7 Billion in ’06 https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/25/business/25cnd-ford.html

I've ordered 2 vehicle from my cell phone in under 5 minutes each. It's so simple and I know I'm paying same price every other person is paying. No hassling, no hoping they will do me a favor. just a simple retail transaction. I see no reason for a dealer. They are just another added expense to...

some of the newer ebike's look like a regular bike.

I agree the drivers need to be held accountable and ensured they are using the systems properly. What I'm tired of is seeing everyone driving with their damn phone in their face while operating a 3000lb + motor vehicle at 70+ miles per hour only a few feet from me. This specific system has...

I've made a 1000 mile trip from KC to PA a few times in my life. always in a beat up old ranger. the last time I went we took a vehicle with one of the best autonomous driving systems. for nearly 800 of the 1000 miles the self driving system was turned on and maintaining full control of the...

I agree a fully autonomous loaded semi is a potential hazard. We are many years from fully autonomous. but there is some amazing driver assist systems that I believe long distance truckers could use to reduce the strain or impact of driving long hours. The systems in operation today are driver...

they polled 1140 people. that's nowhere near a good sample size. What is so scary about semi-autonomous and future self driving vehicles?

this would be fun

I find it especially ironic it's in Texas. We have capacity, we just need to spread the load and charge at times when we have excess electricity aka overnight We can't charge all EV's at once - is a true statement We can't fuel up all gas car at once - is also a true statement

There is excess wind production in texas at night. New subscription service coming in July for $30/month allows unlimited night time charging at home. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-unlimited-overnight-home-charging-customers-texas-wind-investor-day-2023-3
