I am and never have been opposed to paying My Fair Share of vehicle/road tax. However, under the current situation, I feel the urge to resist any such efforts. For a hundred years fossil fuel companies have benefited from federal subsidies. Not to mention the avoided costs of their products. All...
“From its incredible towing power to its sustainable energy source,”
“sustainable energy source“? Nice work there. Yep, folks will somehow believe this. Like hydrogen is a renewable energy source. Is this another demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect ?
I am wondering if they are making this structure “PV Ready”. That is, are roof loading, electrical infrastructure, etc. being taken into consideration for this taking place in the future.
Ahoy Codogman. You hit it bud. I do not know the exact figures but AI and bitcoin mining consume a s—t load of energy. To produce what?
I was in the PV/energy industry for twenty plus years and when I would suggest to a perspective customer that they have an energy audit done prior to making...
Yeah, this sent up the red flags for me. So I went to the interweb to get to the “bottom “ of this.. I could not find a hard statistic on percentage of plastic from crude, mainly because plastics are not derived directly from crude. Or something like that. But from what I found, the percentage...
This is interesting As I was wondering what the chemistry of this battery is. Why AGM/lead acid ilo lithium ion? It has been awhile since I have worked with AGM batteries but isn’t a 100% SOC for these batteries ~13.2-13.6 VDC? Also, it is best that this type of battery has a charging cycle that...
Thank you for making this point Allinev. And they have been subsidized for for~100 years. And this does not include the ”indirect” subsidies (I forget the exact term) or avoided costs for things like health related issues. If you mention this to most folks who are not avoiding fossil fuels...
Apology accepted Dude ;) . I think that we can all agree that towing with anEV is currently not the “optimal “ method. However, given improvements in battery and possibly other components, this will improve incrementally.
I have a 2023 R1T Quad with factory 21” Pirelli. With about 14k miles, about 3k of which is towing a small trailer, I am averaging 2.54 kWh/mile. Northern Illinois.
