Not to mention wasteful as fck.

That's the circle of life in this country. We can no longer afford a fraction of what we currently spend money on.

Sounds like we need revenue :/

A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
Oppressive, dictatorial control.

Please explain how my quote does not meet this definition.

Edit: “Fascism is when social interests are replaced by those of a private entity.” To clarify, i mean little ‘p’ private.

Yes, which cites historians. So I don't have to spend time writing it myself.

I'll help...

Because fascism is both a form of Govenment and an economic system. Private entities are neither.

More citation from Politicalresearch.org regarding Mussolini's writings on the subject of state control of corporations:

The Labour Charter (Promulgated by the Grand Council ofr Fascism on April 21, 1927)—(published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale, April 3, 1927) [sic] (p. 133)

The Corporate State and its Organization (p. 133)

The corporate State considers that private enterprise in the sphere of production is the most effective and usefu [sic] [typo-should be: useful] instrument in the interest of the nation. In view of the fact that private organisation of production is a function of national concern, the organiser of the enterprise is responsible to the State for the direction given to production.

State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management. (pp. 135-136)

Time to lock up the EV shop and throw the key.

Awesome. Now explain how it works in practice.

Guys lets stick to the subject, take the dictionary discussion to another thread

Sticking with the subject matter of this EV thread, the California rule banning ICE by 2035 and the EV investments buried in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Also, see my post #6227.

And that is just from the charger to the car. There is another 20% from the generation station to the charger in the garage. This is why I say if we were to replace the battery with an on-board tuned ICE generator in a pure serial hybrid drivetrain, the energy efficiency of that EV configuration would be on par with the BEV system that gets its electrical energy off the grid.

EV efficiency with no winter range degradation (free heat from the engine) and still have <5 minute refills (the gas tank will be smaller).

This seemed to fit the one of the current themes.

Started watching some old Harry’s content and ran across this:

A lot of very interesting concepts on how mercedes sees the future of EVs. The fact it has demonstrated a 1k km (620 mi) range is game changing; and even claiming up to 890 mi for highway driving alone. Also cool that ‘bionics’ are filtering down as a proven concept. The inevitable battery waste problems still worry me, though.

If we can get more energy density into batteries which would forestall increased weight then more range would be awesome.

The federal government has regulated that by 2035, all new vehicles sold in Canada must be electric. However they can't even get their shit together. I am running out of words to say

This is a sad story from an EV user.

Maryann Abela, she and her family were travelling in their new Nissan Leaf from London to Lion's Head, Ont., a 253-kilometre distance that should have taken them a little over three hours to drive.

The Leaf's range is 342 km, but given the car wasn't fully charged, they were prepared to stop to charge along the way. Abela planned ahead, googling the locations of fast chargers along the route, never anticipating that none of them would be operational.

"We had no idea [charging] would be that hit-or-miss," said Abela.

After striking out at four rapid-charging locations, she found herself stranded in a seedy motel with her young daughter while her husband slept in their Leaf as it slow-charged in an empty parking lot overnight.

[eugenebmw]

I feel like I am so luck not to have to deal with all the pressure of charging. For me, 5 minutes into the gas station and I am good for another 500km. Gas stations are everywhere and their pumping stations are up 99.99%

Exactly the same over here, the stooges by the river have put the blinkers on and staring straight ahead, 'I see nothing and hear nothing except for what I was told by the men in white coats'.

Audi e-Tron GT's are in trouble and recalls issued for battery sealing fault which may ignite the cars or even make them crash.

That's always been the goal, but at what retail price? And at what charging speed? The downstream EV drivetrain dictates range distance based on its efficiency. Meaning the same amount of electrons move a car the same miles (a few variables like weight factor in). Right now a 300-mile range requires 90+ kWh battery. Roughly double that for 600 miles. The new battery will need 1/2 the weight in the same space factor. Doubling the energy density. And the cost of the EV needs to get under $45K?

And how many amps go through the charger cable? And the current battery/charger technology hasn't yet been paid off.

Just looking at it with some realism.
