  • Oh absolutely. I was trying to say the charging time is the impressive bit.

    My Volkswagen ID.3 charges at 100kW max (maaybe a bit faster since update 3.2 but I haven’t tried) but that quickly goes down to 60/70kW. I would love for it to go from sub 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. Usually I have to wait 30-40 minutes for that (rough estimate). For me that’s a little bit too long for a quick pee if you’re traveling say 1000km/day.

    Fast charging is what enables longer trips, not necessarily just having a bigger batter. Here in Western Europe there aren’t really any dark spots where you absolutely cannot go by BEV with just an “okay range” anymore, so range is far less important. And for 95% of my use having it be 80% (250-350km) when I leave for daily activities is absolutely fine.




  • This meme is an example of how the superstructure maintains the base.

    It’s ideology misdirecting attention away from class conscientiousness. If we’re angry about a perceived cultural wrong, we’re not paying attention to how wages have stagnated while productivity has soared.

    Maybe Marxism, at least as a diagnostic tool, isn’t such a bad thing after all.














  • I like old cars, but the point is there will be a point at which getting a car that is as uncomplicated as a 1990s Japanese sedan will end. In 20 years time you’d have to deal with all sorts of electric and software issues.

    It used to be that you could just take out the cassette player and insert a Bluetooth radio, for instance. In modern cars everything is integrated software and it sure as hell won’t be maintained by car manufacturers after 10 years at most.
