From @hannahritchie.substack.com "My overall takeaway is pretty consistent with the reports above: in many cases (but not all) second-hand #electric cars are now cheaper upfront than #petrol [#ICE] equivalents. At the very least, I think it’s fair to say that they're cost-competitive. I think public perception is probably the opposite: there is still a dominant narrative that electric cars are much more expensive. "

As a renter I’ve done all I can but I still have gas hot water in my community housing unit & it’s 14yrs old. Who knows how much longer it will last & I worry that if it dies they’ll install another gas system rather than make the change

I removed an electrical part for cleaning.
A wire sparked and later I noticed my battery monitor was dark. It stayed that way after I cleaned and reconnected the part.
I traced the wire from the back of the monitor in the control panel, through the bulkhead to the engine compartment, and into an electric box. And there it was: a blown fuse.
Fuse replaced (2 for £1.09). Battery monitor works. It says: 14.40.

How does a wasteful heat pump powered by fossil-fuel electricity help in decarbonizing buildings while extreme carbonizing rural areas where powerplants are?
It doesn't, it is just another fad by electric industries and oil/coal companies to advance their sales of electric crap with none or negative impact to the atmosphere.
Pretend you are an environmentalist while you reproduce oil/coal/elec industrial marketing.

I want to get an EV charger installed at home. Any recommendations on a decent product?
Local installer has Hypervolt, Andersen, Podpoint and myeneri listed amongst others.

@tk Yes.
A 3-wheeled cabin scooter so people get the advantage of a #car (staying dry in the rain and warm in the snow) with the advantages of a #motorcycle (excellent fuel range and economy)...
So yeah I'm confident something in the price range of €5k - €10k in the class L2e [ max. 4kW/50cm³/45km/h ] can be built that doesn't require wearing a helmet and isn't totally jank.
Sitting here in a lineup on #bchwy4 for some road work.
Our 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric just passed 200,000km this week! I got a snap of the odometer at palindrome 199991 which was satisfying. But a sudden snow storm/hail storm prevented me from capturing 200k and 200002 officially, but that's ok.
I just made its *first* appointment to have its brake pads replaced. Amazing longevity on these EVs for brakes. I really should have done it about 10k ago but still.
Great car. Age is starting to catch up a bit.
It needs the EV battery coolant flushed/replaced this year, and some small stuff is wearing:
The passenger side seat heater is on the fritz, and one of the door lock mechanisms is extra loud.
But all things considered, for the amount of kilometres in the past 5 years (really more like 3 due to pandemic), and the addition of the utility trailer, it's doing great! #EV #Kona #Hyundai #Electric #carlife
Roon rolled into this Joe Bonamassa live show recorded at the Vienna Opera House. Digital mixers make it easy to capture the stage tracks for post show remix and mastering. The guys on the boards got a good take. Gorgeous recording of an energetic live show yet with studio nuance. #electric #blues #liveshow #recording #now playing
