I don't know... how about stopping using gas because it's volatile, expensive, polluting, and makes the world a more dangerous and unstable place?

5. Also the LeapMotor T03 looked really good as well.

I forgot another stipulation: must be able to drive up to 60 or 70 mph, for the option of motorways.
IDGAF about acceleration rate, just top speed.

Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of when I started driving pure EVs, starting with a Nissan Leaf on May 6, 2011 (photo below). Then I had a Tesla from August 25, 2018 to March 13, 2025, and currently a Hyundai Kona Electric (which fits better in my garage, plus it doesn't remind me of Elon). I was initially inspired by the 2006 movie Who Killed the Electric Car.

All with no gas or oil changes! (Also no smog checks when I lived in California.) I will definitely never buy another car with an internal combustion engine (another type of #ICE to avoid).

Do you know how much you save driving an #EV?

Instead of $500 a month in fuel, it would be about $50 by charging from home.

So how much carbon tax is in $500 of fuel? In BC $0.18 per litre. With the cost of fuel at $1.80/l that's $50.

But if you #DriveElectric you will only pay $50 in total!

If you really want to reduce the #CostofLiving switching to #Electric is the way to do it. Not cutting the #Carbontax

I had an interesting chat with the ID.4 controls Wizard. He mentioned several days in software update hell getting car software and controller software to consistent revision levels. #DriveElectric. DLL hell has come to automobiles.

Moby Dick Granny is connected to a tool outlet in the garden. There’s a 20 amp circuit in a bollard for an irrigation pump that I use for the mowing machine and now Moby Dick.

Here at Dismal Manor, there is an outlet on the new porch, and another at the air con compressor. Eventually, I’ll have one added at the front porch.

Moby Dick is in the driveway sipping on Dominion’s finest. On Granny cable, battery charge will complete around 0800.

DW has discovered that the great white whale is much harder to back into the carport than Redfin is. So the white whale gets the weak tea.

Fortunately, a Granny Cable can recharge a BEV to 80% overnight following a day of tedious monotony running errands.

Dismal Thomas renewed the registration of the sultry red thing and bought her a vanity plate, “REDFIN”. When Dismal Thomas first say a gray Model Y, he thought it looked like a bullhead. But the Manor’s sled is red. So Redfish came to mind. This being a hot salt water sport fishery, all the common names were gone. So, I recalled the submarine Redfin and it was free. $60 for 3 years. And I had to pay my EV road use tax. Ouch. #DriveElectric

Car Magazine summarizes Rivian’s coming R2 product sized for the US market and R3 sized for UK and EU.

These are mid-market priced vehicles.

Rivian plans a new Atlanta area assembly plant.

Cory Steuben has moved from Munro to Rivian, probably honchoing the new plant design and vehicle manufacturing design.

@Helchose @chad for energy cost minimization, security and convenience, home charging is the real bonus to #driveelectric

If you have an #EV this could be for you, use my link to sign up to Octopus Electroverse & we both get charging credit!

Rocky looks in on Millennium Falcon after her battery charge completed. DW wandered out to disconnect the Falcon from Space Dock. We charged about 40 % which fits in the 5 hours that night base load rate is offered.

California is swimming in solar electricity on fall afternoons when the sun is strong but air condition is not needed so much in most of the state. California could move fall base load to the afternoon peak in the "Duck Curve" of solar energy availability. #DriveElectric

Drove through the Swiss National Park yesterday on my way to South Tyrol, Italy. The mountain passes and alps had a sprinkling of fresh snow.

Thomas had planned to stop by the Richmond SuperCharger since we couldn't bunker quite enough fuel for the round trip.

But he fat fingered the waypoints and put it at the end! Thomas drove, anxious of a flat can, to Hampton where reached 20 percent. Falcon's Autopilot told us we were bingo to the SuperCharger and gave us the route and called the turns.

Thomas has connected the Falcon to shore power configured to charge to 80% commencing at 0000 Friday. Saturday, a second top off to 80% to finish for 0830 departure. Falcon will be warmed up and ready to roll. The ID.4 was supposed to do these things but only plug and charge now worked. #DriveElectric #TeslaStyle

I didn’t shop the Model Y in 2021 because Tesla never bothered to show the car with the hatch open to tell if Rocky would fit. In 2023 with ID.4 awaiting contactors for an unknown period, I scheduled a test drive after discovering local sales and service here. And I brought along a tape measure. Overhead clearance is good.

Model Y has a sloping arched boot good for Missy. Tight for Rocky. The boot is hinge at the seat back and slops a foot or so at the sill.
