  1. Automotive U-turn ‘drastically bad political choice’: parliament’s energy expert

    The European Commission’s decision to soften car emissions regulation has pleased nobody and endangered everyone, Thomas Pellerin-Carlin, a…

  2. I have a question about traveling in privacy with an electric car.

    If I'm using a car with a gasoline engine and I want to travel without being surveilled, I pay cash for fuel (among many other measures).

    It occurs to me that I can't charge my electric car in public without a credit card. This means that the government could theoretically track me, or even stop me from recharging completely (by invalidating the credit card).

    Have others thought about solutions to this?

  3. Up a notch
    In a segment where brands try to signal modernity, Kia takes things a step further with its postmodern EV4. Forget the traditional three-box saloon—the future has arrived, says @jackyan in his road test.

  4. Just had a home charger installed for my first EV, and the first impression is not good.

    The ChargePoint Home Flex charger has no buttons or switches or controls of any kind on its exterior. You configure it with a smartphone app, which insists that you set up an account. These are the anti-features that would have killed the sale if I had known them in advance.

    A generous part of the blame for Hyundai, which sold me the package online.

  5. Over 150,000 new EVs expected on Thai roads this year amid energy crisis

    BANGKOK, Thailand – Approximately 153,000 new electric vehicles are projected to hit Thailand’s roads this year, driven largely by the ongoing energy crisis triggered by the prolonged conflict in the Middle East, according to a forecast by TMBThanachart Bank’s…

  6. At least one Tour de France team (Uno-X Mobility) using EVs for their race vehicles: 👍️

    The SBS commentator (David McKenzie) being surprised that an electric car can go far enough to make it through the day (maybe 200 km of driving): 🙄

  7. Finally a car for ordinary people.

    I have been waiting for something like this for a long time.

    Instead of useless trucks or speed cars, this can be used by ordinary people and actually make a difference in extremely polluted cities like Mexico City or Tehran.

    Imagine if most taxis in a 10M inhabitant city were electric, it would really make a huge difference in the quality of air and the economy of the city.

    And for that price, it is going to be a real game changer (i am sure the actual price will be twice the one mentioned in the article).

  8. I saw the nicest, most practical everyday use EV in Antibes today.

    It is like a new version of the old Volvo 745 made by BYD
    Finally a car that is not just an ego boost and actually good for people who want to use a car for transport.

  9. In its own space
    The Zhiji LS6 has made it to New Zealand, as the IM Motors IM6 presented by MG Motor. Just how will an EV from a premium sub-brand, with SAIC’s highest-tech offerings, fare when it is a category of its own? Jack Yan looks at the IM6 Performance

  10. This is an ev I would buy.

    It's perfect for small house in the woods, to be able to travel and transport goods easily and safely.

    This is quiet amazing. I wish we could have access to it here in France

  11. https://carbuzz.com/highways-funding-electric-vehicle-fees/

    Honestly that's less than MO already charges me for the privilege of driving an electric vehicle, plus going electric means I'm getting over on the IRS at tax time, so I'm not majorly worried about this. That said, I do wish they'd go with a mileage based system, at least here in MO we more or less have a system in place for that.

  12. Sometimes people tell us to "get a job" as if it's that simple.

    There are multitudinous good reasons why we:
    1. Consider our work for Vulpine Labs and the local community more important than any run of the mill "job".
    2. Cannot seriously be expected to attain traditional employment.
    3. Shun traditional models of pay in favour of Mutual Aid.

    And we won't let capitalism grind us down.

    Today, Atha:
    Reset the mouse traps in the bus
    Cleared snow off the bus and car (altitude does not care for your "seasons", mere mortals)
    Got a new phone from a good friend
    Set up an LELink LeafSpy OBD2 device to help diagnose and fix the car
    Did some reading at the library to get back in the mood for learning Python

    And Inara:
    Did trans HRT injections
    Did some cleaning and tidying
    Took the car to do a slow charge session
    Did some phone setup
    Will likely cook food for us and a homeless friend, and do some VR.

    If you want to fling us some currency to keep the mardy old system at bay and fill up the bus's thirsty diesel tank, feel free to send to

  13. Someone finally built the car that charges itself.

    Just talked to Robert Hoevers, CEO of Squad Mobility, about their solar-powered city car. Panel on the roof. Battery underneath. Park it in the sun, drive it around town—it just keeps charging.

    Live somewhere sunny? You literally never plug in. The average person drives 12km a day for errands. This does 150km max range. The math works.

    5,300 pre-orders. €1.5M in European funding. Production starts next year.
    Street legal. Crash tested.
    Robert put it simply: "It's like a second car."

    Exactly. Not for highway commutes but perfect for the grocery run, city trip, the school drop-off and all those short trips where driving a massive polluting vehicle makes zero sense.

    Sometimes the obvious solution just needed someone to build it.

  14. The #Vulpibus folks are now just past the halfway point of their journey, which is only possible thanks to your #fedihelp #mutualaid!

    But to get all the way there #gtfomystate, hundreds of dollars are still needed for the cost of fuel and food in this capitalist nightmare, and a few hundred more for preventing their car from being towed away for non payment of loans and insurance.

    Let's call the goal $1000 over this next few days. This will help with a couple of maintenance things too hopefully.

    Progress was made this last few days on the #electrical breaker box, on sewing of a lovely cloak for Inara, and on the gene editing system ( gitlab.vulpinedesigns.com and be sure to familiarise yourself with Qt Creator if you want to see the concepts being laid out first paw).

    You are all amazing people living in this same messed up world as us. You know what you can and cannot manage to do. Be strong. Be loved. Receive the tolerance you give.

    #Freestuff along the route always appreciated and considered.

    One thing currently on the to get list is a clothes washing machine, preferably front load as a single or small unit sized combo machine with tumble dryer.

    Another is a countertop sized dishwasher.

    And a three quarters height, narrow width fridge-freezer.

    If you have any of these spare in IA, NE or CO in working or easy-repair condition, please let us know.

    When the bus reaches its destination, a commune is to be established with its own off grid systems and food growing. The lab is to be expanded. We intend to help people escape and learn and transform into what they truly want to be.

    When I say we, I mean a broad loose-knit network of agents across the world who are a decentralised, unstoppable force for good. The Vulpibus is a catalyst and a tool, the people know how to use it.

    Atha is to me a being with great potential focussing on survival when hir real impact should be felt from hir work on gene editing tools for freedom of form.

    I fight for hir and everyone to get a fair chance at making that happen. I fight with nice words, sharp words and blunt words, and if needed I will fight with weapons.

    A good Nazi is one remembered in history as the discarded husk of our disgraceful mistakes gone by, long since eroded to dust. That starts not just with brute force, but by confounding their efforts in sheer fucking spite.

    Join with us now to do just that.
