i LOVE this new #Ev concept from "Stand out in a sea of sameness", but like the Cybertruck i guess, but knowing Mercedes, i know it will never be made. sad face

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

Our local provider at the time of install was essential energy. They would allow max 5kw of inverters to export. We have 20kw of inverters ao were ineligible to export or we pay negative prices during the day. So we opted to just not have a grid export connection

We have a small dam that when time and $$ allow we want to make into a natural pool creek setup. So sort of a mini hydro system. At moment the solar makes just enough to keep everything happy. Battery drains to about 80% overnight so doesn’t take long in the morning to top up.

Most car owners don't think too much about the sort of tyres they use, but EV drivers have several reasons to care - noise, grip, weight handling and range.

yep, not at moment, waiting on new energy provider to swap us to new plan, and we also need electrician to activate the grid connection. we were intially only grid connected as a last resort backup, as feed in tarrif was not worth it, and in many cases would be paying to export.

happy with our Nuclear fusion radiation chart today. 880w/m2, sadly the batteries are full by 9 am, the cars are full, and the tool and machine batteries. so much of this free energy is wasted. (no feed in) and some will argue #solar cant provide enough.....

same coin. why we keep voting for it, then whinging is beyond me

Sydney EV @sydneyev.bsky.social · 1d

i am Assuming Australia's are for more #fusion energy means #solar right? we have shedloads of that! and with an inexhaustible supply. makes sense.

The two great technology revolutions of the modern era — artificial intelligence and renewable energy — are colliding.

most trucking is logging trucks going into town, and the trucks heading out with finished timber products. other than that, most is local and tourist traffic

New Chinese car brand alert 🚨 GAC arrives in November with 3 models:
⚡ Aion V EV, 485 Km range.
It’s got 180kW of power and 240Nm of torque. That’s a lot of numbers
and
a petrol something...
a PHEV something...

so, i guess we are going to need a bigger driveway?

Sydney EV @sydneyev.bsky.social · 1d

i wonder what the costs would be to reactivate, upgrade that line to take good from the mills, compared to the endless road maintenance and other non directs costs?

There are just some things an ICE (internal combustion engine) car can do far better than any #EV on the market...

catch fire.

i find ice is great in your emotional support beers.

Australia is poorer by choice. we have massive wealth available to all in our natural resources, and we have literally given it all away for free.

They do. But most are permanently sealed and non service items. No exhaust gas byproduct to pollute it either.

Sydney EV @sydneyev.bsky.social · 1d

Really. Good to see they exist somewhere.

Sydney EV @sydneyev.bsky.social · 1d

Or take a little bit of effort.

Sydney EV @sydneyev.bsky.social · 1d

Their hand would still be covered in oil and diesel soot.

Every day, and night, there is a conga line of trucks leaving Oberon with timber products headed to Sydney... destroying roads, costing the community in maintenance, and health impacts,
meanwhile, there is a rail link directly from the timber mills to Sydney. abandoned, unused. why #auspol?
