Think it’s time to make the change to Tidal for my music over Spotify. On a 2 hr drive every song is one I like, Half are new, and not a single repeat of my favourite songs like Spotify likes to do. New music is what I want.

"Spain just made history by proving what many thought impossible — the entire country ran on 100% renewable energy for an entire weekday. Solar, wind & hydropower together carried the nation’s energy needs, with not a single fossil fuel source in use for that day."

Real world example of how long an #EV actually takes to charge, based on the Australian average commute of 32Km, but 100% freeway drive for the commute. how long does it really take?

I’m amazed at how amazed our American work colleagues are that we have access to free electric BBQ in some public parks. Sad part is, they said it was suspicious our councils would install something to be used for free.

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery.
CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank.
Sigh.

A question…. With the new wave of #EV dual motor Utes coming, do we call EV Utes a 4x4. Or AWD? Considering they have no front rear driveshaft, no low range transfers case, they don’t need the low range torque amplification, or do we drop the 4X4/AWD and just go with Dual Motor?

#BMW new iX3 shows why the ‘EVs are worse for emissions’ myth doesn’t hold up.
500‑mile range
Gen6 battery: 50% recycled → 42% lower CO₂
Emissions lower than a petrol car after just 13,360 miles, less on renewables.
Fossil cars need constant drilling, refining, and burning to keep running #ev

why does it look like Runp turning the USA away from renewable and self made energy, so now needs anther source, and therefore needs another war to take others resources.?
The flight cancellations come as the U.S. military has expanded its buildup in the region.
