    I will happily go.EV when it's pretty much as quick to charge at a servo as it is to fill the petrol tank...ie when the next round of battery tech comes in.

    Cheers

    lets say, you have a 100AH battery thats at 0%
    and you want to charge it in 6min.

    your charge rate would be 1000Amps. thats pretty high. might be possible with super capacitors?

    I'm no physicists but I wonder if the traditional laws of charge rates v amp hours will apply to the crop I'm talking about. They might. I just dont know and haven't had the time to look into it. See these for example.

    Future batteries, coming soon: Charge in seconds, last months and power over the air - Pocket-lint

    This one is damned interesting.

    Mind you, to get one big enough to drive a car, we will need totally autonomous vehicles and lots of breweries along the way.

    brings a new meaning to "****-up"

    Same Old Same old , The active constituent of the AdBlue is Urea , It would actually work if you ****ed in the AdBlue tank except they have sensors to make sure you don't.

    We recently did some pricing and could go 6.5 kw of solar plus all the batteries we need for about $18,000. Plug in a $30,000 or so Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi EV with a 250-300 km range and our daily motoring costs would be covered. And the Defender with its 1000 km range would still be in the garage. All good.

    This is hilarious - it's just a tunnel. Built for around the same cost any tunnel of that size and length can be built for. I particularly like this bit - "But Musk’s underground construction arm, known as the Boring Company, has already envisioned a second- and third-generation technology that would simultaneously dig the hole, move the dirt out, and automatically install the reinforced concrete tunnel walls."

    So a TBM as we know them already...

    I just can't figure out 2 things - how this system will work - the graphics show cars being lowered into the tunnel system so a huge bottleneck compared to normal tunnels and secondly - why does the media fall for this guff?

    I'm all for cleaning up traffic in Cities but this means mass transport systems not individual cars/pods/whatever - these will always (until we get FULLY autonomous vehicles) because everyone will still want to go to an exact spot while in a car and this will still cause gridlock no matter what you try and do.

    Musk will soon be overrun by the big car manufacturers who are spending billions globally in EV development. Tesla may just be bought out as a high end arm of someone like VW and Musk will be consigned to a Wiki page.

    Seriously thinking of taking an Ionic for a test drive in the new year too. 400,000 miles in a Tesla Model S in 3 years
