I took it to be 7 hours per litre ([biggrin]) at 110 km/h). We all make those slips.Quote:

Have to admit, the concept of a collaboration between Rimac and Bugatti is mouth watering. Give Elon something to think about.
Fast charging batteries, good for more range? A way to go yet, but getting there. From unsealed 4x4;
Unsealed 4X4 | Can fast-charging batteries make EV 4X4s remote-area capable?
The focus has been on improving batteries for EVs, but advances in charging, particularly on-board charging, seem to have great potential. This discussion is interesting.

While I agree OBC are a good idea - if someone came to my place and wanted to plug into my house to change when they dropped over would soon wear out their welcome. I would always help to get them out if a pinch but I wouldn’t want to see this sort of behaviour normalised. I also wouldn’t be too keen on people plugging into a 3 phase outlet at a business if I was paying the power bill either. My mates workshop goes through $1000 a month in power and he’s always ****ing and moaning about it and trying to reduce these costs and I’m pretty sure he’s tell someone to **** off if they wanted to top up from the 32 amp outlet out the front - He’ll probably have to start turning that outlet off if this becomes an expectation.Quote:

This thread is a great example of Google etc assisting narratives.
Not often has a proponent posted a negative showing limitations or drawbacks.
A balanced view is critical and a few here are working along those lines, others are demonstrating cognitive bias.
(Other examples are renewables threads etc)
Please, balance the discussions and posts.
At least acknowledge the challenges etc with the tech.
For example, on board chargers - that’s a fair bit of additional mass to lug around - there goes some range straight away. As posted, who is going to provide a free 32a plug? How will such be metered? And who will pay for the meter?
Rapid charging stations have all of this factored in already.
Some food for thought.
- 80% of the worlds Lithium is in China.
- “Lithium” batteries contain 40 times more Graphite than Lithium, so are really “Graphite Batteries”
- Several other rarer metals are in the make up including Cobalt and Nickel
- Cobalt comes from DRC, Russia, Australia, Cuba, Madagascar, New Caledonia, Phillipines and South Africa
It’s expected all the above minerals will become more valuable than Gold.
