True but man made emissions are over an above natural emissions - mother earth has shown over millions of years to be able to cope with natural emissions once the planet has settled down but is having trouble with man made stuffQuote:

Too lazy to google but I do recall reading years ago that volcanoes erupting and other gaseous earth leaks are a huge source of emissions and a few days of volcanic activity is equivalent to a few years of man made crap.

According to this site and many others, humans emit 100s of times as much C02 as volcanoes.
Do volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans?
This UN site says:
“It takes only three days for man-kind to equal the entire annual CO2 emissions of all volcanoes on earth,”

Polestar grabbed my attention a few hours ago. It is one of those SPAC merger listings in the US. Not an IPO just a odd marige of a bucket load of cash raised with the hope of a merger with a hopefuly very good idea that is not yet on the share market. Not legal to do in Australia. It was a Volvo baby Then a Volvo - Geely baby not listed describes as "independent" from 2017 onwards
Polestar will trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol PSNY
SPAC is GGPI Gores Guggenheim Inc on Nasdaq
Not in myself but watching
Pricing the Polestar cars looks fairly sharp Not a Disco replacement [bighmmm]

A lot of dumb ****s equate 'smoke' with CO2.Quote:

Dirty steam, with occasional large lumps, also significant amounts of sulphur oxides.
Magma coming from deep in the crust has almost no carbon content, but is likely to pick up carbon bearing rocks on the way up, mainly limestone, but also other carbonates and coal, oil shale, and oil or natural gas which will oxidise to carbon dioxide as soon as they come in contact with the atmosphere.
A 3k drop in Ford Electric engine. Apparently the engine what is in the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT
Ford’s Already Out of $3,900 Electric Crate Motors
EV hot-rodders are adopting the Blue Oval's new offering in a hurry.

Ford’s Already Out of $3,900 Electric Crate Motors
| The DriveThe bad bit is of course "In order to make the crate motor work at all, you'll need to source your own inverter and battery pack, which is no small feat. If and when you're able to find those, you'll at least be happy to know Ford supplies a vent tube assembly, an LV harness and connector, and an HV motor to traction inverter harness." [bighmmm]
Stats for the car. Link
2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and GT Performance Edition: By the Numbers
- Base price: $61,000 ($66,000 GT Performance Edition) (all prices exclude destination fees)
- Powertrain: 88 kWh battery | 1-speed transmission | all-wheel drive
- Horsepower: 480
- Torque: 600 lb-ft | 634 GT Performance Edition
- 0-60: 3.8 seconds | 3.5 GT Performance Edition
- Seating capacity: 5
- Cargo volume: 29.7 cubic feet (59.7 with the second row down) | 4.7 cubic feet front trunk
- EPA range: 270 miles | 260 GT Performance Edition
- Quick take: The Mach-E model we should've gotten from day one.
I don't know why they are calling it a crate motor , Its just a Motor which is pretty useless without its specific inverter. Like buying a short engine in ICE terminology.
As I understand a 'crate motor' comes with inverter & everything you need to programme & make it run .
Fully agree. I would add most of the ford 'crate' motor looks like it a facade. It is useless to me for my hope to move my Disco off ICE. No hope untill I can get the power source which is suitable for my needs. Honestly happy to wait for a fuel Cell option myself. Love my 2 big enough batteries at work yet can see a replacement will have options at their expiry date in a year or several [bighmmm]Quote:

I see the biggest issue of say a D2 conversion would be the need for a hefty GVM increase.
Enough battery to go a good distance would be significant wouldn’t it?
GB:
How heavy are the batteries in the Series? And what’s the overall weight change?
Assuming batteries are heavy might be a today issue I think. My 2*10kWh weight in at 1200kg at work and my mgev is about 250kg 42kWh. A new mg version which goes 500KM, a smidgen under twice the range of mine, is a blade type I think and still is about 250kg.Quote:

Quatumscape (and others) They claim "QuantumScape solid-state lithium-metal cells, at our target of 1,000 Wh/L, would translate to more range in electric vehicles, potentially a 50-80% improvement vs today’s leading electric vehicles, depending on the vehicle design. Thus, for example, a vehicle that gets 200 miles of range could get between 300 and 400 miles of range."
It is a claim of course. Backed by a few billion$$$$$$$$[biggrin]Share price 52 Week High$132.73 52 Week Low$16.64 ( I do not own any anymore They did pay for my EV [thumbsupbig])
It is a race. BYD in China and Korea are moving very very fast as is I assume Japan quietly [biggrin]
I picked up some bikes for xmas today for the kids one of who I bigger than I am at 13 years old the cheeky sod. They are the same as my ride. The new versions is 2.5kg lighter than mine. Mine is 8kg lighter than a bike I had 15 years ago. The gearing will make them about 15% faster. I quick test ride had a flat out top speed rudely proving that. No batteries in the bike. The technology changes in LI, Flow and other battery types is about to follow my push bike being outdated. Not that I am changing it!

Off topic.
The Series battery weight might be a little like the specs in Evolution Australia Series Conversions kit.
"From 23Kwh to 55kwh of batteries which makes for between 120-300km of range"
That would put battery weight both below and above my 250kg I guess
