Did a longer drive in our car yesterday. May I ask that you as your mate to look at the energy monitor screen, and click "rated" and since charge? That should show where the power is going.Quote:

If the claims and photos are to be believed, it could be a hybrid battery fire.
Jeep's are a huge scam but suckers seem to fall for that one as well.Quote:

As the fight between anti Nuclear and pro nuclear power Germany and France is an ongoing boxing match the massive amount of Power required for their electrolysis plans may make charging a car in the EU rather expensive!
How much Hydrogen is existing use?
On Jeeps. My one drive of a super duper unable to get over a small grass lump still makes me laugh every time I drive past that spot[biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]
On EVs a Massive spike followed by a massive fall was all to do with hand outs given then taken away :)

EDIT some of my nuclear miners use ISR ( In Situ Recovery some times called In-situ leaching (ISL))
A rumor has it that tech is about to start in some other mining sectors including one or two list. Thats is not really just a rumor :)
ISR mining is MUCH cheaper than huge conventional open pit mines. I doesn't work everywhere as it requires a certain geology.
Edit 2 Giant Lithium miner blocked from buying an Australian asset by a person here
other share holders my not be as happy with knocking back a 100% gain from the rejected offer!

Can that crew take the Vic gov to High court re Doctors, Dentists, Physios....... and Payroll tax next?
So it looks only the Feds can levy a user tax like that?Quote:

I didn't mind paying Chris. The roads here are shocking. A HUGE pothole nearby is close to ripping the front end out of small and medium tire sized transport!Quote:

It’s just the range anxiety that’s of concern to him as time goes on.
I’m assuming a lot of it is environmental- we get seriously strong head winds for the run down the gulf each day, in an ICE vehicle it’s an easy 10-15% increase in fuel burn for that leg. Easily offset by a top up if required at PtAA. Not so easy in EVs at the moment.
We are definitely at the edge of EV range (currently) from Adelaide though.
FUD? Really?
Some would say the edge of nowhere. [emoji56].Quote:
