EV general discussion

Can I just say for the record that having a blocked Hormuz does sound quite painful. [bigwhistle]

Double unfortunately the cars they had persuaded people that they need are less than ideal for electrification. So I don't think they should have been surprised by the failure.

The chinese knew they couldn't compete with legacy auto so went all in on EV's. So now they are coming fast and strong. Succulent Chinese Wheels if you like.

Besides my cheap to service and free to run MG (not so British classic) I love a good Xiao Ling boa or Mapo tofu [thumbsupbig]

Also admire the Chinese 10ish per year Nuclear power stations [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]

Back to EV specificish CFA wanted my autograph on a Document. 40ish each way at 15-16 kwh of power per 100 @ sunshine rates [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle] (new tires and service for the next 40,000 km did cost of course) My Tin Foil hat is on now. I Loved my Disco just not the costs![thumbsupbig]

Easter will be off to Port F for visiting duties and Leg of Western District Lamb will cost about $30 fast charging in one of the several places that exist now. It was a lot harder with the XS ev as almost no chargers that I could pay for existed then.

Burning oil is getting hot! Rootin tooting put## will be grumpy.
