4·16 days agoThe European Commission aims to announce the creation of a new category of affordable small electric cars in December in an effort to counter Chinese competition and revive the European market, an EU commissioner said on Tuesday.
The Commission has been working on creating an intermediate category between quadricycles that weigh a few hundred kilograms and all other cars, so that small electric vehicles no longer have to include as much safety equipment and technology as a large saloon car.
At current rates all the lithium required for battery production in China can be obtained by 2040 just from recycling old batteries with other materials followed closely behind.
Many grid operators have specific off peak pricing to encourage people to use electricity at those hours. You could set your electric car to charge at those hours to reduce the price you have to pay for electricity.
In fact certain energy providers have used the V2L capability built into many electric cars to balance the grid. Which in certain scenarios you could even get paid by your grid operator for your services.
Also gird operators already use dedicated batteries to balance the load from renewables so its not like batteries will not be produced.
Hydrogen vehicles for the same performance will require basically the same electric motors as a battery electric car.
You are mistaking rare earth minerals for conflict minerals such as cobalt & nickel etc. Neither are required to build an EV battery. LFP & sodium-ion batteries do not require said materials.
Hydrogen vehicles also require a battery and electric motors.
I don’t understand how much different the “strain on the energy grid” will be from an hydrogen car compared to a battery electric one. Both require electricity either to charge or generate and store hydrogen.
In fact for countries with the huge strain on its grid I.e Ukraine, electric cars are more popular as with vehicle to load functionality (V2L) it can be used to power homes and devices under blackouts.
7·1 month agoAs far as I know there is no electric version of the Volkswagen Jetta
1·1 month agoSeems like Samsung is only competitive in markets without competition from Chinese phones like the US.
In places like Singapore, Samsung have to undercut pretty much everyone else in price.

Each flash-charging stall is equipped with two charging guns and a super-fast discharging energy storage system. It can maintain flash-charging speeds even when two vehicles charge simultaneously, according to BYD.
2·2 months agoI suppose there will be some kind of conservancy charges. Like there are in Singapore
There is a post on reddit.
An adventure of a lifetime, for which we were luckily sponsored, the goal being to demonstrate the viability of the route relying fully on electricity, and the durability of the car.

Its going for USD $340 in Singapore which undercuts the equivalent Xiaomi redmi note and T lineup.
There are BYD T3 vans used in Singapore that are around 5 years old.

It’s a kei car so Japan.
Scoring for the crash test also calculates safety for road users and the drivers assistant systems.

It should be possible to discharge more power with a V2H / V2G charger.
BYD Atto 3 Bidirectional Charging (V2H and V2G) Successfully Trialled
I suppose parallel import vehicles are quite common for Ukraine
BYD net profit margin is at 4% which is greater than many other automakers who are currently experiencing loses.
For BYD the wait time to get a new vehicle delivered in Australia went from three months form three weeks due to the surge in demand caused by fuel prices.
