    Barra certainly used different wording to Farley about the adapters. Farley said free to existing owners, Barra just talked about making them available.

    Demo drive at Maine Mall

    Closest Supercharger is currently Portland, ME about 5 1/2 miles away but there's one under construction 1 1/2 miles away at a hotel in Scarborough. Of course Maine also has no Tesla store or service center, so they'd need to send somebody like a mobile tech to do drive-by charging.

    RFP EM-008-2023: DC Fast Charging Stations – Phase 4

    Medway Supercharger is V2 so in policy terms it doesn't exist. Medway is planned to get a couple of CCS chargers as part of Phase 4 but they don't have to be NEVI standard, only the site has to have enough power to be upgraded to 4 x 150kW+. Millinocket is used as a base for Baxter State...

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    No. It uses a heat pump, which moves heat from outside the car into the car. Net heating would be however much energy the heat pump uses itself. :D $2.1k for electric heaters!? You need to heat the car, not the garage! Better to use the built-in pre-conditioning of the battery off the plug...

    Prediction, in Which Year Will New Electric Vehicle Sales Exceed 50% in the United States "Poll"

    If it's 18 to 35 hours to assemble, that's $18 to $35 per extra $1/hour for labor. But, that's just final assembly. There's labor in the parts manufacturing as well.

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    But at a lower proportion. Superchargers in the USA are expensive, and for drivers of some of the more popular non-Tesla EVs such as the EV6 or IONIQ5, slower, or in the case of all the Bolts, no faster.

    Prediction, in Which Year Will New Electric Vehicle Sales Exceed 50% in the United States "Poll"

    There is a parts content threshold. Some legislators have pushed to increased the tariff on vehicles with a low North American parts content. That would make it harder to rebox it. There would be less concern about Chinese companies _actually_ manufacturing in Mexico.

    Trolley Problem with FSD 12?

    The trolley problem is just a thought exercise in human moral decision-making. The key takeaway from the trolley problem is that humans will often choose inaction rather than make a utility judgment, because action would make them feel more culpable. Trolley problems are irrelevant to AVs...

    CA electricity bills will have new fixed fees based on income

    Your price per kWh isn't necessarily really more. Paying for service, demand and energy separately is how it should be. But policy often favors loading more of the service into the per kWh price in order to encourage efficiency, and the utilities love that because they can earn more by selling...

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    Not to mention that it was CARB's programs that allowed Tesla to have an aggressive strategy. For EVs we can also _easily_ look at China. China had EDIT two a bunch of key policies: - high cost of registration for ICEVs and HEVs, and in some cities PHEVs as well - copied CARB's ZEV program...

    The anti-Tesla EV lovers

    V2H and V2G are _very_ different. I don't see V2G ever being a big thing. V2H makes sense, but there's less value in V2H if you have V2L. V2L is increasingly common. V2G has had people beating the drum for years and we just see pilot programs. The biggest issue I see is that V2G is...

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    Tesla has a lot of stalls, but with limited max power per site so if a site is very busy individual vehicles have limited power. I think that's the cost compromise they made.

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    If Tesla opens up the network to all EVs and it can't be profitable then it either says that EVs can't work without a subsidized network, or that Tesla's network is too expensive. Otherwise, a slowdown in network growth makes sense if overall EV sales growth is also slowing down or drivers of...

    e-Fatigue

    People care more than consumers do. The ultimate solution are products that are cheaper or better value than the status quo so that the consumers buy anyway. For example there's very little light bulb debate now because LEDs don't have the performance issues that CFLs have.
