Not a Splitter!, but Tallahassee - Thomasville Rd, FL opened, replacing V2 Tallahassee, FL. On I-10 this V3 splits 83.4 miles, 61.3 miles from Marianna, FL and 23 miles to Lamont, FL

Don't worry. The NHTSA isn't a nanny. I wish all government was as utilitarian as the NHTSA.

Norway was going well with generous incentives, but what gave the biggest boost was the introduction of more affordable long-range BEVs. Part of the overall fast ramp of 2020 may have been that the regulatory change date became the release target for new models.

3-row SUV/CUV is over 10% of the US market. But I suspect it's a lot less of other markets. However, 3-row is a target of a lot of companies and it's a tougher challenge for EV at a time when the relatively high cost is a threat. Companies were fleeing sedans when Tesla released the Model 3...

No, it's just v3.5 chargers. I think new V3 installations have the V3 pedestal centered so they can be swapped out with V4 pedestals later.

The photo with the dumpster shows a big bucket on a power pole, so they might use a group of 3 pole-mounted transformers. That's occasionally been used elsewhere.

1) Market size: lower cost means lower prices, making it more than a cheaper taxi. A _lot_ more revenue is available if you can replace private ownership and rental. 2) Profit: lower cost, more profit 3) Competitiveness: a) Lower cost means lower prices allowing better competition in markets...

The biggest no is amongst people with low incomes. That's the most telling problem, and one that has always needed to be solved (directly and indirectly) by the cost of EVs falling.

Probably has their own adapter. (Magic Dock allows any CCS car to use a Supercharger, but Ford and some other owners now have their own adapters so can use any V3 that has NACS charging (Tesla plug, CCS communication) enabled.) The issue of cable reach is part of the reason Tesla removed the...

Have you mentioned this to your wife? I can imagine that many women would laugh at your "struggle". Yes, an X should be less likely to force you to go arse first. It's all about not hitting your head. Arse first allows you to lower your head position more easily and that's more important in...

I meant that when _not_ using a heat pump, you use efficient heat exchange (air conditioning) for cooling, and combustion of fuel for heating. So venting out the hot air just seems wasteful for those of us who live in cold climates. I guess it's the humidity of the air that's the issue. Maybe...

For reference: https://www.ferc.gov/staff-reports-and-papers Select "Energy Infrastructure" Open the document Search for "New Generation In-Service" and it shows a table by generation source. The page after that has the new total generation capacity. February was 1,043MW solar, 200MW wind...

It changes lanes for the same reason humans do: to get there faster. If you don't want it to behave like That Guy change the assertiveness mode.

Well, the heat still has to go somewhere, but you're using generating less of it. I have a regular electric dryer and it's vented. I've always thought that odd in a place that needs net heating when cooling is cheaper than heating.

V3s are cheaper. They're also better for Teslas with thinner, lighter cables. They have been adjusting V3s and building V3s with V4 stall replacement in mind though.

Note: I have a Kona EV, not a Tesla, so I'm not in the poll. Typical weeks are 3 times in winter, 2 times not in winter, but there are longer trip days where I plug in before and after. I think that makes it about 3 per week on average. In essence, we just can't be arsed to plug in every day...

Transformer?

50-75 miles isn't necessarily enough for areas with outages. You need Superchargers where people go regularly.

No guarantees at all. However, Tesla does seem to get a rush before major holidays like Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. After the major construction appears to be complete there several sources of delay before sites become operational. (1) Transformer: This seems to be the biggest...

Thanks. :) I've now removed that gap from my list. (It was on my original V3 Gap list made before I realized that that stretch was an I-64/I-81 concurrency. and I'd missed that Raphine and at least one other was on I-64 as well.) Yup, thanks. :) Copy-paste-forget-to-edit error. :)

OK, besides having not updated to Boise V3 I had missed the odd larger gap. I went through the Interstates and here's an updated list of V3 Gaps. There are 75 such gaps remaining. Nice semi-round number. Notes: (1) A V3 Gap is defined here as a distance between open V3+ Superchargers of 100...

That's the reason it shouldn't amaze you. Or maybe I missed the sarcasm. It needs: (1) Negative (2) Of interest (3) Believed As long as people are interested, to get rid of the stories, you have to get to the point where too few believe it and start to ignore it. That's a tough nut to crack...

Well, Pratt, KS is actually on US-54, but it's concurrent with US-54 there. Here are the NEVI locations as green Custom Locations on Supercharge.info There are more to come, but still focused on other highways. At the government site for it, Charge Up Kansas...

Anecdotal: a friend bought a PHEV and asked me about wireless charging. However, that might have been because the charge port is on the wrong side and they find it annoying having to walk around the vehicle just to plug in and unplug. But wireless charging certainly has greater potential...

No, it isn't eventually the same thing. You want to track capacity factors. You can have more capacity and more consumption and still be on a downtrend. The statement "production and consumption at record high" ignores that we've had annual records interrupted only by recession and pandemics...

No. Virginia's Phase 1-A Proposed Awards didn't include Tesla. (I don't know if Tesla bothered to bid given their existing presence). https://publicinput.com/VirginiaNEVI#tab-40963

I get you need V >= Dv/(D-4v-L) Where V is passing speed in fps, v is passed vehicle speed D is passing distance, L is passed vehicle length and it's 4v allowing 2 second gap behind and in front. Also, I'm ignoring acceleration to passing speed. So, if a 75ft tractor trailer is traveling at...

AV would make pooling _way_ better and it'd be necessary for good economics because you can't have it be cheap and have a fleet size based on current peak traffic. Also, with cheap AV you could pretty much guarantee a lot of employers signing deals with AV companies and offering free rideshare...

Countries aren't banning ICEVs. States aren't banning ICEVs. And AVs could easily be PHEVs. Don't need BEV.

They should have been doing heavy advertising ahead of the eclipse. (L3. Wouldn't have helped me, I was in traffic on regular roads).

No change from above. (Well, apart from the snow being gone.)

Yes, once Kalispell, MT is open the largest gap will be 968.9 miles on US-160 from Trinidad, CO to the end near Poplar Bluff, MO. As you can see below it _just_ misses Springfield, MO (11.2 miles diversion) and will just miss Branson, MO (12 miles). It's a very rural route so I wouldn't...

Again it is the price of a subscription, not purchase price. Subscriptions weren't available until over a year after that tweet,

That's the price of a month's subscription, not the purchase price.

I guess it _could_ be in the business park on the NW corner or in the vacant space on the NE corner. There are crosswalks at the intersection that would allow people to get to various amenities, and in particular a sidewalk could be used to get to an Exxon gas station.

Maybe they had a holster problem.

Waymo uses HD mapping but it's not an inherent dependency. It gives confidence. The better the sensor-based model becomes the less benefit there is to the HD mapping. HD mapping is a cost burden, so naturally you'd want to get away from that and navigate likes humans with simple maps, sensors...

I wouldn't say best for all the people all of the time, but best utility for pure refueling stops. My wife is already sick of Sheetz gas stations from a single trip to Pittsburgh in our Kona, having charged 5 times total at 3 of them. :P

That's why we should use the hkW unit instead. Then people would write about hourkilos and hks and it'd be wrong but not confusing.

As I understand things it's anti-AA: your car is the member, not you. So if you have a Tesla and a Not A Tesla, you have to get membership to get lower pricing for your Not A Tesla. I think the messaging is unclear.

Well, that'll give people something to look at while they charge.

V4 stalls. V3 cabinets. Seems to be a move over to V4 stalls now.
