Good news is a wave of ~300,000 off lease EVs are about to hit the used market, so there might be some good deals to be had.

It is going to cause additional pain to those already tight on finances.

I been fortunate enough to be able to get a large solar array and battery storage system to pair with the EVs to help insulate against direct impacts of energy price shocks. Only good that can come is for more people with the means to start looking for more cost effective options such as heat pumps and fuel efficient cars, EVs, and public transit. Ideally it would garner more support for local renewable power generation, but the reality seems to be that some countries would rather just invade others for their oil resources.

Most domestic dogs have Williams Syndrome so that tracks.

Every vehicle I’ve had with an electric parking brake operated the same way. Hold the park button while moving and it starts clamping the parking brake down, let off the button and it starts to release. So you can basically PWM the parking brake in an emergency.

You are they lucky one today! Here is just the video for all your dishwasher woes!

Unfortunately it only had older still photos and videos, nothing from the last dive. Looks like they had the camera configured to send the data to the onboard computers and those were smashed into a soild mass, of which, no data was able to be recovered from.

That site is something special… Basically lobbying against renewable energy, promoting “the hydraulic fracturing revolution”, and stating how bad an Obama policy was in nearly every article.

Appreciate the link, I didn’t see the website was in a repository. I opened an issue.

Looks interesting but I am curious about their ‘Community Survey’ results, this line in particular:

From this we can see that the majority is currently running on Windows (47 users across the various versions), followed by Linux users across a few different distros (57 users across Mint(9), Ubuntu(13), Fedora (3), Debian(13), FlatPak(5), Mageia(1), Slackware(2), Arch(9), Gentoo (1), PCLinuxOS (1)).

I am not a mathematician or anything, so quite possible I missed something, but wouldn’t the 57 Linux users be the majority?

Who pays if you get myocarditis from COVID?

You can make it work on 120V, it just uses ~20-30% more energy due to the overhead of running all the vehicle systems for so much longer while charging.

Here is a video demonstrating the lidar killing pixels in a phone camera sensor.

They also tried cameras on other vehicles but those were not affected, only the cellphone aimed directly at the lidar suffered damage.

That is very generous of you to offer. Sadly, I am not in the EU, otherwise I would certainly take you up on it.

I’ve started working to source the hardware components and it definitely seems to be tricky to find some items at a reasonable price or at all. You’ll probably see me on the forums soon also trying to verify if I have suitable substitutes.

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been passively following the flow battery tech for a while but had not ran across this project before.

Quite interested to see if I can get the experimental version working to some capacity. Hopefully the chemicals are not too difficult to purchase in small quantities.

This will be another hurdle for electrification of all types as it will make less economic sense for the average home with substantial electricity price increases while fossil fuels prices are kept artificially low. The only silver lining is it might make solar/battery storage more attractive to have less reliance on the high priced grid electricity for those that can afford the upfront investments.

Electric vehicles will be especially hit since you already have fast chargers like GM Energy charging 0.55-0.60c/kWh which ends up being more expensive than driving a ICE vehicle getting 20-25mpg at the current prices.
