My EVs should last forever.

I'd just charge vehicles where total load can be over 26,000 lbs (i.e. needs a CDL) a proportion based on weight and driven miles enough to pay for the roads and be done with it. That's a vastly smaller and so much more easily managed number than billing everyone. That expense "trickles down"...

I support this rumor.

Yeah, whenever I go to the dentist for a cleaning I always refuse the "during the cleaning I casually glanced at your teeth and noticed you have a cavity likely to turn into a raging jawbone infection but I can fix it now" offer, because, hey, I'm just there for a cleaning - none of this...

The inflammatory video title?

Nice - it comes with NACS and the AT's only cost about 10 miles range.

This description shows to me the value of the partnership because if the utility company is able to plan its power demands, and it seems WeaveGrid is aiding in that, then they can save a lot of money. I worked for a while (as a contractor in cybersecurity) for General Electric Power Systems...

I'm struggling to understand what Federal law allows the Administration to mandate that a product be offered in any given state. My understanding is California has operated under an EPA waiver up to this point, casually discarded by the current Administration, but that seems like an unnecessary...

The 4695 cells are still sub-5-volt. It's not the cells, but the layout of the whole pack, and whether Rivian planned ahead enough to "simply" switch cell modules into 400v and 800v (or even 1000v) sections, and have the appropriate hardware managing it all.

Good catch. tel:// doesn't provide the protocol to use, so it's not a URL, but a URI, leaving the protocol selection to the viewing application. Of course, some helpful apps just recognize phone numbers and turn them into clickable items anyway, just to muddy the murky waters

Akshualy... it is a URL (or can be), just one that does something different than visit a website.

Wireless charging is pretty good these days ... "do eet".

Rivian should put a port on each side of the nose and be done with it.

UWB has built-in encryption so the developer doesn't have to roll their own or choose from multiple standards and hope the device on the other end has the same algorithms available. It is also directional with the right hardware, and offers position sensing to the other device within a few...

They could attach a "subscribe to connect+" to it!

Way back in my high school days when school buses were the norm, a student walked between two busses as they were lined up and also just as the driver released the parking brake with the vehicle in neutral. "Fortunately" it was only two broken legs. The newspaper article didn't mention the...

The inductive charging pads I've seen are not overly large and could easily be driven by a 220v extension cord. To many people's surprise, they are about as efficient as plugging into an AC charging unit because they can bypass the power-lossy onboard inverters. Here's a company that demoed at...

There's electromechanical, hydraulic, and you can control damping using valve adjustment or fancy magnetorheological (viscosity of fluid controlled by magnetic field). I doubt any are cheaper than air suspension for adjusting height.

Nothing is an island. All tariffs eventually raise the price of everything. If the oil and gas industry has to pay more, but not the EV world, then oil and gas is going to cost more, and those people dependent on it (as in everyone) will have less to spend on non-tariffed product, suppressing...
