#charging electric cars

[odinsblog]

As cold weather sweeps across the U.S., some electric vehicle owners are learning a bitter truth: Low temperatures can stop the cars dead in their icy tracks.

The issue crystallized this week when some Tesla owners in Chicago discovered their EVs' batteries had died in sub-zero temperatures. Drivers also said some of Tesla charging stations weren't working, or if they did work that the stations were taking longer than usual to charge up their vehicles.

“I've been here for over five hours at this point, and I still have not gotten to charge my car,” Tesla driver Brandon Welbourne told CBS Chicago. “A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours.”

What happens to electric vehicles in cold weather?

Here's what to know.

Electric vehicles are less efficient in cold weather, with Recurrent's research finding that below-freezing temperatures reduced driving range up to 30% on 18 popular EV models.

An EV with a 200 to 215 mile range may only go 150 to 175 miles in the cold, Recurrent's Case said, while noting even that reduced mileage is often sufficient for most drivers. “The average person with an EV drives 30 miles a day,” he said.

Still, a shorter range in cold weather could be an issue for some owners if their EV runs out of juice miles earlier than expected, potentially leaving to hunt for an available charger or, worse, stranded in dangerously frigid conditions.

#tesla #elon musk #electric vehicles #yikes #as much as i hate those stupid soap bubble looking cars its not just tesla #yeah this might be a prob #lol i think i can wait a bit longer for my ev #i frequently drive to georgia and north carolina and nyc and dc #i couldnt imagine getting stranded on the side of the road in freezing temps #because my charge died about 30% sooner than i planned #and charging stations are so few and far between to begin with #im not knocking the technology but issa problem #❄️ 🚗​ 🥶

Nyobolt EV Concept, 2023. An electric sports car prototype designed by Julian Thomson based on the first generation Lotus Elise engineered by Callum with battery tech by Nyobolt that has a claimed charge time of 6 minutes.  Nyobolt has revealed new battery technology that is smaller, lighter and faster to charge. In the Nyobolt EV, set to weigh close to one tonne, this translates into a 35kWh battery that is capable of fully charging in 6 minutes with existing charging infrastructure, delivering a range of up to 250km. Nyobolt claims that its battery will enter production in early 2024 and is “ready to be adopted” across the automotive industry.

Electric cars are bad for the environment and it's fucking stupid as shit that people keep ignoring that. Making the gas powered pollution machine into a smart phone on wheels is still making it into a different, worse pollution machine. It just now includes even more child slavery, corporate surveillance, DRM, and taxing the poor.

#An all electric car future is a fucking dystopia. #Imagine a world where you taxed because you can't afford a new car and live too many miles away from the nearest charging station. #Imagine a world where you don't have right to repair for your own fucking car and it stops working 3 years after you buy it. New. #Because you can only buy new. #And when you're done driving it 3 years later they shred that suckers battery and chuck it directly into the Pacific ocean. #environment #climate change #☠️

i may still be hours away from home due to eclipse traffic like everyone else on earth, so i haven't seen any sort of memes yet dunking on everyone waiting for hours in huge lines to the tesla superchargers, but i just wanted to say: Please Don't

#like. i get it. the cars are dangerous and elon sucks. but this happened for every electric car regardless #because of the insane amount of gas stations vs the very few charging stations #we also had a couple of assholes drive in to the plaza with their gas cars and start REVVING them really loudly and circling the line #cool. thanks. love that #eclipse #tesla #cowposting

You want to drive for 500 miles with the air conditioning and the heating on at the same time?

I had to return to Starlight Shitposts to recreate some of the posts found here because these are absolutely hilarious

Electric vehicles are pretty cool.

Until you need to charge it and there isn't a station nearby.

Until the charging station nearby doesn't have the right plugs. (Like having the wrong charger for your phone, but instead it's a whole car.)

Until the charging station is broken.

Until the charging station is being used by someone else.

Until you forget to charge your car overnight.

Until the power goes out and you can't charge your car.

Until you have to drive in freezing temps without the heater because it immediately drops 10 miles off your range, and that 10 miles is what is making sure you get home.

I'm all for electric vehicles, but only if the infrastructure is there to make them practical.

#electric cars #electric vehicles #i'm using my brother's ev fiat and while it's a good little car it's too impractical #on a good day I've got 100 mile range #on a cold day I've got 60 miles #even less with the heater #my dad unplugged the charger yesterday to charge his power tools and forgot to plug my car back in #i couldn't get to work this morning and needed a ride #there are too many things that could go wrong and have gone wrong in just a week #i need a gas car #im in a podunk place with no ev infrastructure

theres a post going around about bitching about stretching regularly and how its a sisyphean(?) task, and i actually really enjoy stretching (exercise DOES trigger good chemicals) but yknow the real sisyphean task? fucking gas. im so tired of getting gas bro

#and i dont think an electric car would be better . still gotta charge it #we should invent a car that doesnt need gas or to charge . im tired of it

Electric vehicles are (probably) not the moving technology of the future. But it's definitely necessary. At least until more optimal energy source technology is developed.

When we saw the electric vehicle trend slowing down, business results declined. Public opinion is causing a lot of pressure on "electric vehicles"

In my opinion, electric vehicles (vehicles using electric battery technology) are only a small factor about the vehicle's "power supply". In addition to source energy technology, autonomous technology, and transmission technology... will determine the future of transportation.

Electric vehicles are (probably) not the moving technology of the future. In the near future, electric vehicles will not yet be my choice. But certainly, the electric vehicle trend is necessary. Partly like developing products to meet consumer trends, a new product is launched to stimulate consumption. Another part is this transitional change process to technological innovation. We are slowing down & waiting too long to change traffic technology/ innovate  vehicle technology.

There are many problems that electric vehicles need to solve. *Lithium Battery | Production - recycling - regeneration of environmental resources. The destruction of resources and the environment from battery production as well as waste battery treatment. *Battery | Charging time & replacement performance. *Energy | Certain competitive advantage. Obviously, the advantage of electric energy is only in countries with high gasoline prices and a certain amount of abundant electricity. Therefore, there will be many innovations and replacements.

Future transportation with self-driving technology, transmission technology... and sustainable energy sources. This story is not just about transportation but may change the overall transportation infrastructure and transportation methods.

That is like changes in people's lifestyles and urban living spaces. Townhouse and apartment types appear when population density is high, construction technology also helps accelerate the development of high-rise urban living models. Residence types will change and adapt to the needs of modern life.

Po Town itself WAS punished by the Tapu or something before Team Skull took up resdence though, right? maybe there were proper roads before then, and they just abandoned them like the town?

yeah that would make sense! hmmm, I didn't find any paths that branch off and the mountains cutting off the area weren't created just to punish po town, it was just the rain in po town, and the town at the base of mt. lanakila that was smited 🤔🤔🤔

unless...... so like, ula'ula meadow and the lake of the [whichever] are obv. not tapu bulu's to smite, but maybe the two cursed areas were connected at some point but the destruction of the megamart was combined with destroying some roads??

or maybe it was connected near mt. hokulani?

there seems to have been at the very least some kind of mudslide there, but when I check in-game, there's no sign of a former road....... 🤔🤔🤔

#oceandi answers #anonymous #alola #po town #it's very mysterious #of course there is another explanation -- there are SO few cars in pokemon in general it's hard to imagine that one little corner of an #island would have so many unless po town was abandoned QUITE a long time ago -- back when people used cars as a main form of transportation #we never find out much about the group that came before team skull in any meaningful way. just like two lines #oh my god I was just trying to open USUM to find those two lines and instead spent like an hour and a half trying to fix my 3ds #I DID IT BTW THE CHARGING PORT WAS JUST UNSOLDERED SO I SQUISHED IT DOWN WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE AND NOW IT CHARGES PERFECTLY LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

Good news! I've bought my own car!

It's a 2012 Nissan Leaf. It is blue. It is so cute and so fun. I love it so fucking much. It's been running great for weeks (they let me drive it off the lot). It is my favorite car I've ever driven. Still waiting on the approval from the bank but my dealer is supposed to hear back on Monday or Tuesday for the loan approval.

Bad news! Went to get an anti-theft implement installed and then charged my car at the nissan port across the street and now the battery won't hold a charge! The dealer's service guys aren't in on Sunday so gotta wait till tomorrow before they can look at my car!

I also don't have insurance or even a license plate yet because I'm still waiting on the loan approval and didn't want to get those started without confirmation that the loan was approved! Because getting those when the deal hasn't been finished yet felt like a bad idea!

Fuck!

#I am hoping that since the loan hasn't been approved yet technically that there's some loopholes we can use #and the worst part is there's nothing in the security thing installment that would affect the charging #the most likely option is the charger at the nissan dealership across the street did something to my car #THE CHARGER #FOR ELECTRIC NISSAN VEHICLES #MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY #yesterday was... weird to say the least #always a good sign when the tow truck driver pulls up and is like #'damn not even a license plate yet huh'
