  • Tesla was the top EV seller in Europe? I’m surprised.

    Not only that, A few years ago, Tesla was as big as all the rest combined!

    I’m guessing the top electric-only vehicle excluding hybrids and plug-in hybrids?

    That’s how it should be, but in most cases it’s not. 100% battery is called BEV now. But BEV sales have far surpassed plugin Hybrid (PHEV) now.

    IMO a Hybrid plugin or not is NOT electric just as it is NOT an ICE, it’s a hybrid of the 2! But Hybrids are generally counted as EV.




  • Note that the text OP posted above is NOT the whole article!!
    IDK why that isn’t made clear?

    Since last week, Hogg has appeared on just about every cable news show and digital outlet, advocating for a party reset of sorts — not just because it lost the White House to Donald Trump, but also because, he said, it lost faith among voters.

    David Hogg is right IMO, the party needs a reset, and the platform needs a reset. For one: Calling themselves the Democratic party, they really should work more to improve democracy in USA! As it is they are not really democrats any more than people calling themselves pro life when in fact they aren’t at all pro life. What they are is against abortion rights.

    Likewise the Democrats have helped maintain the status quo, in a dysfunctional flawed democratic system.















  • Ellen Pao was OK, she just wanted to prevent hate speech, the campaign against her was completely uncalled for. I don’t think it was planned for her to fail.
    The result was that the reddit clone “Voat” was created as a non censored alternative, and of course that was toxic as hell.

    Essentially what Pao did was to keep reddit within the law and being responsible. And prevent moronic subs like one that was based on illegal revenge-porn!!
    By far the most Lemmy instances are run by similar standards to what Pao wanted. Pao was demonized for no reason.

    Pao was essentially the antithesis to what X is to Twitter.


  • We can now get cheap 22kW chargers for home use. But yes electric cars are still expensive, we are hoping 2nd hand EV will drop in price quickly, because there are always new better cars coming out. Here you can almost buy a house for what a new EV with good range cost.
    Here it cost extra to use fast chargers, but we have from 50 to 300 kW. But already at 100 kW it’s already more than twice the normal cost of electricity.
    We have solar panels, so we would really really like an EV? That’s free charging half the year. 😎
