Eh.. it’s more Honda Ridgeline than Hummer I’m keeping my Cybertruck reservation. I’m giggling at the hummer community response where it sorta falls in 3 camps... 1 that will buy it or the Cybertruck because it’ll be the next big thing for a bit...people who are fretting it’s not a real hummer ( this happened when the h2/h3 came out ) and the chuds who are in the “they’ll get my gas/diesel from my cold dead hands” camp. Me? I’d like to for a electric conversion to my h1 when the time comes.

So I tested an Electrify America charging station (Culver City area) yesterday in preparation for the Vegas trip, since almost all the free chargers along I15 are of that type. Glad I did. Some observations: 1. Some of the stations were "unavailable" with nothing being charged, I assume they just go down on a regular basis (see Baker, CA status). 2. The app UI is crap. And I say that as someone who has run mobile app companies for over 15 years. Great, you've discovered I'm near a charger and you even give me a list of the ones where I am at. But as much as I tried getting the app to have the charger use my account, it was a total fail. This location was so messed up that they were charging up to 80% for free (about 50kw on my Niro). 3. The key is NOT to use the app. Instead using the EA Card in my Apple Wallet did work. Go to the charger, say you have an account, and hold the phone near the sensor thing. That allowed me to take it from 80% to 90%, the Kia limiting that to a 24kw rate. 5kwh for $1.55 (I opted for the monthly account). Seriously, get normal humans to try this stuff and observe the issues ... fix and repeat. It isn't that hard.

Powershift posted:Friendly reminder that we are just over an hour away from the Hummer EV reveal. loving hell. GM is pretty serious about this thing. 4-wheel independent suspension - good for ground clearance, 4-wheel steering. Crab mode! Air suspension with a lift mode. Underbody crawling cameras. It's not any uglier than any other modern pickup, really (not saying much...) and reminds me of an enclosed Halo Warthog. Price is whoo-boy, but it is a pile of neat stuff.

Edit: Darchangel posted:But that shows that the 800v charging is only on the super-duped Edition 1, so far. They don't offer any other numbers. It's weird, their drivetrain is 400V but they can charge at 800V by switching half the pack from parallel to series momentarily. Kind of solves the issue where Taycan has to step down to 400V if they're not charging at 800V stations. Nfcknblvbl fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Oct 21, 2020 |

That will be quite enough about the EV Hummer being a road menace. I've long been critical of the cliffs of metal that are SUV's now and even I'm being taken aback by the Hummer EV road murderer posts.

Not needing a fob is awesome. Tapping my phone still isn’t as convenient as using a supercharger but it’s miles better than digging out a fob from my center console. One day I’ll be able to charge my Energica as painless as my Tesla.

The fourth-gen Jimny is such a cute little mini-Bronco, ladder frame and rigid axles and all. It's a shame about the high emissions though, they had to withdraw it from the EU market because it doesn't adhere to the new requirements. An electric version would be great.

Curb weight isn’t announced yet but it’s going to be what, 3 or 4 tons? The fact that this is a commercially available vehicle anyone who has a drivers license can operate is alarming. This isn’t a slam on the Hummer in and of itself, it’s just that the Hummer is the latest and most egregious offender to date of the arms race of adding more power, more weight, more manly rugged SUV nonsense that has an ultimate destination of killing people.

Cool article on a completely different EV: https://www.theturnsignalblog.com/blog/ami-and-future-of-transportation/  I think there's a lot of great ideas there. e.g. instead of adding a rubbish center console like other cheap cars, just don't provide one at all and help people use their phone. quote:It is available to buy for around 6000 euros or rent for 20 euros per month after a down payment You can buy it in electronics stores instead of a care dealership if you like. I think I agree with the concerns at the end of the article about this displacing walking and cycling rather than driving. Still, it's pretty cool and hopefully has a future in many urban markets.

unfortunately it is kind of an artifact of a weird French legal vestige for quadricycles so it's probably not viable in most other markets because in most countries you can't drive toy cars on the roads at age 14

pointsofdata posted:Cool article on a completely different EV: For the limited performance and that it's still basically the same pain in the rear end to park in Paris as a regular compact car, it doesn't seem that desirable to own for the urbanite that fits the specs. But it looks perfect for a car sharing service, including an interior which can be power washed. Car "sharing" is perhaps not the right term anymore, it's more short term rental really, like city bikes.
