Are you solar-curious? With the #climate heating & Republicans driving us right off the cliff, you won't regret starting *now* to get more energy resilient.

Some guy drove an EV across the US using only power generated from portable solar panels.
I've thought of doing something similar. Nice to see some successful precedents.
WRITER FUEL: New solar-powered EV can drive 40 miles daily using the power of the sun — and it's 50% more efficient than a Tesla.
Welp, the dealership where I bought my car last year apparently screwed up the EV tax credit paperwork and the IRS is rejecting my tax return. So many dealerships fucked it up that the IRS has now made a new rule to try to fix it.
If you're trying to get a used EV tax credit in the US this year, beware. If you wait until the last day to file you may get a nasty surprise.
Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...
I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.
I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.
Musk spent the last year feeding Tesla into the wood chipper. He said reservations of Tesla’s $100K Cybertruck topped 500K. Tesla sold 50K, instead of building a $25K vehicle. BYD and others are eating its lunch in China, and Musk alienated all of Tesla’s other markets. Tesla’s core market is now Republicans who believe EVs should be eliminated and want cheaper gas prices.

@withaveeay Yup, I share this grump. We came from Portree to Pitlochry on Monday. Added to our joys - a record number of out of order car chargers. The pick of which was Roy Bridge which was working (according to the app) when we left but not when we arrived - we made it to Newtonmore with 12 miles to spare but would have been stuffed if it had not been working… #EV
Tesla sales dropped 13% in first quarter, as a backlash against Elon Musk continues.

@xChaos jak vlastně s 3999 lidmi které sleduješ narazíš na náhodný post jako byl třeba ten můj? Od tolika lidí ty příspěvky musí být jak proud rychlé řeky. Nebo přes to máš filtry nebo to bylo přes sledovaný hashtag jako třeba #EV ?
Mj ještě jeden odběr a bude to jubilejní 4000. odebíraný - asi by zasloužil nějakou výhru
"...skutečnou motivací k zavádění cel Bruselu není ekologický dumping, jak říká, nýbrž prosté, „trumpovské“ ochranářství. Tak si stále nelžeme do kapsy."
And Good Morning !

My wife and I were thinking of switching to an EV before all the prices start going up due to the tarrifs but the US EV market is really underwhelming.
Most of the options are either SUVs or overpriced luxury cars. I just want a reasonably priced sedan that can fit 5 people including two car seats comfortably.
Morelle appeared at the #TaipeiCycle show & spoke of a breakthrough on energy density & offering a sub-15 minute charge.
