The Rivian you can now service the battery in position. Replace the bms separately, were as some you have to replace the whole battery. Interesting its hardly mentioned, I dont think this right to repair is of any Interest to journalists or wealthy new buyers. Personally congratulations Rivian.

The EV enthusiasts keep stressing home charging to circumvent charging times that they ignore the urban apartment city dwellers. It is fine and dandy if you live in a home with a garage and with a charger. The Chicago disaster last winter highlights the EV issues in a dense urban environment. Watch Cash Jordan’s YT video on EVs which reveals the issues for EV owners in New York City. EVs have to be accessible to all or it will fail massively.

Geoffrey Moore wrote a book on Crossing the Chasm. To cross the chasm from Early Adoptors to Early Majority, the product or new technology had to be designed to appeal the masses. In EV’s case, mainstream consumers want an EV that has the convenience and familiarity of an ICE vehicle. This includes the time to replenish the energy for a vehicle. The time that it takes to recharge a EV should be the same as filling up an ICE vehicle for it to appeal to the masses. If this can be achieved, this would mean fewer chargers and gas stations could be viablly converted for charging EVs. The narrator likes to put labels on critics as “naysayers” , but some of those critics have valid points for charging EVs.

This is a case where education needs to be made to shift expectations. EVs aren’t ICE. The biggest benefit of an EV is plugging in at home every evening and staying the day full, so in normal day to day use, you NEVER have to go to a gas station. I’ve saved far more time avoiding gas stations for regular commuting/around town errands than I have added in longer time spent charging on road trips. (And I actually do road trip fairly often and for long distances.)
@williamquemuel7824 Күн бұрын
@@AnonymousFreakYT You don’t get it. If charge times for EVs were the same for refueling an ICE vehicle, then you wouldn’t need as many public chargers. “Gas station” model would fit the bill for EV charging instead of the large proliferation of public EV chargers. The current situation is that there is a massive public charging network which leads to high maintenance and unreliability.
@AnonymousFreakYT Күн бұрын
@@williamquemuel7824 There is steady improvement. As mentioned here, one company just announced a “6C charging rate” battery. Combined with upcoming 500kW stations, and even big battery EVs soon will have ICE-like charging speeds.

This narrator only cherry picks reports favorable to EVs. Case in point is this week’s report from Autoline Network. In the report, the McKinsey survey reveals that 46% of US EV owners want to go back to ICE vehicles.
@AnonymousFreakYT Күн бұрын
That is a gross misreading of the study. Not “46% WANT to switch back” but “46% are WILLING TO CONSIDER an ICE as their next vehicle.” That means that 54% of EV owners say they won’t under any circumstance purchase another ICE. Considering many EV owners are two-car households with one EV and one ICE, I consider that HUGE. That means that of the “one EV, one ICE” households, more than half are planning on replacing the ICE with an EV.

I don't mind you saying "convicted felony" in relation to Trump but balance would have been "Genocide Joe" Biden. In fact Biden's Transport Secretary was given Billion$ to administer the building of an EV charging network and thus far they have done nothing. A combination of cluelessness, laziness and sheer corruption.

People keep talking about range because although they've bought EVs they never bought into the EV lifrstyle. Evs arent meant to be driven all day to get you from A to B; they are meant to be stopped and charged at random locations along the way so you can have a few hours to spend to support the local economy.

@Petlaw99 6 күн бұрын
There is a very common misconception about the 'Rated' or WLTP consumption. This is the amount of energy that must be put INTO the battery to achieve that 100km of distance, which is around 15% higher than the 'vehicle consumption' that is shown on the dash. Vehicle consumption is how much comes OUT of the battery, not how much you must put in. If you want to compare your car against WLTP you must go to a charger and measure its consumption. Your 16.4 kWh/100km would be around 18.9 kWh/100km WLTP equivalent, significantly above the 16.9 quoted by VW. That said, it is a good figure and am looking forward to seeing same in the West Island.

All of the off road tests of the Solterra I have seen are with the OEM all season tires. For a real off road test, these should be replaced with all terrain tires. I installed Falken Wildpeak Trail AT tires, 235/65 R18, which are a little larger and add about 0.5" ground clearance, and this combination is great off road. On the Arizona trail rating system, your test has been a rating of 4 (moderate to easy), and I have driven my Solterra on 4 rated trails with the OEM tires. After installing the AT tires, I have been on a 5 rated trail and it did great. The test I would like to see would be to drive a Solterra with OEM tires on a more difficult trail and get it stuck. Then, install the AT tires and see if it gets stuck at the same place. Until you have driven an off road vehicle to where it gets stuck, you really don't know what it can do. azoffroad.net/trail-ratings

A shaved pukeko! It's going to take a while to erase that mental image. Thanks for that. Great to see bidirectional charging starting to be offered by EV makers (Kia, VW, Polestar and of course Nissan). The pressure is building on our NZ lines companies to adopt a strategy that will make EVs part of the grid demand solution rather than the whipping boy for generation and distribution inadequacy. Just have to coax the EVSE makers into bringing compatible units to the market at a reasonable price.
