Watching Who Killed The Electric Car (2006).. yes, the US car companies clearly promoted hydrogen fuel cells as a cynical diversionary "alternative", but at the same time.. look at Ye Olde 1996-1999 battery tech on this thing https://t.co/HK1ZdvEbQX

"That caused a brief interruption in the site's operations but they quickly came back online using a Cloudflare competitor" and yet, per Wikipedia .. "[8chan] status: No longer on clearnet as of August 4, 2019, available now only over Tor hidden services – so-called darknet"

EV energy cost seems to be 100 miles / $4.80 in energy, compared to 100 miles at ~30mpg typical for $2.80 per gallon so .. around $9.33? Is it safe to say an EV has half the fuel price per mile? And of course the more expensive gas becomes, the stronger the effect.
avatar
Jeff Atwood @codinghorror
Aug 2, 2019, 2:31:46 AM
The EV just went from 90% to 57% battery on a 41 mile highway round trip (82 miles total). So 0.4% battery use per mile? 250 miles max range. A simple level 1 (generic wall plug) charger seems to charge at ~2% per hour.
