Those are women ???!!!

That GG is even on this relatively small forum is suggestive of a healthy breadth of participation. I usually don't read him but ... so what? Let him be.

Because you're not there?

Do the Russians have their own AseanNow? What about the Chinese? The Indians? It'd be interesting to get on these and see wtf goes on in their heads ... Edit: Found this: https://forum.awd.ru/viewforum.php?f=116

Tourism is like sugar: short-term high, long-term problems.

Never forget as you read these EV threads: KhunLA claims to refuel his magical EVs with FREE electricity at his house. AND ... There's almost no overlap in mentality between the vested Early Adopter and ... anyone else.

Oh to be young and ignorant naïve again ...

Because they're all liars and cheats!

Increasing atmospheric CO2 gonna cause the jungles to grow back.

The only quality tourists willing to pay these fees will be drug dealers and other scofflaws ...

Could be a great opportunity for Vietnam to step up

Hell World just getting started ...

The upside is phone addiction may lower their fertility rate.

Homo sapiens' addiction to phones is part of the perhaps inevitable convergence of humans and technology - transhumanism. Becoming ever more difficult to care about this emerging species ...

Imagine - just for kicks - your password manager app was hacked. That'd bring on another magnitude of problems.

Hertz to sell off fleet of 20,000 EVs, revert to gas-powered cars "We took a bold move and are taking a strategic adjustment to our fleet to take 20,000 electric vehicles out of the fleet," Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in an interview with CNBC. "It's really to respond to the reality, which is we're trying to bring supply in line with demand and we're addressing a cost issue that happens to be related to the EVs in the context of damage and damage costs."

Apologies in advance if this has already been covered: Chinese BYD electric car explodes while charging outside shopping mall ViralPress Sep 5, 2023 Updated Sep 5, 2023 A one-week-old Chinese BYD electric car exploded while it was charging outside a mall in Thailand. The grey BYD Atto 3 was found by firefighters with smoke gushing out from under its bonnet while parked in front of a shopping centre in Udon Thani province on September 3 afternoon. ...

You just made that up didn't you. Along with the rest of the 'facts' in your post. And, unsurprisingly, you missed the point altogether. But I ain't a gonna try to explain it to you.

What Is Asymmetric Information? Asymmetric information, also known as "information failure," occurs when one party to an economic transaction possesses greater material knowledge than the other party. This typically manifests when the seller of a good or service possesses greater knowledge than the buyer ... Medical insurance is a classic case.

So governments are pushing and subsidizing EVs to a subset of the population for which the vehicles may conceivably make sense. It's understandable why a large part of the population will be against EVs since they are paying but cannot benefit because "EVs make no sense without home charging".

This might be the most important assertion in the entire thread. (By "it" is meant EVs I believe.)

Has this consideration been adequately hashed out? (And I mean adequately, by a capable professional engineer at least.) EVs are heavier than a comparable ICE vehicle. Therefore EVs require more energy to be moved - and particularly to be accelerated. If the electricity used to charge the EV is generated from a dirty source, the EV may actually be causing more air pollution per average mile traveled due to this point alone. Someone here is likely to chime in about regenerative braking capturing some of energy which is otherwise lost to heat in deceleration. Fair point but does not alone suffice to answer the question. I'd like to see a reasonably thorough treatment using applied physics. Someone somewhere has no doubt done this - the question is where can it be found.

Don't feel left out. You're not an Early Adopter but your posts are near as nasty as those of the Early Adopters. A little more arrogance and I'm sure they'll let you join.

'Tis an aggregation of idiocy nonpareil. Enough to assuage any concerns one may have about the potential extinction of the human race ...

A wise choice. Pointless to argue with Early Adopters.
