ChaiyaTH Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Not sure where you get that reading from, it's max average 44 for ozone in Bangkok today. The normal general reading (PM2.5) is 100-200 today. Edited January 21 by ChaiyaTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today air is horrible here in BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 2 hours ago, Drumbuie said: Electric cars don't have tailpipe emissions of any kind. It would be difficult for them to have tailpipe emissions when they have no tailpipe. The drive shaft of an EV is effectively an armature, producing electric current as it turns in a magnetic field. Any electrical discharge will create ozone. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/cind.818_3.x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris333 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Why the car rental companies Hertz and Sixt are separating from Tesla The US car rental company is listing its electric models, especially vehicles from the Musk Group. The German company Sixt is also foregoing Tesla. What's behind it? As to the reasons for the change in strategy, the landlord referred to the high costs of repairs and damage to the electric vehicles. The company said that expenses for repairs after accidents, particularly for electric cars, were high in the fourth quarter. Hertz estimated the write-offs at about $245 million. “This accordingly supports the decision to reduce the electric car fleet,” it said. Competitor Sixt had recently announced that it would no longer rent out Tesla electric cars due to weak resale values, and also pointed to higher repair costs. In Europe, private demand for electric vehicles had recently cooled down noticeably, partly due to the cancellation of public subsidies. With the news that the car rental company is now increasingly sorting out electric cars, quality problems with the vehicles are also coming into focus. Because there are currently significantly fewer electric vehicles than combustion engines on the market and they are relatively young, the data available on the vehicles is limited. According to testing experts from TÜV, the axle suspension and brake discs in particular are considered to be frequent defects in electric vehicles. Data from Bloomberg NEF for Munich and Orlando airports, both locations with a particularly large number of rental stations, show: If providers such as Sixt or Hertz earn an average of $8.40 more per week for combustion engines for every $1,000 invested in their fleet, the figure for electric cars is $8.40 more just $5.20 per week.

They are much more reliable and still affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
