That youtube channel seems to be very anti chinese.
EVs Vs ICE cars according to ChatGPT 😀
Verse 1:
I thought I'd save the planet, so I bought an EV
But little did I know, it's just as bad as a V8
I'm driving down the street, feeling so eco-friendly
But the truth is hard to swallow, it's just as bad, you see
Chorus:
Electric vehicles, electric vehicles
They're just as bad as ICE, oh please don't you believe it
Don't be fooled by the hype, they're just as bad, you'll see it
Verse 2:
The lithium for the batteries, it comes from overseas
And mining it destroys the land, and pollutes the seas
And when those batteries die, they're tough to dispose
They end up in the landfill, where they decompose
Bridge:
I wish I could save the world, and drive a car that's clean
But the truth is complicated, it's not as easy as it seems
Maybe one day we'll find a way, to truly save the earth
But for now, let's just admit, EVs have their worth
Outro:
So if you want to help the earth, just take the bus or train
Or ride your bike, or walk, or carpool with your friends
Until we find a better way, let's all do what we can
To reduce our carbon footprint, and save this precious land.
I think there's a way to tell it to give you the source material for its response, would be interested to see where it's getting that info
I think that's an understatement, took a look at their videos and it looks like 90% of them are anti Chinese government
Not saying they're wrong, can't say I'm any fan of the Chinese government either. But I won't be taking anything they say at face value either
I've asked and get a generic "from the Internet" response.
How anyone thinks this is going to take over the world is beyond me 😂
It's definitely incredibley impressive at times. Not just for knocking up songs. 😀 Someone I know said it's well-written waffle 😀😀
Remember when you had a crappy Nokia that could only send texts ...
It's really only started as a public service.
We are in the post ChatGPT (et al) world.
I honestly think it's astounding the amount of change due to and in tech in the past 25 years. But this is getting to another plane entirely.
I think any kind of desk based job is in question...jobs directly dealing with physical things and humans will continue to be necessary ... but anything digital based is in for a wild ride.
Oh it's very sophisticated no doubt, but it seems very much like a solution looking for a problem
I think a lot of the promised applications turned out to be BS or way beyond it's capabilities
And then there's the legal aspects considering many of these AIs just masquerade other people's work as original responses
There's some uses no doubt, but it isn't coming for everyone's jobs (yet)
I think he is more anti Chinese Government and CCP controlled Media.

Looks like the Netherlands ran out of funding for electric trucks in one day
€30 million was available for 400 BEV or hydrogen trucks, but they got 1,600 applications on the first day and had to close for additional applications
All applicants were for BEV trucks, no-one wanted a hydrogen truck
Source article has some more details
Hilariously the article claims the industry will eventually favour hydrogen instead of batteries. I offer the above headline as a rebuttal to that viewpoint 😁
Found this video on a towing challenge between the F150 lightning and Rivian pickup trucks
Since they're using freedom units, here's some handy conversions for those of us who don't know what a mile is
7,500lb = 3,400kg
0.9mi/kWh = 69kWh/100km
72F = 22C
Some very honest assessments here, in particular the difficulty of having to unhitch the trailer to use the fast chargers. Really a sign of why forecourt layout is best
Consumption was of course horrendous, 69kWh/100km was what they averaged. Towing 3.4 tonnes however is no small feat and having over 200km range at that load isn't to be sneezed at
A bit strange that both spaces are disabled spaces, unless they plan on changing that also (and relocating the disabled spaces appropriately, of course).
Seems Epower like the one at Nass train station. Interesting
BYD -VW.
BYD Overtakes Volkswagen as China’s Best-Selling Car Brand
can’t post the link
Does anyone know if the ohme charger can be set to only start the charge after midnight
I assume those disabled spaces will be relocated, although there aren't many spaces as close to the station as these.
Choosing to put a High Power Charger at a train station is an odd one, hopefully there are hefty overstay fees to discourage people from plugging in all day (I argue a better use of resources would have been to line the walls of the car park with a load of 3kW to 7kW chargers, for those cars that are parked there all day.
There is a taxi rank about 20m from this charger, so maybe it's been set up with them in mind (we've a decent number of taxi EVs about bray, so maybe)
It depends on station, if it has toilets and small convenience shop it makes it decent location.
Had a demo Hyundai Bayon 1.2L petrol on Monday while our Ioniq 5 was getting warranty job done.
Did about 70km garage to home to garage. About 90km/h max (I don't think it would have managed passing a Lorry on the Waterford Road, woefully under powered) ☺️. Managed 6L/100km .
Did ye get the gear selector fixed eventually? Did they update the software for the preconditioning update?
Yes gear selector finally fixed after 5 months. But to be fair car was driving normally apart from an occasional warning and sticky selector.
Didn't talk to anyone at garage after, but requested all updates to be done at time, will get herself to check..
Even when the EV battery is 'flat' (11% SoC) the car defaults to hybrid mode, so still benefits from regen and maybe some low level of hybrid assistance. SoC bounced between 11 and 14% so the ECU is working for you. The petrol engine is a 1.6 with only 100bhp so there is a trade off, no power!
Winter Mode should be gone and replaced with different wording.
You'll see it by going to the EV screen where you see the car on a pixelated road. Press the gear icon bottom right and should be in there.
Will check later, I am so rarely in car. Last time I drove car prior to Monday was about 6 months ago..🙂
As a PHEV owner, keeping it charged up to its 13.8kw max since the last tank of Petrol I am averaging 2.2litres per 100kms as it only tells me combined. That is quite efficient for me having come from a Diesel which as 5.4 average on the same journeys. Was the Tucson I bought more expensive? Yes, by a big difference but for my usage I am quite happy with the consumption.
I will get better consumption in warmer months because in the mornings the car needs time to heat up. Either that or I keep the blower turned off on climate control, therefore passengers would be cold. This is when my ICE takes over for around 4 kms then EV kicks in until of course it runs out and/or gets a charge. My daily return mileage if I go nowhere else other than dropping missus to work is 38kms. Range is up to 60kms but it's not true because once below 25% it switches to HEV mode.
I had one of those Bayon’s in Lithuania back in December where the temp didn’t go above -10 for the few days I was there and it was a brilliant little car… I was well impressed by all its features like lane assist, CarPlay, fully digital dash, and heated seats/steering wheel etc…
I was there 2 weeks ago and had a brand new VW T-Cross and didn’t feel nearly as nice inside as the Bayon (and don’t get me started on those VW Haptic Touch (or whatever their called) sliders/buttons..)
The Bayon was flawless in the snow, and I managed to beach it in the garden trying to get a new washing machine as close to the front door as possible, but I managed to wiggle it free (impressive as it was an auto). Here you can see the car, and the beach she ran aground on the previous day….
I think the one you had may have been a little nicer than the Irish one..
But I agree the dash was nice and it was very smooth running. Just a little lacking in power, my above comment was more tongue in cheek..Of course I could have overtaken the lorry, there are plenty of downhill sections on that road.😁
See your doing it properly which is you're keeping the battery charged and using electric mode as much as possible
The thing that annoys me about PHEVs is that the vast majority that I've observed don't seem to get charged at all. There's quite a few in my immediate area, I would say 15-20 just in my bit of the estate. I've yet to see any of them being charged on a regular basis, just seems to be when the owner feels like it
Ross to Waterford? The only downhill overtaking spot left now is at the picnic area in Carriganurra I think?
We're getting an LR just to have more overtaking opportunities on that road. Lethal road all the same.
Possibly because the gap between petrol and electricity isn't huge at the moment, especially if you don't have night rate.
I do know a sales rep and the company gave them all PHEV's, with no reason to plugin as petrol is paid for anyway.
It was all corporate optics bullsh1t of saying how great we are at going green while not really caring.
Same model of car on same conditions? For e-Niro for example he has 131-180 Wh/km @90 km/h depending on the conditions.
