What the US really needs is regulations like the EU has in place. Mainly for the manufacturers, who would be forced to make very compelling EVs that people want to buy in order to be able to comply with the regulations. Too many manufacturers are half-assing it and not getting anywhere.
Le Tissier was good, but even with a work ethic I don’t think he would world class in his day.
Taking one for the team. lol
In case anyone is wondering what Prussian White is:
“Prussian white (PW) also referred to as Berlin White (BW) or Everett’s Salt (ES), is the totally reduced and sodiated form of the pigment known as Prussian Blue. The basic building blocks of Prussian White are sodium, iron, carbon, and nitrogen. It is the hexacyanoferrate based sodium rich iron analogue (Na2Fe[Fe(CN)6]) used as a positive electrode material in sodium-ion batteries.”
No idea about BYD, but CATLs anode is as follows…
https://www.catl.com/en/news/665.html
“In terms of anode materials, CATL has developed a hard carbon material that features a unique porous structure, which enables the abundant storage and fast movement of sodium ions, and also an outstanding cycle performance.”
Things are getting very interesting with Sodium-ion tech. CATL and BYD are the players you really want behind a battery technology in China in order for it to succeed.
Maybe not, but this is not manipulation, China have just started making very good EVs and selling them at competitive prices.
Punishment? Don’t they have to first investigate to establish guilt before the punishment is dished out?
Killed everyone with that last line.
The internal tech in this is going to be awesome. I have several Xiaomi products, they are low cost but very good.
It’s pretty easy to do all these things when things are going well too. Players want to join, everyone is happy.
I think a year is too long though, some people might fall on hard times and need to sell their truck, or they might need to move abroad, or have a multitude of reasons for needing to sell. 6 months would be better, IMO.
I think it’s really important for solid state batteries to enter mass production, even if the first gen products do not offer much of an advantage vs liquid electrolyte batteries. SSBs have a higher celling and the subsequent generations will get a lot better.
It’s easier to increase by a decent percentage when EV sales are so low. Toyota doesn’t have a decent EV to offer at the moment.
Yeah, this is a case of them having an answer and deciding the question later, for sure !
Quantumscape will be the first mass market solid-state player, they have a huge amount of funding from VW.
The Frankenstein squad took us to third last season though. This is so do with form and confidence.
You are right, EU/UK definitely and China (probably) will be around 100% EV sales by then anyhow, it would make less and less sense to keep building ICE cars for the US market. This becomes much more of a factor for those with more sales in EU/China than they have in the US. The German manufacturers are likely to see less and less sense in developing ICE cars for the US market as time goes by. Even Ford might start thinking whether it makes sense to continue with the ICE F150 after sales reach 50:50.
He did harm the club, but proving someone’s intentions is not easy.
I didn’t expect him to score this many and I don’t think anyone else did either. He wasn’t brought to RM to be one of their main goalscorers, this kind of happened by accident. I can see him maybe getting 20+ goals per season on a regular basis over the next 8 years or so, but probably quite a few less if they bring in an elite striker like Mbappé, who would need to be getting on the end of most goals.
