1. Are you sure they are open at all? Maybe they are just closed completely, broken. 2. It could be that they are from before any deals with EU were signed, and they are not encompassed by the deal - but i find it unlikely, as the deal covers most locations adjacent to public places or highways...

Maybe very early on it would have been possible for tesla to pull same bs as in USA, but EU put regulations in place as soon as EU started public investment into EVs and EV chargers, for projects that were not on-going - Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR Regulation (EU)...

In USA. In Europe there is such a law, it’s why Tesla never bothered with the bullshit they do in USA. In Europe tesla is just another EC, no infrastructure advantage, because everyone has access to Tesla chargers, by law But I don’t think Tesla has any interest from restricting any company...

So he's saying they are not competing with better cars at lower prices, they are competing at higher prices ? So more price hikes. And they are pulling back on EVs... rather than try to make a competitive one. I guess Porsche doesn't want to be regular joe's, the engineer/doctor sports car...

https://www.renault.co.uk/electric-vehicles/r5-e-tech-electric/configurator.html?conf=https://uk.co.rplug.renault.com/c/BACJv/AhtNM Renault 5 has all those requirments imposed by governments, and more, at 26.000 euro. And while it's definitely more expensive than a cheap car used to be in the...

And if they scratch they brake the steering column; 500k repair bill Hopefully they use real protection plate on the bottom, to avoid totaling the tank due to a 3mm scratch on the underside

I have a feeling porsche thinks military technology has stagnated since they made the Leopard tanks. They'd be shocked how important software is in new military equipment. Wish them luck :) with the kind of leadership that ships software as bad as it is in the taycan, they will need all the...

First production run was not making any profit, talking about SU7 to SU7 MAX, not SU7 ultra. But after the first production run, all models were returning profit according to Xiaomi talking to investors. As for this specific car, the ULTRA, when announced, the car was announced for 110k, but...

Swap-able batteries are a thing in China. NIO supports it for all of their EVs, and most big charging locations also have a swaping station. It takes 3 minutes to perform a battery swap, and offers cross compatiblity - old to new chemistry, small to big size, and the reverse of that. NIO is one...

Since this car has been discussed quite a lot on this forum, and many claims of it never coming to production with that power and configuration, I thought it might be appropriate to post some reviews of it, as the car has started shipping to customers since early March/ late Feb: The car comes...

Also, I wanted to add 1 cool feature that many "premium" EVs in china are coming out with in 2025; 2 high speed charging ports, that you can use at the same time. This car also supports it, and so do most new models of Zeeker, some NIO and some Li cars. Basically, this allows you to replace 1x...

Most ultra chargers, 400 kw +, have local battery storage, which fills in off-peak hours, to be offloaded during charging/peak times. They rarely pull 400kw from the grid. Calculations not exactly correct, as there is a charging curve at flexible rate, not a flat rate. But also, if you have...

It's hard to argue that the HYC 400 is the best for reliability, consistency and cost, when they barely shipped a few hundred of them in europe; while LI auto shipped as many faster chargers (520) in less time. At least, as far as I noticed, most of them are in Italy, with few in switzerland...

These are not lab result. These are cars going on sell by end of Q1 or early Q2 this year, and 1000kw chargers (10C chargers) are already being deployed. It is a refresh of the BYD Han released last year. This car will be sold as a Model S competitor at Model 3 prices - below Denza Z9 ($46k)...

New battery chemistry, new platform However, even in china there is no infrastructure for these speeds; with a few hundred 5C/5.5C (500+ kwh) chargers deployed around china. The new stations are produced by BYD only for now, and there will be few of them. BYD was lagging behind in terms of...

What harry and all of these people miss is that 2035 is a ban on NEW ice cars. You can still buy 2nd hand and existing inventory or ice cars. Yes, full EV adoption by 2035 is unlikely, it won't happen. But that's not what the regulations expect. Regulations expect manufacturers to stop selling...

The new MG EV; sadly you’d have to import it.

Same cells same exact " Folded anode tabs can lead to thermal overload, which in turn can cause fires." on Taycans, according to recall listing in europe. One has to wonder if LG poland is covering the cost of all of these recalls, or the car brands. Mildly concerning, as it is the same cells...

I don't know why do you feel the need to throw personal attacks, but sure. Yes, sure, the biggest car market in the world is not an indication of anything. Let's just agree to disagree, why don't we, and we'll see how Porsche evolves in 2025. So far projections don;t look good.
