It’s the opposite unfortunately, at least in the US. Rate of increase in CCS EV sales has been far outstripping the rate of increase in CCS chargers. There is a hope that the federal funding will turn this around but whether that in itself in enough… who knows.

Abysmal seems a strange take to me. They sold the most cars in a quarter ever, and in automotive, Q1 is typically a down quarter compared to the prior Q4. Overlaid with the current economic situation and I’m not even sure I would call it “bad”.

Rivian beat their Q1 target I believe.

Yes- my understanding is most EVs are designed with a little reserve after “empty” in the same way gas cars are. In this test the spread was 7-10 miles reserve range.

Ugh. I don’t know what’s going on at EA, but this is concerning:

I guess you are #5 in line :)

GM announced their 1st Quarter EV sales today. 2 Hummers sold the entire quarter.

According to Biden, 3500 open superchargers by end 2024. I believe that’s equal to the total # of EA chargers that currently exist (at least as of late 2022)...

So I could upgrade my Pure reservation to Touring and get legacy Touring pricing, the $7500 Lucid credit (ie discount) and the $7500 federal credit?

How would Lucid qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit? At $113k it’s more than double the MSRP limit. Even if there wasn’t an MSRP limit I’d imagine most prospective Touring and S buyers would not qualify due to income limits. Is Lucid definitely extending their $7500 credit to legacy...

I wouldn’t shed a tear for the dealers here. They are the first to price gouge consumers for every extra dollar they can get when the market is in their favor. For a couple years dealers have been able to sell 3 or 4 year old cars for more than their new price because people needed cars and...

I loved that car- perfect for cities and was very forward looking when it came out. I’m sure they lost a ton of $ on it (carbon fiber chassis!). If they kept a focus on developing EVs, rather than seemingly forgetting about them for almost 10 years, they could have been a real leader now.

I’ll have to check that out, but wow! Still way cheaper than a bunch of powerwalls I guess.

I’m not sure how these systems determine if someone is watching the road when wearing dark sunglasses. I can only think they are programmed to assume they are watching as long as their head is up and pointing forward (ie would not be able to determine if someone’s eyes are closed)

Heat pumps can achieve up to 300% efficiency.

EV sales in the US were up 65% in 2022. CCS chargers (combined between EA, EVGo, Chargepoint) only up about 16%-17-%. This is a huge problem.

This seems a little sensationalist. Rivian is acting to end civilization by building their own charging network? At least they are getting off their asses and actually doing something to make the charging experience better for their customers, unlike every single other auto manufacturer except...

That definitely doesn’t sound right. They manufactured 78k MachE’s in 2022. At $2B that would put the cost of unnecessary wire at $25k per car!!

Ford now cutting Mach E prices: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/01/30/ford-mustang-mach-e-price-cut.html

Depends on how much people drive I think. Teslas power train warranty (ie battery and drive unit) is 8 yrs 150k miles. Hyundai’s power train (which for an EV is battery and drive unit) is 10 yrs 100,000 miles. If you drive the US average 14.25k miles per year you’d get 8 years and 114k miles out...
