    Without the battery the cars range on just solar is very limited. It's not so much a solar car as it is a solar assist car that is very much dependent on the quality and length of available sunlight. It still needs to be manually charged to get anywhere near that range. Charging speeds are still...

    According to the Knob, the sun will provide all the power you need.🤣

    I also have solar walkway lights and motion lights that store electricity in a battery. They are entirely dependent on the sun and not always dependable. No or little sun = no or little light at night. Charging an EV with solar is a whole different story. If you think you're going to do that...

    👍 It's a price tag on a sign that allows me to compare prices. Nothing more. Something you can't even do with charging stations. Brand is pretty much irrelevant to me. FYI, the sun is not there every day. It can be unreliable. Some days are cloudy or rainy and depending on your location, trees...

    Free 18650batterystore Flashlight - UI Makes it unusable?

    I recently sent my Armytek Predator Pro to China for warranty service. Eventually, they did actually replace it with the current model. I asked if they would refund my shipping cost because the light was shown to be defective and broke through no fault of my own. They declined, saying, "we are...

    And that's the whole argument in a nutshell. Get the government out of the business of choosing sides and forcing mandates, and let the free market decide. If EV's prove to be that good, and they meet their needs, people will buy them.

    I don't understand the need to vilify petroleum. Why is it necessary to reduce its use? Nothing inherently bad about it. It's abundant, cheap, and there's growing evidence it renews over time. It's here for us to use.

    Poor guy is out there, alright. He really needs help. I considered putting him on my ignore list, but his posts are so whacked I actually find it entertaining. Kind of like watching a circus clown or a bad train wreck you just can't look away from, lol.

    What? If it costs the equivalent of gas doesn't that go against your argument about the maths of electrics being "easier on the pocketbook"? To make electric vehicles anywhere close to being viable, you would really need a 220V- 240V fast charger installed at your home. That doesn't come cheap...

    HUH? Microplastics? I thought we were talking about ICE vs. EV's. Do you really want to go there? I was referring to the precious ATMOSPHERE you claim I am poisoning. The one that all plants need to extract carbon from. Our measuring instruments have become so sensitive and precise, It's...

    I happen to have the knowledge and tools necessary to repair most of my ICE's. I also get a certain satisfaction from working with my hands to fix and maintain things. I believe you when you say you have rarely repaired or serviced any of your electric devices. They are designed to be...

    It is you who claims China is coming to save the world with their EV's. Newsflash; They don't care how much they pollute with their coal-fired plants and lithium mining, and neither do I. I think that you think your batteries come from the same place your food comes from; the store. Salvage all...

    And I find it presumptuous of people who think they know what is best for me. I happen to like gasoline engines. They are familiar, easy to work on and infinitely repairable. Not disposable items destined for the landfill. The amount of pollution created from ICE lawn equipment is minuscule...

    Binge worthy series

    During the first season she was pregnant and the producers had to find creative ways to hide her belly (tummy) by draping additional clothing over her and shooting her behind obstacles. They were also threatened with fines for showing her belly button.
