@jbz We should say it as it is. There is a low demand of old, imperfect, not evolving #EV

The iteration speed of Chinese manufacturers, the biggest purchasing power globally represented by 20-30 year olds look at the Porsche as "grand dads car"

They are not SDV, they do not connect your life to the car when entering it. What Chinese buyers consider a car is not in the Porsche offerings.

Backpedaling will not help Porsche

🔥 'This is a major crisis:' Why Porsche puts the brakes on EVs | DW News

｢ Profits at German carmaker Porsche plunged by nearly 96 percent in the first nine months of this year. Porsche said the drop in profits was due to a change in strategy as the company shifted its focus back to combustion engines after weak demand for its electric vehicles ｣

A month and a half after my car accident, I finally have my car back. I don’t have to worry about the rental or paying for gas anymore. I had to quickly relearn how to drive an electric car with single pedal driving on the way back home but it all came back pretty quickly

Toyota EV converted an AE86 Corolla Levin with a manual gearbox, clutch, flywheel, and electric motor detuned to match the original 4A-G engine characteristics.

Stunning effort, looks like it'd be super fun to drive. #ev

Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that there are now 201,180 fully public and shared electric vehicle (EV) charging ports. This is 68% more EV charger ports than the number of gasoline nozzles statewide, according to the California Energy Commission. 🤯

BYD electric car hits a record-breaking 308mph.

Better get your order in quickly, though. About US$235K, and they're only making 30.

We have a brand new (2 months old) #Volkswagen #ID3 car and I have very few positive things to say about it. The only upside is that it’s an #EV.

Other than that you need to send an absurd amount of data to VW, they accept the policies for you at the dealership, every setting (like AC) is in 3 submenus in a giant iPad on the dashboard. The few things not in the iPad are tactile button with only dim visual feedback.

And now the charging lid is stuck. A common problem on those stupid €35K cars.

Not sure how #Renault square being a 100% electric brand by 2030 with putting out a new Renault Clio in 2026... 🤔 #EV

I look forward to the day when concept cars have tires again. Especially for EVs, which suffer significant efficiency losses with low-profile tires. (Well, every car suffers those losses, but I just care more with EVs because efficiency is such an advantage over gassers.)

Meet the Massachusetts-made boat that never needs gassing up

https://www.masslive.com/news/2025/08/meet-the-massachusetts-made-boat-that-never-needs-gassing-up.html

Entrepreneur James Worden believes "lithium ion batteries, electric outboard motors, lightweight carbon fiber and solar panels have advanced enough — and come down in cost enough — that this prototype boat could be attractive to purchasers who operate water taxi or ferry services on busy harbors, lakes or rivers, where its top speed (today about 10 miles per hour) is plenty fast."

Just got back from an unplanned 1400 mile (2200 km) road trip in a Nissan Leaf. It was… mostly fine? We spent more time wrangling kids than waiting for it to charge, fwiw. August heat plus a passively cooled battery did mean we got throttled to just 20 kW for a few charges which was annoying, but again didn’t ultimately cause too much strife.

I wouldn’t recommend a Leaf for road tripping, but an EV with an actively cooled battery (and a bit more range) would be totally fine.

The most boring and generic car you could possibly own around where I live is a white Tesla. I've noticed lately just how many of them there are. I sometimes see several of them in a row.

I just went to the paint store, a 13 km round trip, and I counted 10 of them. Including 3 in the parking lot by the store which had 20-25 cars in it. 😁
