So add infrastructure every town and each 200km (120 miles) on the highway to robotically swap batteries and charge the stored batteries (and so many stored batteries if it's storing enough for 500 cars an hour
As opposed to building chargers with standard connectors which can charge a car in 15 minutes enough to reach the next charger, 30 minutes to 80% (which is generally the limit in high traffic chargers)
I have seen the cages of propane tanks for barbeques and boggle at the idea of the number of 50 to 100kWh batteries a swap station on a highway would need to store
I agree with you. I charge at home weekly. I expect to have enough solar soon that I'll charge whenever the car is at home and the sun is up
When doing long (2 days of driving) trips I haven't had any trouble getting a charge. High speed DC chargers had few queues (I had to wait 5 minutes once) and motels have usually given me parking near a power point. I'm in Australia so over night gives me 8 hrs * 240V * 10A = 19.2kWh which is usually enough to get to the next fast charger
Swappable batteries might be nice but I doubt they'd be profitable (with home charging) with most just using it to swap end of life batteries for better ones
They'd be ok for people living in apartments or otherwise with no charging at home, but better would be charging in carparks at work
I would have been making beer today, since I don't go back to work until the Monday after the new year, but my friend I brew with had his leave cancelled and was at work yesterday and today
I worked for years in a data validation system. All day I was writing rules using the symbols and writing the decode of the rule in words - less than or equal to
It's a thought experiment with a static partly filled glass of water, it isn't in a process. It is intended to show the different ways of describing the amount of water.
In 3.5 if you're on a Con score of 3 (-4 modifier) and take 5 points of fort damage your Con reduces to zero and you're dead. 0 means you have no ability in that attribute
I only see people indicating backwards on roundabouts (indicating to exit when not exiting; indicating to stay on the roundabout when they're exiting). I presume they got bad instructions.
I can imagine that roundabouts might seem confusing. I have no idea how someone can get indicators wrong on other types of intersections
Strikes only work against corporations when it's that corporation's staff striking, and those people seem to prefer to have a job over becoming unemployed
For America to elect a Parliament and President that would regulate the health industry such would have to be put forward by one side or the other. Perhaps this assassination will bring such regulation to the fore in future elections
I wonder if he could be found guilty of terrorism if his murder trial is nullified. I mean how could he have done terrorism if he didn't do murder (I'm sure they'll find a way)
“God safe us” - [the] irony right there[... something? "is funny"? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.]
That clause was fine up to the missing commas. He's pointing at the phrase and saying that's irony right there. Perhaps you're unfamiliar with that structure. I don't think it's common in all Englishes
[hyphen instead of en dash]
That's pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes; if they're typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type
