Reply to comment by iNfANTcOMA in New Nio 500 kW ultra-fast Power Charger 3.0 can charge a car from 10-80% in only 12 minutes by Surur
I'm saying i stop to charge and do other things at the same time, like going to the toilet, having some food or whatever i want to do. I mean i don't even need to stop and refill specifically since it's all done whilst I'm doing other things, like sleeping at home or watching a film at the cinema.
Meanwhile you are still at the pump. I'm in and out having done what i need and off whilst you are still having a shit after spending that time at the pump.
Except as i said, I'm not stopping to refuel at all, i have no need to. The only time i would is on long road trips where you need to stop for things like toilet and food.
And if you need to go 20 miles it doesn't matter if you can go further. As long as 80% gives you the range you need, why does it matter that it's not "full"?

A few seconds to plug in and then go and do other stuff rather than a few minutes stood by the car filling it up before i can do the other things i need to?
And "full" is a pointless metric, all that matters is how much range you get.

Idk, 15-20 years will see new ICE vehicle sales banned in huge parts of the world.
I think it'll be a lot quicker than that but i understand the USA in general is a long way behind the UK (where i am) on this transition.

Yes, you are right, I wasn't aware that some countries have higher limits before today.

Electricity is a lot cheaper than diesel, especially in Europe and especially if you can hook up solar panels at your depot or a wind tubine shared by an industrial estate kind of thing.
Can't see a price for this compared to a standard diesel cab but somewhere there will come a break even point.

I mean surely Renault must say that somewhere, it's got to be vital for a lot of trucking companies to know exactly how much weight load capacity they have. I expect it's quite high so they are trying to downplay it to get initial interest.

I don't think it weighs 44t.
44t is the maximum total loaded weight for a lorry in the EU. (Vehicle plus load)
https://www.thetruckexpert.co.uk/renault-trucks-unveils-its-electric-t-and-c-models/
Here it describes it as a 44t lorry which means it's classed as a vehicle that can go up to that weight, bearing in mind that there are different licences you need to get as you go up weight limits.
I think the article has misunderstood what Renault mean when they call it a 44t lorry. If the cab alone weighed that, it would not be able to carry any load.

I'm assuming they only supply the cab so they can't give a load capacity beyond 44t, since they won't know the trailer weight.
I'm pretty certain the article OP has linked had misunderstood what Renault mean when they say it's a 44t lorry. This refers to the total load plus vehicle weight maximum, which is a maximum of 44t in the EU.

Reply to comment by anonkitty2 in [OC] Qatar's Migrant Deaths During FIFA World Cup Stadium Construction by Metalytiq
This is the world cup, not the olympics. Most countries who host the world cup do so using existing stadiums, maybe building one or two which will go on to be used as a national stadium or by an existing team or two.
Qatar is definitely an anomoly in that regard.

Reply to comment by ledow in UK: Electric car drivers must pay tax from 2025 by nastratin
Except that then you are taxing all sorts of electricity usage which simply do not have the same external costs as the air pollution and road wear that cars do.
Car usage needs to be taxed at a much higher level than things like lighting or heating a home.

They left the scene, that makes them a villain and the death something beyond accidental or even negligent.
Panicked or not that was a deliberate choice and they are rightly being painted the villain for it.

It would be nice to have different words for the singular they and plural they, but I don't think xe/ze is it, nor do I think it's a big issue since context usually makes it clear, but not always.
