Electric Vehicle is here to stay ( Archived) (37)

Everything made on this earth, is made from substances that were already on this earth. But with chemical processes we can make these substances more polluting.
And a good wasteless kind of energy isn't build yet. Solarpanels might be the best, or maybe they can build a system where the tide of the ocean is producing the energy for a whole country. But all these inventions will be out of date sooner or later, and then we can't use them anymore.
Maybe we should dump all our waste on the moon, but then again you need fuel for the rockets.

Of course we can take actions to produce less waste, like taking a bag to the shop in stead of asking for plastic bags, refusing fruits and vegetables that are wrapped in plastic, like cucumbers and paprika's. But the supermarkets should be the first ones to act. They say they can't sell a paprika that is having some weak spots. Well, maybe they can get out the seed and sell the seed to have people growing their own paprika's. (While writing this, I think I'm gonna try to grow my own paprika's. But maybe even they can use it as food for the livestock. Sell all the unsold food that's out of date to farms. Now a lot of farmers give sojaproducts to the animals. Soja that is been growing in places where the rainforrest used to be.
By giving more space to the rainforrest and starting rebuilding it by planting trees again, in stead of cutting them down, we might slow down the global warming.
But there is more we can do.
Why not let people order what they want to eat the next week a week before. Than supermarkets can buy exactly the stuff that is ordered, and people will have an app on their cellphone and collect their stuff, but nothing more. Or they may buy only things that is still good after at least 3 months extra on what they ordered. Less waste, less need for agriculture, more space for nature.

There is a lot we can do to change it all, without causing big problems.

They say some electric cars will really go.. Imagine the electric cars we had as kids, when you floored the controller on them, they were up to full speed in a split second... Woo hoo, dangerous..

My brother (during the Cold War) had a simple but very reliable Czech bike called a JAWA.

For some odd reason, a Harley rider swapped bikes with him. His cold-morning warmup sounded so different with the Harley.

But I suppose you go with what you know.

Within the week, he had his JAWA back and the Harley owner had his beloved Hog again.

S'Bogom.

They got torque and they move. They are attractive to own when you think about low maintenance they require. No oil changes, forget about anti-freeze, no transmissions to worry about, brake linings last forever considering the electric motor(s) can decelerate you and no exhaust system to tie up with bailing wire

No more bailing wire?? I'm sold..



Very closely related to the Porsche Taycan, Audi’s most powerful version of it’s e-tron GT is also similarly quick. Using the same twin motor system and trick two-speed transmission, the RS can deploy an overboost 637bhp (power is normally 590bhp) to deliver a shatteringly fast 3.1 seconds 0-60mph time. That’s not quite as fast as the Porsche (it’s also limited to 155mph all out), but it’s enough for this restful and refined four-seater to dust most internal combustion-engined supercars. A feat that’s all the more incredible when you realise it weighs a hefty 2347kg.
