The planet is dying. The planet is experiencing collapse.

All disadvantaged groups do. Climate change is a passive genocide committed by the wealthy against undesirables.

Buying used is not only more ethical, but frequently you obtain higher durability items both due to the era they are from, a known track record, and survivor bias (the best built last). I hate shopping, but second hand takes the sting out.

Shout out to McKay’s in Nashville. I visited on a recent trip and was not disappointed.

It is this, but instead of everyone needing to pay for stuff storage, we took the value of the stuff and trade to a portable, simple intermediary called money. There’s a reason why money was developed practically everywhere with more than the most rudimentary economy.

He is doing his part to make oil expensive and risky, propelling electric car sales everywhere on the planet but the US.

If only China didn’t burn more coal to produce and power those electric automobiles than the rest of the planet combined.

This is not correct. The human population continues to grow and is anticipated to continue for 30-50 years.

The UN estimates 10.3-10.4B in the 2080s. The US Census 10.6B in 2092. The lower end is Wittgenstein/IIASA SSP1 at 8.8B in 2055.

Ironic from the Sierra Club whose decades of disinformation about nuclear power, acceptance of coal to stop it and hydro, and secret donations from natural gas producer Chesapeake from 2007 to 2010 accelerated the climate crisis.

I managed to hit some v4 superchargers on my most recent trip, and 20 minutes from 14-78% was refreshing.

I’ve driven exclusively electric cars at home for the last three years. While they certainly make me happier on a day-to-day basis, longer trips are much more stressful.

I look forward to the day of common 1000 volt architectures and megawatt charging.

Unprecedented? It’s going to be the lowest figure for the next 50 years unless France gets serious about air conditioning and climate change.

There is plenty of coal all over the the US. There isn’t demand for it as its power is too expensive.

Per the latest Lazard LCOE, solar + storage, wind (onshore) + storage, and gas combined cycle are all cheaper than coal.

The exact figures:

735.5 MW AC 2,942 MWh

Verified from Minnesota PUC and EQB.

The highest solar irradiance per square meter is not Wndsor, but Lethbridge, and it won’t work there either so I can indeed exclude the rest of the country.

The Gosun is 10.9 sqm unfolded, portable so less efficient, will be subject to poor angles due to parking lot configurations and how it drapes across a car, driven some of the sunlight hours so only have 1.5 sqm on the roof, and needs to work in low irradiance winters when batteries will use more kwh/km. It will barely work year round in Las Vegas or Phoenix below average driving patterns.

I drive an electric car and lease 11 KW of a solar farm. I am a former solar professional. I am trying my best to save someone money and their job. Unless you come from a more qualified position or can back up what you are writing with sources, please heed the wisdom of myself and others here. I have no incentive to lie.

As a born and raised Canadian who worked on solar + storage solutions under Ontario’s IESO LT1, can you elaborate on what I don’t know?

I would assume they have to go to work in winter as well.

You are correct. I relied on my professional credentials, back of the envelope math, and logic.

Assuming you aren’t shilling, one of these was true:

1. This product can charge your car sufficiently for your commute in the depths of an overcast or snowy Canadian winter. This means your drive is quick and therefore an e-bike is a solution. You seem insulted by this possibility, but frankly it gave you the most credit.

2. This product cannot and you instead relied on the claims of a video selling something. Since this response is still predicated on those apparent claims and a reading comprehension gap, I will wish you good luck with your decision.

This is not a viable solution for Canada. It can’t provide enough power, is cost prohibitive, and prone to theft/vandalism

If you live in a major Canadian city in an apartment not too far from work, follow the lead of Fantuan delivery drivers and consider an e-bike with those hand warmers things and proper head protection. You can charge it in your apartment and no insurance.

Almost all heat pumps also use fans. It’s simply more efficient.

The difference in your diagrams is not related to heat pump/AC, but forced air v. water.

I hesitate to contradict you but they really are. Many use more efficient parts, but the mechanism is the same.
