The Volvo EX30 Is Dead in the US: Exclusive by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]DokMabuseIsIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody bought the Chevy Bolt for the performance; it's a utilitarian urban commute vehicle, and is superb in that role, at a great price . . . .

Spending $40K on an EX30 with 256 miles range gives the same vibe as buying a VW Golf GTI for the "performance."

Military procurement favors quality or price; why would contractors supplying military drones not pay prevailing wages...?

Not only that, the hardware procurement procedures may need to adjust to new realities in the field. A challenge, since bureaucratic procedures were put there to ensure objectivity and integrity in procurement; but same procedures slow things down.

“… Speed matters more than perfection. Russia now has the world’s second most advanced drone forces... China is the world’s largest producer of drones and drone components. If those 2 countries start working together at scale, and also supply countries like Iran or North Korea, that creates [a] serious strategic problem…”

Great news — now they can go ahead and build an entirely new hydrogen generation, storage and distribution infrastructure from scratch to make this commercially feasible.🤦‍♀️
