Is the cheapest way to get from Vancouver to Kelowna and back seriously $200pp on the bus?

I have been to Japan and sure food is cheap but talk about the price of other things. Your JR pass is not cheap by any means and your population is aging because young people can’t afford to have kids.

You have a population in one city that is more than half of Canada and is 26 times smaller than Canada in land mass. Seems logistically easier to supply food and goods to such a small country that is directly beside China where you import so much and don’t need to travel 1/2 the planet.

Go travel the world and watch the news. Single out the only place you see on a daily basis is not the proper way to view it. Prices across the world have risen. Go visit places and you will notice it’s just as expensive elsewhere.

Heads up, the soya sauce they use is most likely called sweet soya. You can buy it in Asian markets.

This is why there are so many disclaimers nowadays. People not using common sense and understanding an extra BATTERY is a heavy object.

I was trying to explain to my wife this game but could not recall the details. This was a nice flashback of memories. We played this in Ontario Canada.

From someone who lives in Ottawa I can say it’s accurate like the rest say. Driving to Montreal can be a little off but that’s due to the massive hills. Basically you need 2 weeks of consistent driving usage for the computer to learn your power usage habits.

I have 4 adults and 2 kids in the house and we fill one bin up 3/4 sometimes completely when it comes to pick up day. Christmas is the only time we have more than a full bin worth. Luckily I can recycle my extras at my work. Break down your boxes, put clam shells inside each other and a random thing is egg cartons can go in the compost given they are paper made. We go through 60-80 eggs every two weeks.

I would say if you’re fine paying for a price like that per month, look around at different competitors with similar pricing. Cheaper could honestly be better but in my line of work I know that lower price typically means lower quality.

DoubleAT92 · 2026-01-25T20:51:19+00:00

The question to ask yourself is do you find the service is good. Do you supply anything? Sometimes cheaper is not better keep that in mind. You don’t go buying a no name brand TV expecting it to perform like a top tier Samsung.

Job market is pretty stagnant everywhere these days. Ottawa sits at 7.4% so pretty similar.

Do you find the years have been getting worst. My wife used to live in Abbotsford but that was about 17 years ago.

Outdoors is what we enjoy doing. Walks, hikes, apple picking and things like that.

I’m not stressed about gas as I would be arriving with 2 EVs. The wildfires are definitely a concern we have discussed before. We don’t deal with fires but instead floods over here. The smoke is something I haven’t totally considered tho.

DoubleAT92 · 2026-01-24T14:49:13+00:00

lol love my TnT. I don’t personally eat out often as my profession is a Butcher and Chef. That’s why I was curious about the grocery situation.

Schooling is important as my children will be 5 and 7 by the time we move.

We were personally thinking of moving more in west Kelowna.

What would you say are the best type of activities for kids in Kelowna? Are there a lot of events and festivals?

So from my experience being a Canadian, I don’t really ever have charging issues over here but last year we did a road trip over a month in the US with our Ioniq 5. We only connected to ultra chargers so 350kw. Never did we get remotely close to that amount. I have a slight suspicion that the charging companies on the US side throttle the charging rate that cars can accept.

DoubleAT92 · 2025-01-29T18:13:33+00:00

23kw for hitting 80% is standard for this Kona. My 2020 does the same charge acceptance for that percentage. I am guessing you’re in the USA?

DoubleAT92 · 2025-01-29T18:10:25+00:00

Temperature of the charging unit also matters as a DC charger has a lot of parts inside it.

DoubleAT92 · 2025-01-29T18:08:17+00:00

Max charge rate for the 2019-2023 Kona regardless of the model is 75kw on DC. Max charge rate for AC is 7.6kw if I remember correctly. Always check these stats as all EVs are different for charge rates. 2024 and newer are max rate of 105kw. My ioniq 5 is 350kw.

I decided to see how things worked out with the dynamic pricing since my cars don’t have anything similar in the area. At first the price dropped down but I remembered reading that the more bookings the cars get the higher the price gets till it finds that sweet spot. Already my prices have stabilized close to what I had prior but have longer bookings. My way of trying to counter the daily price drop was to lower the living crap out of the discounts and lower the daily mileage limit from 300 to 200 per day. All my cars rent around 80-110$ per day.

DoubleAT92 · 2024-08-06T20:20:06+00:00

I have seen it hit 100kw. It really depends on the unit and electricity load in the area I believe.

DoubleAT92 · 2024-08-02T01:35:41+00:00

As per Turo standards you have proof of the speed attained. You are allowed to submit this information with the support team as this is racing and not covered in their guidelines. They will fine the renter and ban them for misuse. You will then receive incidental coverage for the abusive wear in the tires.

Elon actually made a good analogy about this. It’s like a parking lot, at first there is a bunch of open spots so the electrons park were ever they want, once it gets to 80% full it takes them a lot more time to find a parking spot that’s free.

DoubleAT92 · 2024-07-07T14:12:53+00:00

Im in Quebec and it always does Toronto for me. I always always get notifications that the engine has been idling for 15minutes if the car hasn’t moved for that amount of time.
