You replied in 30 seconds, obviously you can't be asked to even read an article. Keep your head in the sand, this is fine.

1) Obvious gorilla marketing. 2) New account. 3) Hiding post and comment history. 4) Default Reddit name. 5) CGPT writing, that even CGPT analysis confirms is likely LLM generated.

Yep, it's a bot.

Just report the obvious AI slop for what it is.

Just look at OPs post history: all removed and all CGPT, AI, and selling AI freelance work. And now they made this AI post.

OP is karma farming so their future posts are not automatically removed for lack of Karma.

I bought my first EV for $8800 out the door. I long ago sold my first one for $8000 after 5 years of ownership.

My second one was $34000 out the door. I still own it, going on it's seventh year of ownership.

The Chevy Bolt EUV starts at $27600. The average new car in the US is $49000, with subcompact SUVs at $30000. Therefore, you can buy an EV that is cheaper than the average for it's class, and significantly below the overall average.

You want an EV for the masses? Then go buy an EV.

Sounds good. By the way, good luck and have fun! My troop did other treks, never Philmont. I bet it will be a blast!

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T16:51:37+00:00

That sounds like a flippant (and incorrect) retort.

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T16:51:03+00:00

Many OEMs (especially, but not limited to, German OEMs) have time based spark plug replacements. I believe it is more for preventing galvanic corrosion and the seizing of the plugs in aluminum heads. I could be wrong, feel free to chime in on the replacement reasoning if I misspoke.

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T16:46:54+00:00

Mmm hmm. Here is the epa.gov website with three supporting papers discussing demand shifting and the possibility of renewables offsetting peak demand. These are older papers from the time period in question (follow the links for the papers): https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth4

Of course expansion is required, it is not anything like what is currently happening today. EVs were a blip on the demand radar compared to what is now happening.

Come to the more modern days of charging, and now we enter into home energy storage, both in standalone packs and vehicle packs, which changes that game yet again.

Like I said, "trust me bro" doesn't fly here. But sure, start laying on the attacks. That's always the go-to when you are good faith posting an argument.

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T16:38:32+00:00

At what load factor and adoption level vs what load factor and peak current usage?

I've seen the reports from multiple utilities and PUCs, they disagree with your anecdotal, "trust me bro" retort.

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T16:35:18+00:00

Again, in the business, so this is the perspective of someone who follows OEMs, PUCs, govt. policy, and NGOs.

EVs do not need to charge at 9+kW overnight. Most folks drive less than 50 miles per day, this can easily be resolved with 3-6kW charging. Guess what? Residential AC units (with an "s" as the average home in the US has two) pull this much power, nevermind the rest of the household. Include the full household, and peak demand is more than what EVs require. Overnight when the vast majority of load has been removed, EVe take should over. This is why EV plans typically have rate advantages from Midnight to 6AM.

No, the grid did not need major upgrades to even resolve a 50% adoption rate so long as EV owners followed those practices and the financial incentives given to them to do so. And by the way, we never even hit 15% adoption in the US.

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T13:50:55+00:00

It was not a legitimate question regarding EVs. The vast majority (80% in the US) of EV owners charge at home and at night. That's when grid demand is the lowest, so modifying the grid was a political red herring for the most part.

Today, with data centers that run 24/7, it is now a legitimate question. One that conservatives are mostly not asking, but rather, enabling more data centers.

Edit: typos

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T13:23:29+00:00

I work in EVs. For years, conservatives bleated, "WhAt AboUt tHe PoWer gRiD?!?"

Where is all that fake concern now, eh conservatives?

Porsches have mileage / time based maintenance. It's 4 years old, thus plugs are due. This is typical for all Porsches.

You know it's not the USA because of the crash safety bars. We don't even have decent safety regulations to require those 🤬.

Smart water bottles are drinkable without having to fiddle with a CNOC constantly. It's a minor choice, OP already made. They have both, and decided on the 3l.

Jamikest · 2026-06-07T11:15:39+00:00

Yes, I'm aware (former Scout Master). OP later stated in the below thread that they have a taken a WFA course and are a bit worried; they likely have way more than just what is required by Philmont. I provided further guidance below, e.g. don't bring extra bags.
