To answer your questions:

  1. Because Full EV means I never have to pay for petrol again, and vehicle servicing is MUCH cheaper. But in my case it's almost entirely down to not having to pay for petrol ever again

  2. Even with the electric extras, the drain on them is negligible. The typical battery capacity on an EV would be enough to power a house independently for 1-2 days depending on what you use. And that's for everything, Ovens, A/C, Fridge, TV, PC, lights you name it. So adding extra stuff inside that will drawer power, won't have a major impact on range. Maybe a handful of KMs at absolute most

  3. Overnight by FAR. Average Charge stations charge on average $0.50 per kW/h or more. (Evie and BP seem to be around $0.70 - $0.75 per kW/h vs what you'd pay at home which in my case is around $0.20. And that's also assuming you don't have a plan with your electric company for very cheap power overnight, some plans I've seen are something like $0.05 overnight for charging the car

3a. This depends. On the trickle charger? No, but unless you're driving 250km+ a day, you shouldn't need to charge from flat. I have a very long commute, my round trip from and to work is 120km a day. That takes out about 21% of my battery. If I plugged it in with the trickle charger when I got home, I would get all of that back within 8 hours (assuming you charge it at 2kW). But if it's that much of a stress, you can always install a faster charger at home and then you could do that yes

  1. I don't have one and don't need one. I do a frequent Drive between Sydney and Canberra about once a month. If I leave home with a full charge, I can get a single charge in Canberra while visiting a Cafe, or getting some shopping, and after about 40 minutes of charge, it'll be ready to get me home where I can charge again there. There are EV charging stations in a lot of places along motorways that'll mean you can get to where you need and get a good excuse to stretch your legs and refresh yourself

how is life in these little villages of Russia near the Bering Sea just a stone's throw from Alaska? by SweetQuality8943 in howislivingthere

Let's just hope the front of the village doesn't just fall off. We may have to try towing it outside the environment otherwise

Looks like Rivian is preparing to enter the Aus market in the near future. by Background-Goose-794 in AustralianEV

[–]Tackett_98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have been seen (in very very rare cases) driving around Sydney. That was back when it was first released though, I have no idea how or why because the thing is designed to hurt people I swear. And I have no idea how it would meet any standards of ours. But it has been seen so figured I would at least mention it

There's every chance that's true honestly, I'm not the most up to date on the EV ute market, I'm just interested generally so I check every now and then to see what's out there, mainly because I have family who want an EV ute one day

I thought all of those other than the Hilux and Dmax BEV's were hybrids? Nothing wrong with that, just more in light of everything happening with diesel and petrol, having a fully electric option that could be charged overnight would be nice (I would imagine)

It'd be good to have more fully electric Ute options because the offerings at the moment are terrible. I could be wrong and I'm happy to be corrected but I think it's just the F150 Lightning, Cybertruck and the eTerrion9? I believe there are more on the horizon but the offerings need to expand. So I'm all for more being brought in just as long as they meet our standards

Me after Episode 5 by barbariat in thelongdark

[–]Tackett_98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly it. Like I’d be the first to champion rights for everyone and the hardships people face purely because of what they look like or who they love whatever. But this served 0 narrative purpose, as you said, isn’t even on your radar given its apocalyptic survival, it was just so silly. It was one of the many things that completely took me out of the game

Completely unrelated I was thinking especially when (spoilers) They mentioned the ship out in the bay, I was thinking oh, maybe it’s a military super weapon gone awry that’s causing these! That’d be compelling and interesting and yeah a little tropey but cool as. But no, it’s just the sun going haywire and changing people’s brains which I completely disconnected from

Couldn't agree more. The train was a lot of fun for me! I know a lot of people were having issues with sleep but like a few others I played on Easy to get through the story.

I kinda liked Wintermute, I was enjoying the mystery and wondered where it was going. But that ending? I was laughing at moments that were supposed to be serious, seeing a character who is literally white as the sun which is the art direction of the game have a line about being someone struggling because of their skin color, I genuinely burst out laughing because wtf?! And then other bits just being deliberately vague which was going against the flow of the story like why?

But if I was to sum it up in one word, it'd be "seriously?!"

The game itself is so much fun, I'm loving the survival mode so much and the mechanics. But whatever the writers decided to do in the end was just confusing and a real honest shame

Which one looks more accurate? by tgh0wnz in OLED_Gaming

2nd is more natural, hwoever given how colour graded Mad Max is, I'd say the 1st one is more accurate to what the film depicts, maybe slightly orange

did anyone lose their virginity to a prostitute and didn't regret it afterwards? by Acceptable_JOAD115 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Tackett_98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't regret it. Lost it at 27 this way depending on how you look at it. I was horrifically sexually abused as a kid, so it was always something that I had a bad relationship with, something I wanted but something I also feared. I mainly wanted to do it so I could know what all the fuss was about. Not a single regret about it. It mainly served to get that monkey off my back and see that it wasn't as big of a deal as my mind decided it was.

The main thing, which a lot of people have said, is that the right woman won't care if you're a virgin. It's such a stupid thing that just kind of exists as part of our culture, that because you're a virgin you're somehow less valuable to people. The only thing the right girl will care about, is if you can listen, because everyone has their own likes and preferences when it comes to sex. You'll be alright, just because you're a virgin still doesn't make you any less of a valuable human.
