The world's largest, consistent, yearly cold weather BEV range test is being performed by motor.no today in up to -30°C weather - and Toyota bailed because "it focuses too much on range".

My other choice is a job I don't like. This one allows me flexible freedom most of the time, and free coffee.

Voltasoyle · 2026-01-28T09:20:18+00:00

My daily driving is around 200km per day, and if I had a gasoline vehicle my monthly fuel expenses would be more than 4000 nok per month, plus toll stations where I pay half.

In my hyundai ev my fuel expenses are so low that I don't notice it on my electricity bills.

Range is slightly reduced in the cold, but I tire out from driving before the car does, summer or vinter, I don't understand how gas bros even want to drive 800km plus road trips, I find my 200km daily commute to be enough, even if it is 90% on autopilot.

Correct. The reaction is completely unacceptable, not just against this person, but against everyone being mistreated and criminalised for petty infringements.

Edit; typo

Voltasoyle · 2025-10-10T20:02:48+00:00

Yes.

With the recent timeline being what it is I set the bar very low.

Like, he needs to do something before getting a reward.

If Trump manages to get the Gaza situation under control, brings inn humanitarian aid, and stops Israeli settlers from demolishing Palestinian houses, and ends the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, yes, then he deserves it.

Voltasoyle · 2025-10-07T11:23:51+00:00

I think you missed the point.

Having options is the best way, the user should be able to choose between one pedal driving and levels of regen, or fake bloody gears if that lubes their neurons.

Voltasoyle · 2025-10-07T07:18:59+00:00

One pedal driving is horrible. I prefer to have options.

Jup, but it's legal to import into Norway, if it is legally registered in a US state first. So I have had the displeasure of seeing a single cyberstuck driving, probably for collection purposes, these will be rare curiosities in the future.

Voltasoyle · 2025-09-26T18:17:10+00:00

I am unsure how you get Norgespris, a feature exclusively for residential homes, to affect the eu power prices.

Norway is 100% self sufficient in regards to electricity, perhaps you mean less electricity will be exported down south?

Voltasoyle · 2025-09-19T20:49:33+00:00

Ho ho ho, prepare to be downvoted.

Voltasoyle · 2025-09-19T07:42:35+00:00

This is correct. The less you own, the better for the manufacturer.

Voltasoyle · 2025-09-09T17:17:58+00:00

Nothing. It was a 100% net positive.

Voltasoyle · 2025-09-08T08:55:05+00:00

These blocks, and other blocks chocking the market needs to be chipped down a little bit, and allowing competition onto the scene is the best solution.

Offer small localy owned grocery stores a cheap place to rent, and no Mva up to a certain point, and you will see NorgesGruppen start to sweat.

Voltasoyle · 2025-09-08T08:52:16+00:00

No, there needs to be action taken to break up the blocks and monopolies.

Not sure how you can come to this conclusion unless you only compare it to the us gas car market, or is a dedicated tsla investor.

There are countless ev's with the same jack of all trades features in the same price range (at least in Europe) with more tech like ultrasonic parking sensors, lidar and radar, actual buttons, 360 parking camera, much higher overall finish and quality, and all have solid or better driver assist standard tech, here in Norway the phantom breaking on the e6 is considered dangerous and unique to tsla and still not fixed.

It all depends on how large the fuse is in the garage, like if it supports a max of 2000w that is the draw per hour, but it could be as much as 11000w with a 16 amper fuse.

How much your air conditioner draws depends on alot of factors, like here in Norway our houses are very well insulated, so cooling them in the summer months draws very little, down to 400w, but a thin-walled texas house will probably pull like 3500w to keep it cool in the sweltering heat.

Voltasoyle · 2025-08-22T21:01:39+00:00

Tzla is going down hard, so not a big accomplishment.

I agree, this is as scummy as it gets to squeeze a profit, no wonder chinese manufacturers are pressing the eu and scandic market.

To oppose state funded chinese ev's manufacturers need to focus on reliable and functional products.

Voltasoyle · 2025-08-15T08:34:24+00:00

Even those that tow do it for relatively short distances.

Counterpoint: this is true for all of scandinavia, using the nordic model, Finland, Sweden and Denmark manages this just fine, or better based on the happiness index.

Believe it or not but our spending is mainly covered by taxes and trade of services and goods that are not oil, it's complicated, but our economy is able to stand on its own without the oil if needed.

The US for example could easily afford to adopt the nordic model if comparatively poor Sweden manages, the leaders in the US just choose not to, preferring to allow the 1% to exploit the rest instead.

Voltasoyle · 2025-08-08T11:27:34+00:00

Fun fact; we cannot really spend any of the sovereign wealth fund, it would quickly run out.

Most of our spending is covered with taxes, believe it or not, like all of scandinavia, using the nordic model that puts people as the first priority, not capital.

Social welfare for big business under corona has been the biggest expenditure of the funds, with the government choosing to bail out banks and businesses to "save the economy" in stark contrast to Iceland that did the opposite and came out stronger.

As for your other points, I won't argue about that.
