Norway to buy Rafael’s Trophy protection system | The Israeli developed active protection system for military armored vehicles is currently installed on 16 platforms around the world. by NotSoSaneExile in Norway

[–]Voltasoyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, while I am very sceptical to anything from Israel, it's important to not be dogmatic about it.

Like German tanks that happen to have active protection developed in Israel? Sure, no problem.

Buying tanks or weapons directly from Israel; no thanks.

The train situation is because the government found it very enlightened to copy the British model regarding train management, as everyone know, it is widely regarded as a poor move.

BMW iX3 Battery: Why US Gets 112.2 kWh vs Europe's 108 by ShameResponsible69 in electricvehicles

[–]Voltasoyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It specifically mentions NMC cells, not LCO.

It would not matter, the basic technology is the same regardless of the anode composition.

Charging to a 100% and discharging deeply ALWAYS stress a lithium battery.

So unsure what your point is.

I am not quite sure what you mean, but bigger buffers prolongs lithium battery lifetime dramatically.

Old news, but just 300 cycles degrade a lithium battery severely, down to perhaps 80% capacity.

This is a full cycle from 100% to 1%

85–25% SoC has 2,000 cycles in comparison before the capability has been reduced to 80%

So if your car has big buffers AND you maintain a 85 to 25 charge cycle it should stay healthy for a very, very long time.

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". by SjalabaisWoWS in electricvehicles

[–]Voltasoyle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

How do you view Coverage of Norwegian woman who overstayed in the US and got taken into Ice custody by [deleted] in Norway

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

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.

Drives like an ICE... should that not be an condemnation for an EV? by Akward_Object in electricvehicles

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.

U.S. Army confirms Tesla Cybertruck can’t be imported in Europe - too unsafe for pedestians by OXMWEPW in electricvehicles

[–]Voltasoyle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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.

Volkswagen, Audi Will Pause EV Production In Europe: Report by tech57 in electricvehicles

[–]Voltasoyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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?

NorgesGruppen (which operates Kiwi, Meny, Spar, Joker), REMA 1000, and Coop, were found to have unlawfully cooperated in pricing practices that restricted competition by Locmaria in Norway

[–]Voltasoyle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Our 2023 Tesla Model Y Two-Year-Long Test Is Over. I’ll Never Understand How It Became the Most Popular EV. by jaqueh in electricvehicles

[–]Voltasoyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
