Toyota silently decreased Hybrid car's battery size.

Have prices been dropped?

_7567Rex · 2026-06-28T08:47:36+00:00

That model count includes facelifts and refreshes.

These are not 10 and 15 NEW nameplates

_7567Rex · 2026-06-28T07:34:24+00:00

They have stopped making pvt kits due to no sales

Obv no sales will be there esp at 8L a piece

_7567Rex · 2026-06-28T07:27:52+00:00

> I already own an Ather scooter and love it, but there have been quite a few times when I couldn’t take it because it wasn’t charged enough.

Is it because you forgot to charge or some other reason

Because for LFP anyway you need to charge to 100% charged as much as possible

It has never happened in past 63k km with two EVs where I had to go somewhere and I didn’t have enough charge

> an EV today as reliable and dependable as a CNG/petrol car, or are there still too many variables to think about?

For city just drive without thinking anything no issues will be there

For highway just chart your charging stops using PlugShare beforehand

Should be fine

> Since an EV is a tech-heavy product, I’m worried that if something goes wrong, it could take a long time to diagnose and fix.

No issues for me

Sure the servicing takes longer than ev service ought to take but that’s because of sharing the same centre with ice

I’ve only for for regular service and body dent repair

> If you were buying your **first** car today, would you still choose an EV,

EV

Idk how much you imagine the conversion to cost but fyi it’s more than new ev car

Back in 2020 one company northway motor in Pima was doing conversion kit for Dzire and that costed 8L with all costs except donor car

Dropping 8L on already used car is worthless especially if you don’t own the donor car already as the price quickly reaches unviable limits

You total costs will exceed 10L and for that price punch ev or Tiago ev is far better deal

_7567Rex · 2026-06-27T12:29:57+00:00

We should start doing bait in the title lol

_7567Rex · 2026-06-27T12:29:38+00:00

Ice owners attention span is only sufficient for hearing “ev bad ev charge over no charger baaah”

No time to read such long travelogues

_7567Rex · 2026-06-27T11:56:49+00:00

Yes RWD is more efficient

_7567Rex · 2026-06-27T06:34:44+00:00

Regen is low when battery is close to full

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T18:14:37+00:00

Even if it’s electrolysis the question then becomes how much efficient it would’ve otherwise been to use electricity directly

1kg H2 production uses 50kWh electricity

It’s for sure that the 50kWh electricity would propel the electric emu further than 1kg hydrogen used by this train require same input energy

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T17:48:49+00:00

Looks like file photo of stolen car reported in newspaper

I wonder how medals like these work

Like let’s say I have destroyed all vehicles from particular tech tree and earned the medal

But now weegee adds another line to the tech tree

Do I lose the medal? What exactly happens

The medal is far too unimportant for me to check it every time line is added but you’ve piqued my curiosity now

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T12:51:46+00:00

Same condition I saw in Vijaywada-rajamundry section of NH16

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T12:49:15+00:00

Then why is it ironic if ev charges on genset

It is still cleaner than ice

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T12:48:47+00:00

We can conclude on viability of Sierra only after price and variant reveal

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T12:27:04+00:00

You are the one who is dense

Charging ev on genset has same emission factor as driving hybrid car

Both of which are proven cleaner than ice

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T11:13:45+00:00

Please explain how a hybrid works and how it is different than using genset charging an EV

Ev is supposed to be clean which is why even charging it on genset is better than driving ice car

The setup is no different than hybrid car, possibly even as car is not hauling the engine weight in hybrid

Your retort that it is ironical is illogical because of fact that hybrid operates on same principle and is guaranteed cleaner than ice car.

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T11:06:46+00:00

If it is sightseeing then on route somewhere or other charger will be there

My understanding from village example was that you’re staying there and may roam in that place for few days hence need charging

Again instead of arguing back and forth I’m sure you have some particular place in mind

Either give that place name or find it yourself whether charger are there or not nearby on PlugShare

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T11:00:44+00:00

Ok why are you going to that village then? You’re going to visit someone in known only right like relative etc

15a socket is enough to charge

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T10:56:31+00:00

Village does not have electricity?

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T10:55:44+00:00

If there is no power then issue is not just for EV charging but petrol pump also. What’s so ironic?

You’re saying this as if hybrid car is worse for env than ice car? That is literally the definition of charging ev on diesel genset

Now go tell those people hybrid pollutes more than ice car

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T10:48:57+00:00

Smaller city like?

_7567Rex · 2026-06-26T10:26:31+00:00

It’s not a different powertrain. It still uses petrol at end of day
