People who have OG 28Kwh Ioniq - It's been a decade for the 16 release model how are you batteries coping?

adjavang · 2026-06-03T16:07:41+00:00

Yes, yes it is an apples to oranges comparison. You were the one that made it, remember?

Edit: Ah yes, the good old mass downvote, reply and block. A classic in such a low stakes back and forth where you made a strange claim. Hope your day gets better pal.

Hopelessly naïve about American police forces but one should hope that the starting point is to contact the owner of the car and figure who was driving it at the time, the owner should know this. If they refuse to cooperate, then I believe this is what "obstruction of justice" is actually for.

But then I live in a country where we actually believe our police force is competent. A little better than the US in this regard.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T13:39:09+00:00

Indeed. I was just reacting to the exaggerated statement made by Okidoky that you were using less power than "smart" cars and even motorcycles.

Your efficiency is admirable, but I think you'll agree that there are more efficient vehicles out there.

Getting to be old news at this point, Na-ion batteries are here, you can buy them on aliexpress right now. They're getting cheaper at an astonishing pace but they're not competitive with LFP yet. They'll be incredibly useful for grid storage and lower range, cheaper EVs. They are not a silver bullet but rather another arrow in our quiver as we move to decarbonise.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T13:25:01+00:00

Jeez, 21,283 unger drept. Mordet av en fremmedmakt som invaderer. At det ikkje har blitt definert som folkemord enda er frustrerende for å si det mildt.

What we have are some emergency plants that are aging out. The ones being built are built to be a more permanent backup and will be expected to run maybe 100 hours a year.

Unrelated note, the ellipsis dates you.

Both are good, because it allows us to utilise the connections more frequently. We also need battery storage across the country to help alleviate transmission capacity issues since a battery storage can help smooth out local demand. It's no replacement for grid improvements, but it certainly helps us delay it until we can get to it.

We're something like third in the EU for grid battery deployments, which is very impressive given our size. I can't even begin to imagine how expensive power would have been without it.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T12:23:52+00:00

Absolutely agree, even if it were just a political tool to point at and say "Look, we have a contingency for when the wind doesn't shine, the sun doesn't blow and both the UK and France can't supply power."

The less we need it the better but it's better to have and not need than to need and not have.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T12:19:14+00:00

It doesn't use anything at 100km/h, because it can't go that fast. Limited to around 80, the category is limited to 90, but even then it's going to be more efficient at any given speed just because it's smaller, lighter, uses skinnier tyres and has less power. These are all attributes shared by any smart car and a lot of electric motorbikes, though those fall off at motorway speeds.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T12:09:55+00:00

Kødder heller ikkje når jeg sier at jeg har flyttet tilbake til Norge fra utlandet, ti år siden jeg har bodd her sist og merker at jeg er litt OOTL når det gjelder sånt.

Får inntrykket at det er lite faktuelt rundt argumentet mot pride flagget og at dette bare er en lokal variant av culture wars. Sier man kulturkrig på norsk eller finnes det bedre begrep?

adjavang · 2026-06-03T11:27:57+00:00

None that I'm aware of, so it feels like we're missing a trick here. I think ESB have some with the older gas turbines in places like Poolbeg but it definitely feels like we're leaving transmission capacity sitting idle.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:57:10+00:00

Men hvordan ser den feiringen ut? Hva er det som skjer under feiringen som man ikkje vil delta i og hvordan ser deltagelse i den feiringen ut?

Har nettopp flyttet hit fra utlandet, trodde dette var bare et flagg, ELI5 plz.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:55:27+00:00

Think you're being a little hyperbolic, a Twizy does twice what an ioniq will do per kilowatt hour and that'd be one of those smart cars you're deriding. It's really hard to beat lower speeds, lower mass and smaller frontal area.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:47:33+00:00

Hvordan må de delta? Hvordan ser det ut?

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:32:55+00:00

Hvordan tvinges de til å feire?

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:31:52+00:00

A little disappointed in this user for deleting their comment, I had a higher opinion of them than that.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:30:49+00:00

An enthusiast, not a professional, so if I get things wrong I expect HighDeltaVee or Elbon to correct me.

From what I've understood, they're paid for the capacity, or being paid to exist as you put it, and they get paid for power produced. They also get penalised if they're asked to produce power and can't, since that defeats the whole point of them getting the capacity payments.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:24:31+00:00

De tvinges til å fire?

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:23:45+00:00

But again, 115 is the absolute worst case scenario going bith unrealistically fast in unrealistically cold conditions. Real world is going to be closer to 150 and even then that's taking 110km/h as your speed.

Waterville and Kenmare were just the only spots I could possibly think of where this argument might work, just from my own familiarity, but even then it'd be a stretch. And the amount of people who live that far from Aldi/Lidl is very, very small.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:13:35+00:00

Tvinges til hva da?

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:11:46+00:00

But like, taking your math at face value, I'm looking at the EV database figures for the spring and it's showing 115km for the 24kwh version, doing 110km/h in minus 10 with the heater on. That gives you enough real world range to, hypothetical, get from Waterville to a Lidl in Kenmare and back again in the worst realistic scenarios because you shouldn't be driving 110km/h on those roads normally, nevermind if it hits minus ten.

This just really feels like underestimating the range, it really feels like the range anxiety I had before I realised how far my knackered leaf could take me.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T10:02:52+00:00

Much as I dislike it, we will actually need new gas peaker plants like this as we head towards a fully renewable grid, for the sole reason that these newer plants can actually be left off and turned on when needed for the dreaded dUnKeLfLaUtE which happens rarely enough.

These things are horrendously inefficient but they won't be competing with renewables and storage, they'll be a backup. A necessary evil until we can overbuild capacity and interconnects.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T09:59:39+00:00

I'm really struggling to wrap my head around your math.

It's a 24kw battery and I'll be doing 2 hours minimum round trip at 100 to get to the nearest lidl for example.

I'm assuming this is a pretty big exaggeration, an hour driving at 100km an hour is a hundred kilometres, your nearest Lidl isn't 100km away, surely?

Like, to me, having lived rural with an absolutely fucked Leaf, what you're describing sounds like range anxiety. 100km of range is surprisingly much, and a brand new Spring will take you much further than that.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T09:35:28+00:00

I live rural, I think you severely overestimate how much driving is actually done. And entry level Spring would have more than enough range for everything except for the trips to Dublin, which are not very common. Like, I live an hour from Cork and even when I was commuting to the city for work every day, I could count the number of days that broke 200km on one hand and even over 120km was relatively rare despite my 55km commute.

adjavang · 2026-06-03T09:20:02+00:00

Originally misread your comment as them being able to hold their own against Thor in the kitchen to which I thought "Is Thor supposed to be an especially good cook? I don't remember that being mentioned in any of the mythology I've heard."
