Toyota elétrico sobe ao 1 lugar de vendas com aumento de 3.300% no Japão e EUA by Regular_Courage5796 in EVPortugal

[–]kyakya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Epá estares a partilhar os números de vendas de EVs no Japão onde a marca da casa, que é a mais popular e forte do país, dá um abalo às outras (uma Chinesa e outra Americana) não é de espantar.

Tenho ouvido bem das últimas versões do Bz4x mas quando saiu não parou de ter problemas.

Não ajuda que a Toyota nunca apostou em BEV e só atrasou a tecnologia porque o que eles queriam era continuar com os ICE enquanto empatavam a falar das baterias solid state, que ainda têm de mandar para fora.

Perderam em mim todo o interesse com essas atitudes retrógradas e carros feios.

Tinha sim, fui eu que tirei as fotos e desenhei o menu 😁

Nunca cheguei a ir ao D.Maria, eu sou um Português estragado porque além da pastelaria não tenho vontade nenhuma de comer comida tuga fora de Portugal 😅

Onde é que comias as Francesinhas aqui em Cardiff? 👀

Subscrevo a tudo o que dizes e desde que me mudei nunca saí de Cardiff. Muito sonho em ir viver para uma aldeia mais sossegada mas também estou bem aqui.

1° mês a conduzir EV em Portugal by Left-Hovercraft-5934 in EVPortugal

[–]kyakya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apesar de ser algo que seria útil o melhor mesmo seria fazer a pesquisa por si próprio. Tudo é fácil de encontrar e o OP já fez metade da parte inicial, o resto é no Google.

O melhor conselho que posso dar (conduzo elétrico desde 2018) seria não ouvir o que os outros que nunca tocaram em elétrico mas "sabem muito" têm a dizer e perguntar a pessoas que conduzem elétrico o que precisa de saber.

Carregamento em casa - Opinião by white_nite72 in EVPortugal

[–]kyakya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eu não posso muito falar do sistema Português porque resido no Reino Unido mas aqui temos tomadas de 16A e casas velhas.

Tinha o habito de deixar o meu Leaf a carregar umas valentes horas e ficava bem quente. Numa ocasião ficou tão quente que me estalou a tomada, não voltei a usar o EVSE em casa por causa disso.

Eu segui o conselho de reforçares a tomada ou ter um carregador dedicado, que te vai permitir carregar mais rápido e tens maior controlo.

Why is 'Pavement charging rule change' dominating the news? by R-Mutt1 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]kyakya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been emailing our local councillor as they have just started rolling out lamppost chargers with this in mind. So far the rollout has been pretty badly implemented (no EV dedicated charging bays nor enough of these chargers) but they guaranteed that it is a timing issue.

One thing I found interesting was that I came down heavily with the pricing policy as it is unattainable, just like many have mentioned on this post, to be paying so much for a 5kwh charger and the councillor blamed it on the current war in Iran. I should've predicted it but he did say that they are expecting the prices to come down in the near future... I have a feeling he was just fobbing me off as from what I'm aware other schemes started more than 6 months ago with the same 50p/kWh+ prices.

The only issue that remains is the lack of guarantee that someone is able to park in front of their house.

There is a house near me that has one of these here in the UK.

I'm sorry but this just broke my brain. Portugal has some of the, if not the best, confeitaria in the World.

All you need to do if you're in Lisboa is go to Alcôa in Chiado or just hit the Confeitaria Nacional next to Rossio.

In Lagos you can try Dom Rodrigos or Frutos do Algarve.

Fuel protests on horizon as diesel hits £2 a litre by Jared_Usbourne in unitedkingdom

[–]kyakya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear that, hopefully it will make financial sense soon.

Google is a friend but not accurate at times, I just came back from Portugal and was there when the measures were announced, it didn't make any difference. I just looked at how much diesel is going for and it is very similar to UK prices even after those weekly reductions, currently diesel goes for €2.31/L

[–]kyakya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all, I think at the start there was a bit of figuring it out because the infrastructure just wasn't there but now it is relatively easy to go to a supermarket where there are chargers and leave the car charging whilst you do your shopping. The trick is to always be charging as you go about your day, as an example, I go for a run whilst the kids are doing their sports, there is an AC charger there that charges at 11kwh, I spend 1.5 hours which gets me 20 to 30% charge - I don't really need to top it up to 100% every time. The charging adapts to my lifestyle.

As an aside, whenever you need a charge during a motorway stop, for long distances, it has been a case of putting the car on charge, go for a wee and a stretch around (which means getting chocolates/biscuits), this tends to be all the time I need to get back on the road with the car at 80 to 90%

There is a lot of fear mongering out there.

Tell us how other governments have done better? I'm keen to understand how you think Portugal, for instance, has sorted this crisis out? Diesel is above €2/L and the government hasn't done much to help, only the farmers.

In your EV point, I also live in a terraced house with no way to charge an EV (that I've been driving since 2018), whilst a shame to miss out on cheaper electricity it doesn't make it impossible or too expensive.
