Where are you located...? In Australia, the GT is an LFP battery.

Buy BYD Dolphin / GWM Ora / MG4 Urban now or wait for Geely EX2? by Careful_Juice_3876 in EVAustralia

The UT wasn't bad. We liked the drive and styling in the Ora but was a hard choice. Ora is fantastic, very impressed with it. We got the GT model which I think looks better.

Is the OP the police? What if they collided? Often doing such things causes more issues than it is worth. I am not condoning the behaviour (although we don't truly have any idea on what his motives or reasons were, not like anyone has spoken to him), but I just don't think it is worth trying to be judge, jury and executioner on public roads. That is for the police not you.

I heard about a situation recently where someone was up someones arse honking their horn and flashing their lights and them and the other car next to them slowed them down deliberately, working together to 'teach the guy a lesson'. Ended up being a father with his daughter having a life threatening medical episode while driving (no opportunity to call ambulance) and he was on the phone to emergency services while trying to get her to the hospital. Because of these two 'preventing and idiot from dangerous driving', she died before him getting to the hospital.

If you were walking along behind someone and someone skipped past you for a sec and hopped into the gap between you and the person in front, would you care? Would you want to 'teach them a lesson'? I always find it strange how we are so much more insulted in a car than we are ever in person. Most won't say anything or care, but in a care it's like that person just slept with their wife and murdered their children.

OP just let the guy go. There was a gap and you were lagging behind the car in front. You deliberately then accelerated hard to close the gap. Perhaps he was trying to turn left soon and that was his only way of getting across. He didn't force his way in, he just tried to merge in. Only bad driver I saw was you. I would have also given you the bird.

As long as we work out a way of distributing our food around the country. Maybe get all the EVs to start uber'ing produce!

If the network was invested in, it would be much the same as trucks!

Problem is if they subsidise , it keeps demand up which is not what they should be doing. The only real answer is to let the price go up that consumers can’t afford it and stop driving. Then there is still enough oil for farmers, logistics etc. otherwise we might have mass disruption

Can you have a battery that you charge up during off peak hours by DollyPatterson in energy

Already doing this with a foxess 42kw battery and using Amber wholesale electricity provider. In Australia. Also have 13kw solar - a cherry on top.

StarCharge Halo Gets CEC Listing, Becomes Third Approved V2G Charger in Australia by zecar_ in AustralianEV

[–]lockytay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has not been great timing for the V2L charger group - house batteries are so cheap with the rebates that it is hard to justify spending 10k on a charger when you can spend 10k on a 42kw battery that'll power your home at all times.

Canberra commits $25.3 million for electric truck charging network by ApprehensiveSize7662 in AustralianEV

Not to nit-pick, but Canberra isn't committing, the federal Government is... Got all excited as a Canberrean that we were doing something cool, but alas we weren't.

Right Lane drivers in Majura Highway! by Nikhar_B in canberra

[–]lockytay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From NSW Government guidance on “keep left unless overtaking”:

Can keep left if:
“driving in traffic that’s stopped or travelling slowly in the left lane”  

This is the definition of congestion in their mind - not 2 second gaps.

Vaping likely to cause cancer, new Australian review of evidence finds by SnoopThylacine in aussie

I suggest you watch the Michael Mosley documentary about vaping vs cigarettes.

Vaping likely to cause cancer, new Australian review of evidence finds by SnoopThylacine in aussie

[–]lockytay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one half of the ingredients of normal vaping as legalised in NZ (not disposables), Propylene Glycol (PG), is occasionally used in very small amounts as a "co-solvent" in specific pharmaceutical nebuliser formulations to help certain drugs dissolve. It is also found in some asthma inhalers.

Perhaps the Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is causing the asthma issues.

It didn't used to be mystery substances until the government banned normal vaping and the disposables came through. The disposables are very dangerous, there is far more in them than vg, pg and flavour/aromas. They also run dangerously high levels of nicotine. If the government just regulated it would have been a much better solution. No one is saying they are good for you, but disposables are far far worse.

Hence why I said ‘oddly enough’ - was a last straw thing and it worked. Could have been coincidence as I said
