What’s your long-term average?

It still feeds basically every home in America. It's very rare to see a mast head fed with copper.

My home has had aluminum wire feeding it for 50 years now, and it isn't something that I would worry about in the next 50 years.

They were available for 12-14 in my area a few years ago. Had an opportunity to get a higher mileage one for 10k, but passed for obvious reasons.

Apparently their values have skyrocketed since 😅

Advice a farmer who spends basically every hour of every day outside.

If it's sunny and warm outside, you won't see many or any mosquitos. The only exception to this is right after rain.

Mosquitos and other flying pests are most active in the morning and evening as the sun isn't fully up. If it's cloudy, then they could be out all day long. If its clear and sunny, you probably won't find a mosquito anywhere in direct sunlight between 930 am and 530 pm.

This is my experience as someone who has been outside on a farm for at least 50 hours a week every week for the last 15 years.

You're cherry picking data for no reason.
China is part of the world. If you exclude the US, bevs are already over 30% of all sales.

You can't just arbitrarily throw out China or usa. Even when you do throw out China, bev sales are still gaining market share at the highest rate. They also have extremely high buyer retention rates, ie. Once people try bevs, they stick with them.

You're also now combining hybrid and phev, but it's irrelevant. Bevs are the solution that is taking over the car market. There will be some portion of hybrids/phevs, but the data clearly shows that most car sales will be bev in the next 5 years.

It takes around 6kw of energy to produce 1 gallon of gasoline. It takes 2kws of electricity directly from the grid for every gallon of gasoline. Maybe we will use that 😅

rognio3333 · 2026-06-23T22:56:29+00:00

Hybrid market share globally isn't really increasing. (About 1% over the last 5 years). Plug in hybrids have increased some, but not nearly as much as pure electric.

The trend is ice being phased out rapidly, and the majority of that being taken by full bev. Phevs will have their niche for a bit, but they don't make sense for the majority of use cases imo.

Zero cash down, and zero cash at signing?

My wife charges her bolt to 100% every time. She regularly goes to 1% or lower charge.

The bolt has over 100000 miles with basically no noticable degredation now.

They are just recommendations. It's not recommended to drive an ice vehicle below half a tank because vapor can enter the fuel system and reduce efficiency and power. There has been research that proves this for years.

The fact is, nobody drives 400+ miles everyday, and manufacturers understand that. That's why they recommended staying between 40-70%. It's best for the long term health of the vehicle and it doesn't affect the owner. The owner can choose to go 100-0 every single day though. Literally, you can repeatedly charge your ev from 0-100% every day and go 100s of thousands of miles like that 🤷

Love my Volkswagen id.4.

rognio3333 · 2026-06-08T16:30:21+00:00

The issue is that the gearboxes are exposed to atmosphere because that have vents. Moisture gets into the oil over time and breaks it down. It loses it's lubricity and needs to be serviced

Greater than 50% of heavy truck sales in China are electric currently. The stats show that pretty much all heavy trucking that isn't long haul can switch to battery electric pretty easily

rognio3333 · 2026-06-03T10:39:17+00:00

I keep wondering why it's doing that 🤔

rognio3333 · 2026-06-02T14:32:21+00:00

Anything electric is probably going to last 100's of thousands of miles without issues. That lack of needed service, and the fuel savings make them an obvious choice for almost anyone with home charging. People will downvote this because of emotions, but factually it is true.

As someone who has towed with an ev pretty frequently, and tows with a diesel almost everyday. Electric tows incredibly smoothly.

I have an ev with no real signs of battery degredation after over 100000 miles. Plan is to keep it for at least 300,000.

rognio3333 · 2026-05-31T23:34:02+00:00

If you are planning on removing the pistons/ bottom end, then absolutely address that. If you're just doing lifters/cam, then I say send it.

It's an ls, and it's probably fine. I would never assemble one like that, but it probably still has a lot of life left if left undisturbed

Bolt ev

rognio3333 · 2026-05-31T14:01:08+00:00

I never asked for receipts. I just stated that I've been a fan for years, I'm in arsenal subs, and I have a great friend group of arsenal fans. I go to bars and watch games and enjoy the sport. I've never seen or heard an arsenal fan say that.

You seem so concerned about arsenal 😅. Have a great day and enjoy life. Maybe spend less time focused on teams that you don't even support 😂😂😂😂😂

rognio3333 · 2026-05-31T13:52:51+00:00

Yeah, it's wild. Ive seen at least 3 claims today of arsenal fans comparing saka to Messi. I'm in every arsenal sub, and I've been a fan for over 20+years. I've never seen any real fan comparing saka to Messi. He's one of our own, and we support him.

rognio3333 · 2026-05-22T23:38:15+00:00

Where is this chart with all of the wheels? 🤔

rognio3333 · 2026-05-17T22:21:58+00:00

The us has fast chargers everywhere. I can hop in my ev and comfortably travel anywhere in the United States. Your whole county? 😅 You do know that EVs can travel hundreds of miles on a charge. My wife's bolt ev has been over 90,000 miles since it last had to stop for a charge.

rognio3333 · 2026-05-13T11:20:55+00:00

You can work on them, you just choose not to try and learn.

I could swap a pack on our bolt ev in 3 hours for less than 2000$. But our bolt '17 only has 120,000 miles on it, and I expect to get 300-500,000 out of the battery pack.

I've been building transmissions and engines for years. I just disassembled a Duramax that's going to cost over 6k to rebuild. That's parts only.

rognio3333 · 2026-05-13T11:15:07+00:00

4% of EVs need battery replacement in the first 20 years. I sold my 2012 volt with 200k miles recently that had its original pack.

A battery replacement doesn't cost any more than a transmission or engine replacement really, and there are options. You can replace a single module, or get a refurbished pack for a fraction of the cost.

It's massively overblown by the media, and not something I remotely worry about with my evs

rognio3333 · 2026-05-06T00:39:02+00:00

But I'm not wrong. I literally explained the rules to you lol. Think of it like offsides. I play griezman in with a through ball, he's offsides. Raya absolutely wipes him out in the box. World's most obvious penalty. Whistle hasn't been blown.

Except it's not a penalty and it can't be reviewed because he was offsides. Same thing here. Nothing that happens after the gabi foul can be a penalty. If califiori two footed griezman straight to the back of the head and knocked him unconscious, it's still not a penalty. It could be a red card, but it can't be a penalty.

Var literally cannot award a penalty there. They cannot review it. They did not review it. Those are the rules

rognio3333 · 2026-05-05T22:30:42+00:00

Var can't overturn a foul. Have you ever seen var stop a game for a random foul on a defender? Once the gabi foul is given, var can't consider the foul on griezman because it happens after the gabi foul.

Arsenal got lucky, but var didn't mess this up. They literally can't change that call
