    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    BYD is not Tesla when it comes to model deliveries. Point is, why buy a hybrid when ranges are so high and fast charging so quick. Mind you the the BYD Hybrid ranges are nearly a single trip to Florida. There is this too.....$ 🍿

    Chasing where to stream Miami Vice 2006 came across this and have never seen it James Caan and others very familiar.. 🍿 Trailer Freebie with slightly annoying subtitles I can't lose. Were the 80's that grim .....:eek:

    Why ever would you want a hybrid now with 1,000 km EVs a reality? Makes zero sense. More cost and complexity for no gain.

    technology curing range...I can go out and buy a 1000km range EV right now. and 5 minute charging to 70% That's an unimaginable time frame given the pace of change in battery tech. Indications in new battery tech are that battery life will far outlast chassis. Eliminating lithium takes fire...

    No prizes on this one :sleep: Learned something new. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/d ... /food-coma I would wake up in the morning feeling lots of energy. If I had mostly protein for brekkie then no problem ...energy persists. But add in some carbs and all I want to do is go back to...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Waiting on EV moped or motorcycle with 150 kph range. That would serve me. There are charging stations around too. I doubt any of the EV motorcycles will get into my price range but emopeds looking very possible soon enough. Since I'm open class rider switching to these will have no issues with...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    My only caution is EV batteries are changing so fast these days ...hard to now when to step in. Even EV motorcycles are looking at 5-600 k ranges. :unsure: If that thing has anything left on the OEM battery ...even 50km range might well be a fun and useable project until the dust settles. Not...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Okay ride up the Gillies....very windy but will be nice on the way home. Swapped stories with the AirHawk seller. Stopping for steak pie at Yungabarra. Felt okay when I got home ...180 km pretty much non stop with the Gillies in both directions was fun and a workout. Did not get home until 4.30...

    Marc getting over 312 km on one charge on a touring EV motorcycle - 8 hours riding in multiple conditions, gravel, mountain, highway, town....impressive. Cars are over 1,000 km per charge and the cold issue seems solved with dual chemistry battery packs.

    Free is good. Fried chicken wrap just the right size for my Ozempic appetite. 10 gm of protein....go with my small slab of roll mop herring for brekkie. There is also a deal on for three of the above for $6 which is a lot of protein.. We like Hungry Jacks. Sometimes I score a free flat white...
