A survey of 10,000 #EVs for battery degradation provides interesting data, dispelling a common myth, over 100,000km, EV battery degradation is very low, with 97% being the best, and 92% the worst. average Australian drives 13,000km a year, even after 7 yrs, batteries are fine.
Dang that some expensive H2O!!
Oh wait…
Geely have destroyed the #Evs are not affordable argument with the EX2 announced for Australia, priced from just $26K, and rage from 250km to 345 for the $30K model. expected to arrive July 26! so, very soon! and it has a FARTMENT!
Quite a nice sunrise this morning
Will the MG2 come to OZ? take the top spot in the small #EV market from BYD? i certainly hope so! and really hope MG have the courage to make it look exactly like these!
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 12 The ICE Age is Officially OVER, Australia’s petrol & diesel just peaked and is shrinking. EVs are flooding in, Lexus slashed $42k off their flagship, Volvo’s building heavy electric trucks in Brisbane, and XPENG is bringing the heat. open.spotify.com/episode/27DB...
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 11 what is the toxic waste? EV batteries get recycled. but if you are concerned about toxic waste...

Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 10 This is part of the reason I don’t use #FSD14 while driving on country roads near home at night 100kph zone. Minimum FSD will go is 90kph on sloth mode. 80kph is sweet spot to be able to stop easily. Auto high beam off when you hit brakes or disengage autopilot is annoying
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 10 With the worst start to the Aussie ski season in many decades. Some are arguing it’s not climate change as last year was a “good” season…. As someone who has been skiing in Oz since the 80’s, last year was a far from good season last good season was a few decades ago.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 9 Charging for #EV towing trailers! (Yes they can do that). At the new @Tesla South Nowra Supercharger site.

Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 5 What do you mean there’s no toilet paper? It’s right there.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jul 3 Was a pretty decent sunset today. Even if it was 4 degrees C and windy.

Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 29 You think this would have been more than enough for men to take climate change seriously. 6 yrs on, apparently not. Still smashing out those heatwave records.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 23 I heard rumours. But it’s reality. New Supercharger site in South Nowra. The NSW south coast is a fast charging desert but progress is happening despite the EV will never work opposition that many here seem to have.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 20 The Model 3 got a new set of shoes. the Bridgestone Potenza RE003 lasted 52,000km. (Without being rotated their entire lives) pretty happy with that, replaced now with Potenza Sport. apparently the next level up for grip, and designed for higher power vehicles and performance SUV's

Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 19 Another massive #EV advantage. Brake pads can now last the life of the vehicle. My Model 3 performance is now at 200,000 km, and the brake pads are factory original and still look like this.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 19 200,000 km time for some new shoes. Last set of Bridgestone Potenza Re003 lasted 52,000km. No you do not need EV specific tyres as long as the meet load and speed ratings.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 19 Regional EV spotting in the wild . Bathurst.

Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 18 I'm going to say it...
I think the new Audi looks a little like a Cybertruck has inspired it.. (not an EV sadly)
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 15 Chery Lepas L6 #EV SUV coming to Oz. more specs to come, though rumours are around a 450km est range.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 15 Ford "Ranchero" #EV ute spied in the USA, no idea on specs, though windscreen look to be quite more forward than usual, no frunk maybe? and short bed, so assuming aimed at the city ute market?
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 14 Overnight yard maintenance crew has arrived early this afternoon.
Sydney EV@sydneyev· Jun 14 Yes Kangaroos are nocturnal. They sleep all day. And eat all night.
