This latest oil crisis will just accelerate world electrification. By the time another pipeline is built there may be no need for it.

Meet the new cartel. Same as the old cartel.

The whole family knew that mum's special boy was a nonce.

Doesn't even look like Carney. Look how many people fell for this and posted that picture on BlueSky as a rebuttal to Trump. That's the issue.

People are going to make a lot of money on this, just not consumers.

Or steal your sister-in-law's estate left from your dead brother.

I distinctly remember all the articles about Janet Napolitano treating the Canadian Border the same as the Mexican and the issues it was going to cause with trade and travel. She was appointed under Obama.

What kind of arsehole can even ask a question like that? F that guy.

He should release another Andrew Tate-style workout video...

Keep that POS out of Canada.

That's because these hired clowns are posting from foreign countries with english as a second or third language.

It's used for design concepts. LOL at people thinking this is an actual iteration.

It's marketing taking advantage of ignorance. The efficiencies with EREV are awful but it caters to the 80% of range-anxious drivers who will never need it but will use some low chance scenario to convince themselves that they actually might.

<Shrugs> Then I guess they're toast.

Adventure bikes are where it's at. Should be making FTR's in 3 different engine classes like KTM.

There's a youtube channel called Smart Riding Gadgets that reviews nav units. I ended up with a Carpuride 702 with a USB Type-A connection.

For me at home on a level 2 charger? Nothing. It's subsidized by carbon credits I get back. On a road trip relying on expensive DC fast chargers it's about $25 to $35 to go 350 Km.

This is just my experience though, it can vary based on many circumstances.

IIRC Flo is a Quebec-based manufacturer of EVSE equipment.

It was written into the Ontario building code that pre-wiring be required for EV chargers. The builders whined to Doug Ford and he removed the stipulation. That set back adoption just by itself.

You're awesome. Thanks for all the hard work covering the Leafs.

I saw one of those in Nuremberg parked at a Christmas market six weeks ago. It was ridiculous how much of the roadway it took up and in contrast to the other vehicles.

I love non sequiturs. Give me more.

I've met 3 owner's at charging stations. I always imagined divorce papers on the front seat mixed in with a restraining order.

Because being a pedo isn't a red line for Cons. Harper's bandmate got 2 years in prison for it.

As deserved, Tesla is done for. And there's no current Volvo or Polestar anywhere near 35K.

Amazing how far your career can take you after crushing human rights during a G20 event.

I love the Lightning though but I get it. IIRC they went Heat Pump in '24. Can you pre-heat on house power to cut down on heating requirements? That's what I do.

EREV is the worst thing you could buy right now. It's a niche answer to a small minority of people that would actually benefit from it. Get a mild-hybrid or stay with ICE until you're situation changes.
