Battery fires get more news coverage not because their more common, but because they are so catastrophic when they do happen. As for comparisons to gasoline, I'd be leaving the tank empty so that's not a concern for me.
I would prefer not to use waste rubber and money thicker tyres carrying around a huge battery I don't need. Worst case I can use those same tires on a car with a lighter battery.
Good point about regenerative braking, I forgot about that.
I've been hoping to get a PHEV because I don't want some 300km-range battery (nor the resulting fire risk, tyre wear, or brake wear), but there aren't any really cheap plug in hybrids. I'm probably gonna be stuck getting a used EV with an oversized battery when my sister's old car dies.
I'd write a list of future events and share it everywhere I can, editorializing of course to make sure them coming to volition validates my political views, and then use the eventual fame to shape the world in my image.
Ignoring that path, and with no political sway of my own ...
I've got nothing. I'd be like 5 years old and Australian. And overall Australia's doing pretty fine. If there's one issue I'd focus on it's digital privacy and my biggest adversary there would be Google. IDK, there's not really one domino I can affect to change things. Maybe warn about 9/11 and the subprime mortgage crisis but I'm pretty sure other people already did both of those to no avail. Plus I'd be 2 or so years old at the time of 9/11 so that'd probably not go well.
I tried that, Windows FOR SOME FUCKING REASON keeps opening new holes in the firewall anyway.
I'm not really interested in maximum privacy, at least right now. I'm slowly moving there though.
I don't see many ads, and the ads I do see are never food items. I think this canned rambutan was the first food ad I've seen in years.
I can't even fathom this being a coincidence.
Except the only sites I visited where I mentioned rambutan were Duckduckgo, Startpage, and Wikipedia.
This isn't a matter for fingerprinting. I haven't directly visited any sites about rambutan other than Startpage, Duckduckgo, and Wikipedia.
I should've known that but forgot. You're right, my ISP shouldn't be able to see anything but that I visited Wikipedia. They wouldn't know that I searched for rambutan.
Oh, looking it up they do come to about the same weight in the end (information that was very difficult to source BTW). Guess that eliminates much of the entire point of this. All I would need is 80km of range at most so I'm put off by all these cars offering 500km that I don't want or need.
I guess an old EV is probably the better option. With the added advantage that I'll probably get physical controls instead of a damn touch-screen.
