10 mins. LUL

Prepay for gas on my phone, takes about a min to fill up and then I'm gone. You gotta be foolish to line up 10+ mins for gas when there's a "shortage" or if the price drops by three cents.

Hmmm maybe if I had 150L tank it may take that long but generally it's a few minutes and out.

That said, I have sat at Market Crossing for 4 hours charging a Nissan Leaf. Shitty thing was another vehicle pulled into the other port slowing down the charge rate lol.

Was on the Departure bay ferry to Vancouver in my parents model Y. Was Nice to have the heat ncluding the seats and the screen on the whole time. Used about 15Km of range.

Guy at Hyundai said 12 months wait for a top ioniq5, all cars on the lot are all spoken for.
$62k + 15% for a ultimate
Drove one today and it was surprisingly quiet inside.

Watch the news yesterday. Hydro says on Xmas eve and Xmas day lower mainland broke records consuming over 10,000 MW of electricity. Still urging public to use electricity on off peak hours. Funny thing is, they have been doing this for years and we still not even fully electric yet. Wait till everyone is charging their electric cars at night.

Well the population keeps increasing too, higher density housing… what do they expect

Traum 12-29-2021 08:53 AM

If everybody were really charging at night, I don't think the problem will be too severe even if a far higher number of EVs are adopted. But you just know that not everyone can charge (their EVs) at night. So it is still gonna be a shxt show unless Hydro ups its power generation capacities.

Also, I'm sure Hydro is going to entice its customers to switch over to a peak / off-peak billing system to encourage distributing more load to the off-peak hours.

Not knowing much about the Ioniq5 ... this seems reasonable if you're in the market for one, $54K for immediate delivery.

For those who have EV vehicles I'm curious.

Do you find yourself charging them everyday?
Do you like to keep your battery topped off?
Do you find yourself using the complete range of the battery?
Do you use only 20-80% of the charge capacity?

I'm curious because this just might be me but I find myself only using the top 20-30% of battery and I tend to plug it in every day as I only have access to a 120 outlet.

Tesla Model 3 LR AWD

Do you find yourself charging them everyday? No, there is no need for me as I only drive about 100 km per day.
Do you like to keep your battery topped off? Nope.
Do you find yourself using the complete range of the battery? No, I usually charge it when it gets down anywhere below 30%.
Do you use only 20-80% of the charge capacity? I charge the car to 90%.

Concept looks really cool, hope they deliver on the final product.

JDMDreams 01-09-2022 11:08 AM

I thought frisker is owned by da Chinese now, I don't see why they can't turn it around. I haven't seen any lucids in the wild yet.

Mmmmmm $1.769 for that 87 FeelsBadMan

I haven't seen measurements for this but kind hoping it's not as big as the Odyssey or Sienna. I would assume EV packaging means it can be smaller.

JDMDreams 01-09-2022 05:57 PM

I saw a white ioniq 5 drive past today looks real weird with the plastic grey black lower cladding. Looks 4x4 off the ground like the new WRX. :okay:

CorneringArtist 01-09-2022 07:19 PM


Honda just unveiled the new Stepwgn hybrid. Definitely not getting it here, but I would sure as hell own one if they did.

A wider version of this for our markets would be so awesome. I would totally be in for something that easily seats 3 across. I love me the Mazda 5 and this would be a great substitute. Love the box.

Correct. Owned by some Chinese company.
They were reproducing the car for a while. Not sure if they actually sold any as the technology was so old.

Didn't see anyone post it but I saw an article about a company that retrofitted their new battery packs into a Tesla.

200 kwh. Close to 1000 kms of range.

dark0821 01-10-2022 03:23 PM

^ if the 3rd party pack can still take advantage of the super charger network, then that is a huge win

cant imagine trying to charge 200 kwh at home... lolol even with a level 2 charger, you charge at maybe 5-6kwh/hr

I have a lot of friends who don't have charging at home (condo/strata can't/won't do it), and I don't recommend an EV for them. You *can* make it by charging at external stations, but even if it's a supercharger, it changes the ownership experience so much that it's not really worth it IMO.
