It is bizarre how hostile to humans we build cities.

Reducing the urban heat island effect is the easiest countermeasure to mitigate some of the effects of climate change. A tree canopy is cheap with additional benefits to psychological well-being and air quality.

Yes.The Pure (base) is $72,000 delivered, plagued with issues, and subsidized so heavily the company lost $1 billion in the last quarter alone. This is reflected in some of the highest replacement parts costs in the industry rivaling ultra luxury manufacturers like Bentley. It is why residual retention is so poor even by EV standards.

This car is the poster child for my point. They put a powerful motor in, added battery to mitigate the lost range, then had to engineer around the weight at a price. You just don't see the full cost which easily exceeds $150,000 per vehicle shipped.

Car rental is the last use case for EVs. Most renters are unfamiliar with the region, have limited time, and rent to put on miles at a faster rate than owners.

It will take ubiquitous megawatt charging infrastructure and 1,000 volt architecture for this to change. We are likely ten years away in North America. China will get there first, but it isn't a large car rental market.

It is. Higher horsepower is predictive of higher driving speeds, higher collision rates, and more damage/risk per collision.

Even if it weren't, it requires a heavier motor and stronger parts be used in the car, increasing costs and weight, which in turn decrease range.

Not necessarily. The answer could be to make clean electricity prices so low that even normal gasoline prices are more expensive.

I'll hold until RDNA 5.

Europe and Asia are rapidly rejecting oil for transportation and I doubt it will ever come back.

If they can't work with the high prices Trump created with his war, they can't work with anything.

I hope they enjoy the long-term global demand destruction.

Yes, on the first screen it is an absolute total. On the second it is a percentage share.

So if something is growing, but slower than the growth of the rest, its share is declining.

This is almost certainly low, and the current Indian regime is unlikely to invest to reduce the count or even increase accuracy.

It is obsessed with GDP per capita, and it can be boosted by both growing the economy in the numerator and dropping the number of poor people in the denominator. Climate change will do the latter.

South Asian cities are some of the worst urban heat islands on the planet, and death traps in summer. Without mass air conditioning, it is no exaggeration that over one million heat deaths a year likely occur now, and this number will grow exponentially in coming years.

The world is not prepared for the mass refugees Bangladesh will create.

Then go to your HOA meeting and speak for amending the bylaws to allow them. It doesn't take much to get changes.
