Like way to kill your platform for anything educational where you want to pause to look at a graph.

Can you just give us the TLDE?

From wiki

Red Ventures is an American media company that owns and operates brands such as Lonely Planet, CNET, ZDNet, The Points Guy, Healthline, and Bankrate.[1] Red Ventures focuses on news, advice, and review websites.[2]

Seems pretty straightforward.

This is clearly only the ones that negatively affect them (the bar).

Urban dictionary says it's the opposite of "easy peasy lemon squeezy".

“Onlookers were trying to take selfies with the bear and he’s clearly not in the mood for pictures. The bear has shown signs of severe stress,” the post said.

It described the large male bear as “stressed, depressed, lemon zest” and urged the public not to approach a black bear at any time, “especially those that are showing aggression like this big fella”.

How are we supposed to take this seriously when they make jokes?

Was the idea to improve performance?

Seeing as China still burns fucking coal, I don't see how there can be a problem.

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that "actual numbers" as if mine aren't, so I'm not going to continue.

But I will point out I'm using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I'm guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.

Some quick math from this https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/09/22/how_expensive_is_it_to_charge_an_ev_in_europe_and_is_it_really_cheaper_than_gas_854618.html#!

Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That's substantial.

Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that's €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.

As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There's just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV's have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.

EV motors are so simple they'll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you've ever had transmission problems you'd never want another, EVs don't have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can't ever get that (on average).

Batteries yeah we'll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you'll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.

 

I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.

*After thinking about it, it's shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.
