Would you have an electric car if you had the money for a new car and were in the market for one?

People become elves and cars reindeer. Jingle bells indicator alerts too!

Our cars are too safe, how can we distract people and cause some more accidents?

[Taipan]

Yeah but elves and reindeer and falling snow on the screen and jingle bells for an indicator noise. That's got to be worth a crash in anyone's book!

That's how you reply to questions you don't want to answer: call the questioner stupid. Well done that man.

You called her stupid, then pretended you didn't hear any questions. Who's the stupid one?

Shoulda gone to Specsavers, they do hearing tests now.

Why are you being so stupid? I'm not being aggressive, I've just taken lessons on how to not answer questions.

I can only refer you back to either of my previous questions.

Ford shitcanned the EV F150... That lost them $19.5 Billion...

So not a complete ban then

Bit of an update to the Nissan leaf, it’s still a great cheap to run car. Enjoyed it so much I’ve bought myself an ID Buzz van to go with it. I was still paying £250-£300 a month diesel in my van so that’s now £35 in electric instead. The ID buzz is superb, a lot quicker than the leaf as it has 282hp and 550nm torque as soon as you touch the throttle

As Mr Dazzle often said, it's battery tech where major improvements will come.

Stellantis and French battery maker SAFT have revealed an integrated battery system that is more efficient, smaller and lighter and cuts charging times by 15%.

Called IBIS (Intelligent Battery Integrated System), the battery incorporates the inverter and charger functions directly into its pack, creating a single module to deliver power to the drive motor-generator.

Until now, inverters – a key EV component that manages both power and the transition between AC and DC current between battery and motor- generator or battery and charger – have either been a stand-alone element or integrated with drive motors.

Likewise, on-board chargers are normally individual components. IBIS works with any type of battery chemistry or in any application, from electric cars to stationary systems.

What should we notice as drivers of an IBIS-equipped car? Stellantis says there’s a 10% efficiency improvement based on the WLTP cycle and a 15% power gain from 150kW to 172kW in a direct comparison with a conventional EV high-voltage battery.

Because the major high-voltage components are integrated into one, weight will be reduced by 40kg, and IBIS liberates 17 litres of space. Charging will be faster, too, dropping from seven hours to six on a 7kW domestic AC charger, together with a 10% energy saving making charging less expensive.

I like Buzzes. See tons of commercial ones in London these days.

That sounds more like a bad trade-off than an improvement, it depends on how often inverters go wrong as owners could end up chucking a perfectly good battery out well before it's time.

I saw two today being driven like they were stolen, one was black. Have you been to Sheffield this afternoon?
