AI has been everywhere recently. Sometimes the news is great! Sometimes AI found a new drug or a new way to search for a disease. Other times… Well… Sure… they look like the average Catholic Pope to me! So, what happened? Does Google Gemini know something I don’t? There actually *was* a female Pope once. And, it is possible that upwards of three popes in history could have been partly of African descent. However, seemingly no sub-Saharan Popes have ever existed. This, though, could be written off as an honest mistake. You would think that an AI would know that 99% of all Popes were white guys ..read more

Recently, Toyota has announced the death of the EV. Corrosion Of Conformity: Toyota Takes Aim At EVs With Ammonia Engine I was sad to hear about this, given all I’ve invested into the electric vehicle world. But, is there any truth to this assertion? Will ammonia fueled vehicles make EVs extinct? I have some doubts. Toyota has long been the buggy whip manufacturer that says cars will never catch on. Turns out, when your big market is internal combustion engine parts, everything looks flammable. Apparently, even ammonia. That is to say, Japanese automakers are a bit enamored with gasoline eng ..read more

EV owners getting fleeced at the plug?

Recently yet another article was posted that compares the price of charging an EV compared to an equivalent gasoline or diesel vehicle. https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-charging-cost-versus-gas-car-truck-suv-2023-7 But, is it true or has the author mined the depths for the highest quality manure? Well, from the smell wafting upon the wind, it seems the truth isn’t to be found here. Certainly many EV owners would dispute the premise that charging is more expensive than purchasing gasoline. But, do we have proof? Well, perhaps all I can do is present my own experience. Before getting a Bolt E ..read more

Jackie and I like to work in fun and entertaining questions during our guest interviews for the EVTV Experience podcasts. In fact, we have a pair of giant dice we roll with each of the numbers assigned a particular question. One of those questions is Performance or Environment. This week’s episode explores the perceived importance of environmental topics to more traditional vehicle topics with guest Leland Harden, Vice President, of Predicta, Inc. which automates competitive product intelligence using deep learning AI techniques. Jackie: Welcome Back. Brian: Welcome Back. Jackie: You with your ..read more

CCS is dead, long live CCS

It has probably escaped no one’s notice that Tesla is having a good month. At the time of writing, GM, Ford, and Rivian have all inked deals to use NACS in their vehicles. So, it looks as if the supercharger network has won and CCS is dead. But, is it really? Let’s take a peek at the NACS resources: https://www.tesla.com/support/charging-product-guides#NACS-resources Well, interestingly, this new standard has this tidbit: “Power Line Communication is superimposed onto the control pilot line while DC charging.” Hmm, well, it turns out that NACS uses CCS as the communications system. So, no, CCS ..read more

As some may have noticed, there haven’t been proper forums here in a long, long time. After the new server was setup a forum was poorly attempted by myself. Whoops, I messed that up! It became nothing but a pit of SPAM. So, those forums were deleted. However, time marches on and the means of communication change. And so it was that people don’t always find forums to be all that much fun any longer. People in the 20’s aren’t necessarily hanging out on forums these days. There’s a new sheriff in town: enter Discord. Discord was originally meant for live streaming gaming and talking about games ..read more

Now, don’t make a fuss dear, I’ll have your SPAM

As, no doubt, many of you noticed, it has been impossible to register for an account on our site and impossible to get a password reset email. Basically, no email related functions at all worked. But, as luck would have it, guess who did not realize this important chunk of information? So, sorry about that! The culprit ends up being Amazon being over zealous and me being oblivious. Who knew the spam was a big problem with email? Amazon, quite understandably, does not want to be the spam capital of the world and so they won’t let random web servers on their network directly send emails to peop ..read more

Kilowatt-hours per hour per hour per hour

Recently it was brought to my attention that I may not be as careful as I should be about the difference between kilowatts and kilowatt-hours. Yes, it’s true. Wash my mouth out with soap and slap my hands. However, our use of kilowatt-hours in the sizing and capacity of electric vehicle batteries does lead to some interesting problems. For one, people who are used to gasoline or diesel powered vehicles are used to measuring capacity in volume – gallons, liters, barrels, hogsheads, etc. They then measure speed in time units like “miles per hour.” Herein lies the difficulty. In electric vehicles ..read more
