If anyone here has charged outside the tesla network for a non-tesla EV, the prices being charged for electricity is absurd.

I've heard rates as high as 45c/kWh. How can the government be hellbent on giving EV tax credits and incentives and turn a blind eye to the 5x markup being charged at charge stations.

Canada has several 350KW fast chargers that are 20c per minute. You can pull down 4KW a minute on many fast charge cars (Hyundai Ioniq5, Kia EV6, Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air for example). A drive-up 70% charge (good for ~200 miles) on an Ioniq5 would cost you $3.60 Canadian dollars or just under $3 USD. Electrify America's fast-chargers in California for example are $0.43/kWh - that's $26 USD for the same charge. Electricity costs in California are only about 50% higher than Ontario, so that doesn't account for the markup. Even with a paid monthly membership, you're still at $18 per charge compared to the <$5 cost of power.

Guess what - 200 miles on a 35mpg gas car in San Francisco is $23.

I really think some progress needs to be made on charge costs. Granted it's cheaper than gas and it's a free market, I don't think it's in the industry's best interest to keep on this track.

edit: Just checked PG&E's business EV rate plans... they max out during peak at $0.31/kWh and that is only from 4-9pm. It is $0.13 or $0.11 for the remainder of the day.

I have two apps for EV charging, one app for finding charging stations, two apps for parking, one app to connect to the car, and another app to connect to an OBDII bluetooth dongle. My PTSD flairs up (slight exaggeration) whenever I see a new company offering chargers or parking.
What a fantastic collection of shitty tech companies!
I agree, discussing why these two are different would have been a much more interesting and fruitful talk to have. Subverting the main message of a piece of art is chilling and terrifying and it is what we should be up in arms about. Instead we are talking about the cutting out of an inconsequential racist joke. There is certainly a spectrum between these two extremes.

Note that Knuth has written dozens of books and is perpetually making edits and corrections to them (not just typos, but often extensive rewrites while making sure that the book remains coherent as a whole): this is an activity that comes easily to him, so one can see how he can do it with programs too. The rest of us may find it harder.

But then again, we can ask: if we cannot keep the program's document structure as a whole up-to-date, then are we really editing the program properly? A major risk of introducing bugs is that one may edit a part of a program without taking into account the broader context, such that the integrity of the program is lost, and literate programming (which forces us to update "the whole program" every time) can be considered a mitigation of this risk… so IMO the greater time that it takes to update the whole program could actually be a good thing, saving time in debugging or whatever.

Edit: Also, part of the trick is to put only as much as you think is really relevant in the "text" part: literate programming does not necessarily mean over-commenting everything (Knuth doesn't either), it's just an orientation that what you're doing is writing a document. It's ok for most of that document to be code, as long as you think you've presented it well enough.

There still needs to be a terminal of sorts to enable charging, usually with a big touch screen these days, and of course it needs to be connected to power and internet. Can't be cheaper than a gas station style card reader - where gas stations sometimes even save on costs by having one card reader for multiple pumps or the whole station.

These chips are not fungible commodities. In the automotive space chips are selected based on a number of things including feature set - how many CAN interfaces does it have, how many GPIO, how many PWM, what kind of brown-out handling, what voltage range, thermal rating, etc... Software is then written where a portion of the code is specific to that chip. There are cases where an OEM get really good pricing on a bigger (overkill) chip and helps a supplier get those at good prices too, but usually they just beat you over the head for the lowest cost. Even if everyone adopted a few larger parts and used just those, they're still usually made by a single chip company.

The WiFi functionality on Miele appliances is completely optional. Just don’t connect it to WiFi during initial setup and it’ll never do anything connected or prompt you about it.

I wouldn't consider a cab "mass transit" though.
One thing I've been wondering is whether self driving cars could result in lower emissions by never exceeding the speed limit, and by driving more smoothly than a human operator. Additionally, I wonder if having even say 10% of cars on the road that never exceed the speed limit would result in most other cars nearby driving the speed limit as well, since they would effectively block non-self-driving cars from speeding in many areas. Speeding is dangerous for all other road users, so there should be safety benefits as well. Why not require all self driving cars to drive at legal speeds?
> The manufacturing of a car is responsible for a very significant amount of the emissions it produces over its life.

Nope.

The embedded energy in manufacturing a gasoline car is maybe 1/8th or 1/10th its total lifetime emissions. This is why EV's are so much better cradle-to-grave than gasoline cars -- yes, EV's require extra energy to manufacture the batteries relative to a gasoline car, but even so, that extra energy cost is more than offset within the first few months of electricity-powered driving, even if your local grid is primarily coal powered. By far most of a car's lifetime emissions are from operating it, not manufacturing it.

All those people, or more accurately the companies that employ them, choose to have the same operating hours, the same inflexible time policies, and the same insistence on going to a physical location to do work. Some of them won't have a choice of course - you can't really stack shelves or manufacture bits of metal remotely.

For many of the rest travelling, commuting, and working in an office is a choice. It is not a need. The fact rush hour traffic exist shows that businesses are inflexible and unwilling to trust their workers; it doesn't show a daily commute is a requirement.
Also important to note Tesla drivers don’t need to use the app for charging. Although it does have helpful features if they do, like being able to check on the charge remotely.

The described experience of selecting a charger, pressing start charging / stop charging etc. is only for non-Teslas because they don’t have the integration.

It's a pilot.

But, IMO, we should require ordinary credit/debit card access to high-speed chargers. Every time I use a Supercharger, I spend around $10 bucks, so there's no need to work around credit card fees.
Yeah that works out for buses to my surprise, but I'd be even more surprised if it held up for trains of any form.
Many don't have screens. Buttons are hidden when door is shut.
Too true, unfortunately. Also, sick patients are more profitable than cured ones. Preventative medicine is less profitable than treating a developed disease, etc etc etc.

The profit incentives in health care are perverse and misaligned, and in many cases delaying healing is more profitable than healing. This is why we need more world-wide government funding of research in curing and preventing diseases.

If hypothetically a mixture of apple juice and turpentine were to cure COVID, we may never discover that, because 1) such a mixture would be extremely cheap and easy to make at home, and not really patentable, and therefore unprofitable, and 2) there may never be enough government medical research funding to discover it.
Make that an electric self driving bus and the wages tend towards zero, being some clean/tidy/check etc. Even that can be reduced since you know each passenger and his payment card ID and if he dropped a wrapper/cup = added fee on the card - this invigilation would coerce people to dispose in the self emptying bin at the depot.
Thus a great economy would ensue and would dramatically reduce the costs = lower fees = more users.
Bus routes tend to run on good main roads(there are exceptions) and are easier for self drive systems.
Definitely middling quality and design. Our Bosch dishwasher has the worst UI. Nothing exterior at all, only buttons inside the door itself. There's a secret button combo to set the "done" alarm to one of 4 volume settings: too loud, even louder, why is this so f'ing loud, and silent. So you either get a horrible noise that rings intermittently until you open it, or you get to play guessing games.
Imagine you are a family with young children. You might live in a city right now - I live near Minneapolis where they've got a brand-new (like, less than 5 years old for most of it) lightrail system. It's shiny, it's fast, it's efficient, what's not to love?

Assaults. A 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted 4 months ago. Less than a month ago someone got attacked with a knife. Less than a year ago, three teens were arrested for repeated racially-based attacks. In 2020 (because we don't have numbers for 2021 yet), there were 51 aggravated assaults and 239 "other assaults" despite 59% lower ridership from COVID. And it's not just assaults - drug use around (or sometimes even on) the lightrail is a significant problem (276 reported offenses 2020). Theft is yet another problem.

I'm not bringing my family (or even myself) anywhere near the lightrail. I'd prefer to drive just for their safety and mine. I know it's worse for the environment but their safety is my first concern.

And such is the problem with public transit. It's easy to think of it as reducing load on the environment while forgetting that lax law enforcement turns it into a somewhat scary place to be with family members.
There's a bit of a difference between a promotion of "buy this, get a discount on this" on a small transactional item like a car wash. The company with the most electric vehicles giving special pricing at the most electric car charging stations moves into tying territory very quickly.
Agreed. And this is from someone who would like to buy one. I have no misgivings that I am saving the planet by doing so.
I watched that scene on yt, read the lyrics and even wiki page about that song. I can't understand why it's considered "extremely racist". It looks even cute. However I'm from Eastern Europe and probably miss some subtler context here. Or is this a case of overcorrection in US society? Excessive political correctness for past wrongdoings?

It's also quite funny when I saw that "black magic" is now considered racist. Guess what? It's also called "black magic" in Serbia since centuries ago, when noone here ever saw non-white man. Black in this context symbolizes darkness, and fear we feel in the dark. Not a skin color.

Btw. "roleplaying" cowboys and indians was a pupular childhood game in 80-ties here. Although Indians (I'm using this term since it's still the only one used around here) were typically portraited as bad guys in movies, they were as popular as cowboys in our games and many children wanted to be like them.

> More customers using the Supercharger network enables faster expansion.

This seems like the core motivation here -- more people using the chargers justifies a larger investment and a better user experience (more availability) in the short term.

About EV charging: Can Tesla set their own electricity price freely? If so, would you change the charger you use based on how much it costs at different places? I wonder if there's profit to be made in running more EV chargers, especially if they can adjust the charging price based on demand in each location.

In my opinion “top of the line” any appliance is usually worse than the entry model. Typically it just adds more “features” that introduce additional moving parts, circuit boards, and displays. Rarely if ever do I need these things, and there’s a real hit to reliability.

The most common false belief I met during the years is that people think you can use math as-is in software. Reality is that you almost always need knowledge about numerical methods and for easier things you need to understand how floating-point arithmetic works.
ElectrifyAmerica is $0.31 a kWh with a $4 a month subscription (that you can cancel at any time), it’s pretty reasonable, given you’ll basically take it on any road trip where you charge more than 33kwh. $0.31 is less than what PGE charges me most of a time at home, and less than most Tesla Superchargers in the area!

Your example about per minute rates is a bit misleading, given most people who’ll use those PetroCanada stations won’t have such a fast charging car and that petrocanada will charge more when they switch to per-kWh pricing.
Does not match my experience. I have a fairly regular Bosch dishwasher and use the ECO mode almost exclusively without any issues.

And because the non Tesla car doesn’t identify the car (and thus indirectly the payment account) to the charger as a Tesla automatically does.
There's no terminal on Tesla chargers. You just plug in and it starts charging.

For non-teslas, this isn't an option so you have to use the app.
This is exactly why I think there should be an engineering license for software developers in life critical things like this. We don’t allow civil engineers to build bridges that kill people, neither should we allow software developers. If you’re writing angry birds or whatever, you can do whatever. But if your software is in a car, and it kills someone, you should lose your license to practice.
I had to chuckle at that too, my dishwasher is almost too quiet, I can barely tell if it's on without listening to it closely it looking at the controls.

You can probably think of this as gas prices at motorway stations vs gas prices at your local supermarket. OK, the spread is smaller for gas, but the underlying principle is the same. You pay for convenience and speed. Also, if you don't really need it, you shouldn't use fast chargers - charge at home, or at slower AC charge points. With those higher DC prices you are incentivized to do so.
Thankfully. For a second I almost clicked - I thought it was about the IRC client!
