  • At that point you’re having tax payers subsidize failing businesses that only try to collect profits over innovation. Giving more money from the poor to the rich.

    Not to mention how hard you’d have to subsidize. Aside from the huge amount of money in constructing plants capable of building like China, you’d be subsidizing pay differences to a huge degree. Automakers in the US average around $30 US an hour. Chinese average $3.75 US an hour. Our two economies can’t really play together that well because the differences are so massive.

    Tax the fuck out of the rich on anything over like $1.5 million a year, and close all the loopholes and the problems fix themselves. The rich and the corrupt government our the problem.




  • All EV batteries aren’t “a battery that size”. They’re a bunch of small batteries all strung together. The “battery that size” statement you made is pretty much meaningless.

    It’s very much physically possible to charge a battery pack at mostly empty to mostly full in 5 minutes. The tech and chemical side of actually getting it done hasn’t quite officially happened yet. Battery charge\discharge rates are measured in “C”. One C is an hour for a 0 to 100% charge. So six C would be 0 to 100 in 10 minutes. That’s doable right now. You’d need 12 C for a 0 to 100% charge in 5 minutes. That hasn’t happened yet, but it’s getting pretty close. 11 C can be done to go from 0 to 80%.

    Likely, BYD’s charging statement is based for the regular layman such as yourself and refers to something along the lines of a charge from 10% up to 80%.

    As a side note, it’s also annoying having these “new EV battery has x amount of range” is dumb. You could get that range 20 years ago if you made the battery pack a lot bigger. What you need to know is the energy density and the size. Like 400 WH per kilogram is currently a really good capacity. Double what you could get from like five years ago.





  • The woman seems like a long time fraudster\con artist\not trustworthy person.

    The more telling thing from this is that there’s a massive amount of documents that they refuse to release, and that they released the one document of this woman talking about Epstein to the FBI, they didn’t release the other 3 documents that were right along with it that had her talking about Trump. This is pretty hard evidence (as if it weren’t obvious) that the documents not released were very intentionally hiding documents that implement Trump, and likely many other people they wanted to keep illegally protected. That’s the real story.
