We did it to build our highways. Do you regret that decision?

Yes, fuck the car industry, I wanted bullet trains.

But this is why we have been second last next to Luxembourg in the 38 countries of the OECD in per capita productivity growth since 2015; Canadians love making ourselves poorer for no reason, and the rich love investing outside of Canada.

Digging up fossil fuels and preventing our children from having a livable future is not the only way to sustain our population.

I love how they never address the fact that the punishment is way heavier for a cyclist than it is for a driver. Nice distraction.

That's "dtf" or "d2f"

IDF, more like "I don't fuck"

I get that from every therapist and psychologist.

I've gotten so good at masking even they can't tell.

Ok, I didn't need you to act as a middle man to tell me what the LLM just hallucinated, I can do this myself.

The point is that raw AI output provides absolutely no value to a conversation, and is thus noisy and rude.

When we ask questions on a public forum, we're looking to talk to people about their own experience and research through the lens of their own being and expertise. We're all capable of prompting an AI agent. If we wanted AI answers, we'd prompt an AI agent.

IRC makes sense in a world where people register to bouncers, which allow people to connect to any IRC network they please.

I lived with the exact same car you have, and yeah, waiting for slow cars at fast chargers was one of the pain points, but I think this is just a question of social etiquette. More charging infrastructure should also resolve this issue.

You may very well be right about our temperatures generally not being high enough to hammer the battery that much, though Quebec summers can get pretty hot for short periods of time.

How is your IONIQ 5 in the deep of winter, with winter tires and -25c weather? I never drove such an EV in winter, and since current EVs rely so much on the insane efficiency of their motors rather than the battery capacity, temperature and tires can make a difference in range.

Some sites provide a different behaviour depending on the reported OS

Thanks, I accidentally switched the terms!

I'm sure H2 will eventually become viable, but right now it's very much being pushed in the hopes that blue and gray H2 can be sold to the masses by fossil fuel companies.

You bring good points! My concern about battery life is more specifically about the toll fast charging puts on a battery, and such a car would be supercharging for most of its existence.

I did rent out a dual motor long range IONIQ 5 for a test trip, I really enjoyed it, but I was stuck for an hour at a fast charger at a random closed Ford dealership off the side of the 20 on the way back because I couldn't charge at my destination in Levis during the day.

I also had a LOT of issues with Electrify Canada and Flo, from non-functional stations to stations where the sessions just wouldn't end. It happened twice, and the second time it happened, it took support (I forget which company, I think Flo) a whole WEEK to close the charging session properly. During that time, I could not open any other charge session, and had to call support every time I wanted to charge. 🙃

Otherwise, Quebec's charging infrastructure is okay, but the lack of fast chargers (350kw+) make it difficult to do long trips without stopping constantly, and northern Ontario / Quebec is basically devoid of charging stations.
