36,000 moles plus per year That is a lot of miles to put on car per year. I don't remember ever putting much more than 10K miles on a car per year and I am retired now. I just got rid of a 16 year old gas guzzling pocket rocket that averaged about 19 miles combined. The new car averages about 29 miles combined and the difference in fuel bills is quite noticeable. In the long run a mot sure I'll be saving any money since the car is MHEV

I has said someone is going to make a fortune with a 400-800V 50kw generator that boosts the range of any EV it’s connected too....

Yeah the Chinese thought the same they are going to make a killing. 70kw to 150kw and one version has a built in clutch and differential for direct drive of the axle it sits over. They are kicking our butts in tech.

The Tesla Semi at 82,000lbs gross weight has documented 1,700 watt hours per mile average use rates. At 65 mph that’s 110KW average load. Yeah that 150KW powers a Tesla Semi sized EV your bro bro truck is using less on the motorway it’s just physics bro.
