That, I do not know. I've never dabbled in power walls, yet.

The U.S. isn't the only country whose government is corrupt, bloated, and incompetent. Gordo is going to really feel it when the Victorian government shows up in this video.

Yep. Grubby tax grab, pretending that passenger cars damage roads.

Last I saw, the EV subreddits were trying to figure out if it was legit, because no one there ever experienced prices that ridiculous.

I didn't read the article. Any chance it's just price gouging because the car market is so fucked? People are paying 30k for used cars that are worth 10k anyways. Exaggeration, but you know what I'm getting at. "Mark it way up because it's not like they have alternatives that are not also marked way up."

Basically, they don't have spare batteries for stuff made 12 years ago that was discontinued.

Oh. They didn't think their cars would last 12+ years?! Yay electric vehicles. We should all be driving one. Very sound and solid tech right now.

They learned this from Apple didn't they. Non-user replaceable battery. Just buy a new updated device and throw away the old one.

If a reporter verified it as true, there's like an 85% chance it's fake.

He's insane. Reporters are 50% accurate. :D

Yeah early adopters always have inconveniences like that. Within a couple years when there are chargers in literally every commercial establishment, that won't happen much.

The car blowing up is secondary to how the universe was straight up hunting that one dude.

This isn't an electric car. It's Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and the CNG tank blew up.
