I think it will be a gradual process.

EVs will progressively become more efficient, including better electric (regen) braking as batteries and motors improve, and less reliance on mechanical braking.

Essentially it's already there in any high-powered AWD EV.

Just a question of how much you're prepared to pay for a 15C battery pack ๐Ÿ˜

Gen 4 Formula E cars will be AWD and will only use electric braking during races (they will have disc brakes for backup).

Overall efficiency ~ 96-97%

#COP29

Developing nations were right to protest the level of funding allocated to assist them in adapting to climate change.

www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11...

Here's a better idea - stop subsidising fossil energy (~ US$600B in 2023) & allocate the funds to climate change adaptation & mitigation.

A transition issue.

See COP29 commitment to increase storage globally by 6X by 2030 to 1500GW (nominal real-time global generating capacity (365/24) will be around 4000GW by 2030).

Trump will simply take the US out of the game. Too stupid to work out why Musk is hedging his bets with diverse location of Tesla Gigafactories.

China now on track to be first major industrial economy with low emission low cost energy and near-zero dependence on external energy supplies by 2040.

'We have no spare engines': Qantas planes are falling into disrepair, say pilots and engineers 'The situation on the Fokkers is so bad that many crew members are wondering if itโ€™s their plane that will crash,' a pilot said.

#Qantas
Alan Joyce should be required to refund all of his bonus payments and probably more.

The Qantas Board members who allowed him to do this should probably also kick in (and then resign).
