WE DO NOT LEAVE OUR FRIENDS BEHIND. I mean, cโ€™mon, how dumb would that be.

It's okay, all we gotta do is mention the ICCU and nobody needs to think about Mr Toyota in the red hat /j

it sounds like they don't deserve this grace but it's not even like a block heater situation?

a Take(TM) I've seen is that software companies should have dedicated "poor conditions" testing staff.

Your software ideally should be usable by someone in the forest who has 1.5-megabit DSL that drops 25% packets, or someone on the ocean using a satellite with high latency

LRS: I think a lot about the interaction between new features written by people who never have less than a gigabit of network and never have a computer over three years old and "the real world"

whatever those items are might well be... notionally useful but at what cost?

Another station nearby has a selfie from Electric Duo Patrick and Liv which I thought was fun

also "basically my power bill becomes 19 grand the instant the station maxes out" feels extremely illustrative of why DCFC costs so much and is part of why I'm so interested in battery-backed DCFC hardware

Pikes Peak Charging | Divide, CO | EV Station A scenic location with a view of Pikes Peak. Shared Charging 62.5 KW max. From Scott, the owner: The stations are designed to distribute 62.5 KW, max, and they share a 3-phase 125 KW circuit. I am t...

the public EV charger of the day is this ChargePoint station at Pikes Peak CO. It's privately owned and the owner did it to fill a gap.

I love that type of story behind one-off types of stations.

For my use case in particular (I will almost certainly never tow anything) that's extremely true.

I'd love to see an ioniq9 vs. GM 200kwh towing comparison. That always seems to be the unique/primary strength of GM's biggest batteries

(not sure I've seen Ioniq9 towing info other than "yes it can")

i dont want to QRT the same article about harddrives that is prolly on your feed 6x times already but there really needs to be Consequences because the current ones available to us are clearly having no effect

Love that for everyone involved, great job GM.
To their credit I think this is the biggest battery pack in a noncommercial BEV in the US.

There's firesale brightdrops but I do not have "DIY conversion" time or energy and I'm sure any would-be upfitters (there were a few!) are now looking elsewhere

2002 Chevy express 1500 conversion van for sale by owner - Tacoma, WA - craigslist 2002 Chevy HighTop Conversion Van 7 passenger van converts to rear bed with 2 middle captain's seat that come out. All window coverings in excellent condition. Comes with cargo carrier and roof rack.....

Does the Cadillac count? (kinda /j because I know those cost a lot more)

My other wishlist for this platform is put it in the Express/Savana form factor for one of those light touch sleeper upfits/conversions

AI just saved me ~4 hours of driving on my vacation

i was planning a trip to the Grand Canyon and noticed the driving route was incredibly inefficient

i spun up a few claude code agents and used agentic ai to find this faster route

if anyone has contacts at the US government lmk - happy to share

If it's still around after a couple more pay cycles and I do my taxes I may ask. This specific one's been sitting around for a few weeks and the dealer seems not to care that much about it or be super interested in it

100%. I kinda want to check out the other dealer anyway because even if they sell before I'm ready they seem interested in having a few used EVs on hand. (it might already be gone but another dealership in the same group says it's there?)

there's a 2022 Bolt from a Chevy dealer who almost always has ~10-15excal BEVs for decent deals and seems to actually care about moving them for only about a thousand more dollars, and they're closer, I'm kinda tempted to wander over this weekend, if only to get a vibe for the dealer itself
