A new Belgian phenomenon is going on ...

This morning (04:30-AM) I drove to the company , the radio newsflash said +6K calls from EV owners ...
It was cold like -8C° , but it felt like -15 with a ice cold wind !
The problem for the EV owners was : The plug/adapter was frozen to the car and they couldn't remove the thing from the car ...

A guy said: It's like being handcuffed !

Any one buying a EV in a nordic or any area where the winters are sub zero are two fries short of a happy meal.

How extreme cold can crack lithium-ion battery materials, degrading performance
Storing the rechargeable batteries at sub-freezing temperatures can crack the battery cathode and separate it from other parts of the battery, a new study shows.
Initial studies found that storing cathodes at temperatures below zero degrees Celsius led batteries to lose up to 5% more of their capacity after 100 charges than batteries stored at warmer temperatures.

Sometimes when they thaw they go thermal. Que the fire video.

Hyundai is switching lanes from EVs in a quest for another 'clean' fuel
The South Korean automaker announced at a keynote during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Jan. 8 that it is setting forth on a strategy centered around hydrogen fuel that involves the production of hydrogen fuel, storage, transportation and its use throughout its affiliated businesses, including steel making.
Hyundai said that will play a crucial role in its "sustainability roadmap," specifically its RE100 target to use only renewable energy in its overseas factories by 2045, and in every part of the company by 2050.
First, Hyundai is developing methods to transform problem pollutants into hydrogen by using one of two methods in what it calls "reverse circulation technology." Here, the automaker harvests hydrogen molecules from either organic waste — food, sludge or livestock manure, or by breaking down waste plastics.
Additionally, the automaker is developing what it calls megawatt-scale polymer electrolyte membrane, or PEM electrolyzers for hydrogen production. Electrolyzers are key to hydrogen production, as they enable water molecules to be separated down to hydrogen and oxygen in the making of hydrogen fuel.
Last, Hyundai is centering the use of hydrogen throughout critical parts of its logistical chain where it can be used. The company has already begun deploying its hydrogen-powered XCIENT fuel cell trucks at the Port of Oakland and plans to use them at its new EV factory near Savannah, Ga.

So if there is a honest better solution to saving the planet will the EV folks care? Hydrogen will define if this is a cult or a true concern for the planet.

It is totally make sense. The end products are energy and water.

Joke of the month. Funny and very true.

As someone who is probably one of the younger people in this thread (I'm 23), what do you expect them to do?

Waking up to the propaganda being fed to them, with chopsticks by the likes of TikTok, is a nice starting point.

Good question...
bad decisions make us experienced and good decisions then comes from experience..
forget fears and make mistakes but learn from them and never make them twice.

From what I've seen, social media like Tiktok/Instagram or whatever else is way too ingrained in their daily lives for them to give it up. If you DON'T have these then you're looked at as an outcast, I know from firsthand experience .

I never said commies are dumb. Quite the opposite. They know the user's are.
Maybe not dumb. Weak.

Weakness is a cancer in most societies right now and it was carefully implemented.
Weak citizens make for great citizens.

I don’t see BMW surviving this transition.
