won't EV batteries that don't 'hold their charge' be losing that charge as heat internally ?
do people in Australia want such uncommanded space heating ?
Lately yes. I live in Queensland and ironically had visitors from the UK and they cooled off here as there was record lows here and record highs in UK!Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 15:58won't EV batteries that don't 'hold their charge' be losing that charge as heat internally ?

Lithium/EV-batteries don't loose much charge over time. That's not a normal failure mode. But the internal resistance increases. Making them unusable for high power applications but still fine for low power, as Andres123sx has pointed out. Unusable in a 500 kW Tesla or a powerful RC helicopter. Still fine for a house battery or a slow flying RC glider.Tommy Cookers wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 15:58won't EV batteries that don't 'hold their charge' be losing that charge as heat internally ?
most modern speakers are almost 100% inefficient - that's why modern amplifier powers are so high
What's revealing? That there are still people that, despite everything that we are facing, are working on/are impressed by such moronically overpowered cars for regular customers? Yes, that does say a lot about humanity, unfortunately.

It will take me about half an hour the way I type.
How much do you want to know about what is revealing?
The reasons against hypercars, even electric ones, apply to F1 too.

I could buy an electric hypercar and drive it like an old man and it would be no worse than a boring EV. F1 is entirely indefensible.
Be careful espousing the "I see no need for EV hyper cars" because the same argument can be used about F1.
Agree with this bit. Should also apply to hypercars - no need to regulate beyond this. If you can afford to - pay whatever it costs to reverse the damage done by your indulgence then go ahead and do it.
