  • Oh absolutely. I was trying to say the charging time is the impressive bit.

    My Volkswagen ID.3 charges at 100kW max (maaybe a bit faster since update 3.2 but I haven’t tried) but that quickly goes down to 60/70kW. I would love for it to go from sub 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. Usually I have to wait 30-40 minutes for that (rough estimate). For me that’s a little bit too long for a quick pee if you’re traveling say 1000km/day.

    Fast charging is what enables longer trips, not necessarily just having a bigger batter. Here in Western Europe there aren’t really any dark spots where you absolutely cannot go by BEV with just an “okay range” anymore, so range is far less important. And for 95% of my use having it be 80% (250-350km) when I leave for daily activities is absolutely fine.
















  • In Europe (in my case the Netherlands, but it’s similar in surrounding countries) you cannot pass on the right and you can get fined for it. If you do pass on the right you’re taking a bigger risk because it is not expected.

    You can also get fined for staying in the left or middle lane for too long. But that’s somewhat rare. You can get away with it a bit to pass an extra truck (our trucks speed limit is slower) or if the right lane is full and slower than the lane to the left of it, but don’t drive excessively slow on the left. Especially on the Autobahn.


  • Je bedoelt dat de rechterkant van rechts zo stemmen van gematigd rechts kan pakken? Dat gebeurt nu toch al. Ik denk dat er van klimaatpolitiek echt wel iets rechts te maken is.

    Er zijn genoeg aanknopingspunten voor (centrum)rechts. Investeren in innovatieve ondernemers voor de VVD; rentmeesterschap voor CU/CDA/SGP; energieonafhankelijkheid van EU-landen voor Wilders/Baudet/Van Haga/Eerdmans.

    Helaas is het voor die laatste anti-intellectuele gekkenbrigade de normaalste zaak van de wereld geworden om de klimaatproblematiek af te doen als boomknuffelaarshysterie. Klimaatpolitiek wordt gezien als zwakte.

    Ik vind dat echt een enorme gemiste kans.
