Range anxiety is what pushed me to buy a Bolt over other EVs, but I do find that practically I don’t need as many kms as it offers, especially in the summer.

Opinion: 400km is overkill for city driving in warm climates. Half the battery/range would be fine for virtually all daily use. I know everyone will anecdotally state their use case on why 200km is insufficient, but that’s basically what the article is saying is part of the problem.

I love my bolt, but most other EVs are not its size. Only the i3 and the Mini come to mind.

The article doesn’t whiff on this, it lays out why it’s too expensive.

1. The strategy was to replace gas cars with EV 1-to-1 to solve the climate crisis and save the car industry.
2. Gas cars have gotten bigger over the years because of marketing, bravado, “safety”, and regulation-skirting.
3. EV-makers have largely bought into that and made all these huge EVs.
4. Huge EVs require bigger batteries which are more expensive in raw materials and manufacturing.
5. Huge batteries are heavy and dangerous.
6. Range anxiety has encouraged even more oversized batteries on already oversized cars.
7. Huge batteries are the main source of cost, meaning EVs end up being a luxury.

So, yes–they are too damn expensive, however a vehicle that meets our actual needs wouldn’t be, if it existed in North America.

I would probably recommend “Just JavaScript” as a way to develop mental models of JS, then the TypeScript handbook to learn the core principles behind typings.

Not what you asked for, sorry, but probably where I’d start.

Ok, cut the end off my reply. We need funding and initiatives that apply to society at large, not only those involved in the church.

This change is also bad news for America as a whole: Participation in a religious community generally correlates with better health outcomes and longer life, higher financial generosity, and more stable families—all of which are desperately needed in a nation with rising rates of loneliness, mental illness, and alcohol and drug dependency.

This is the problem statement of the article. Seems like we could push for systems that address these issues without the belief in a puppet master in the sky as a prerequisite.

I love how sassy The Verge’s coverage of reddit is.

Thank you Kris, you are a miller of bliss incredulity.
