Long time due. Nothing new in the article, but it is a good summary nevertheless.

Let’s run our transport on coal instead of oil. Nice.

Hmm, we have gold plated electricity grid, underutilized. It can handle a lot, not to mention than full electrification of transport will not increase load much as many thought.

It is not only about quality. But also about warranty, part availability and long time support. Chinese cars has bad records on these. Buying used Chinese car is hardly a sensitive choice. Look to carsales.com.au as example. It is full of MGs which no one willing to buy. So if you buying new car you should plan to scrap it, not sell in 5 years.

Are ducks native? They looks similar enough to Europen one.

Sorry. unrelated question. It is clearly screenshot from a mobile, and you are posting to Lemmy. Are you accessing Lemmy on mobile too? What client are you using?

Yeh, one is Toyota other is Chinese crap. Please compare apples with apples. You can find EV with similar prices as ICE on secondary market. But only it means that EV are depreciated faster than ICE which makes it very questionable purchase as new.

Hmm, car number plates are clearly visible. Did you report it?

Build/Reopen refineries not tanks. We will need petrol for decades to come, they are not going to be wasted.

It will take a while to move to EVs. SO far they are not have economical sense for average person. Prices should go down bellow ICE before we see any noticeable adoption.

Too late now. We should have started 30 years ago by adjusting school programs. We just don’t have enough engineers to design anything at scale. Even if we can compete on design, there is no chance for them to compete on the cost of manufacturing. The biggest problem with Chinese products is that quality is going away; so there’s no advantage left for non‑Chinese automakers. Transition to EVs will be last nail in the coffin.

Ollama has long history of exploits. PLease do not feed anything which come from outside to it.

Google probably will do better if you use their paid models.

I got some Matrox G400 on PCIx1 for this from ebay. (Yes they still making them) Really cheap. native linux support, very low power consumption.

With AI search engines hosting public repo is very expensive.

Oh…

What kind or electric trucks? Pretty much no one is making them currently in decent numbers. And why concentrate on transport? Fix generation first. Australian EV are mostly running on coal these days.

Please check what kind of charges are they. majority < 8Kw. It is not good even for destination charger. It would be pretty good for home, but not a place where you have to take your car to recharge.

8 amp? Normal wall power point is 10 amp.
