    Whenever EVs are discussed the opinions are always polarised. The major shortcoming of current EVs is the battery technology. I’d expect that some far better system will emerge some time in future that will make them practical. Meanwhile, all you EV owners need to use your petrol or diesel car for short journeys during winter.

    The EV 'experience'? What the hell is an EV 'experience'? You mean to say, the EV Experiment that has failed so miserably. It is not an 'experience' as the female British narrator of this shows claims but more pointedly, an industry-wide systematic failure, a failed experiment with your money, these electric cars are. Tesla will never iron out the bugs, nor will Ford or GM or Audi or any other car maker. The entire EV industry should be recalled out of existence. God bless fossil fuels.

    Do you know how many times my lead acid battery was dead, my engine was too cold to turnover, my alternator or radiator broke and left me stranded, etc? You’re all acting like the pos cars on the market right now are better? Reality is tough but you should try and face it 😂

    so basically they are saying that if you don't want your battery to die, do not use the car so that you can have charge to drive it. wait 🤔

    To all law abiding, tax paying voters: Cars can run on water by splitting the hydrogen out, but there is no money, tax or centralised control in that, no control of our freedom of movements, so our “elected representatives” say we can’t have it.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
