It has been so long since the popularization of #EV’s that the first pioneering pieces will massively need to replace the cells due to their wear. Normally (e.g. on buses) it is assumed that a cell with 80% of its rated capacity is already worn out and it is recommended to replace it. But it’s still a good energy storage for other applications!

Everyone (and most of all the #USA) thought that #China is far behind in the subject of #processor production, and here, out of nowhere appears a chip in #7nm #technology 😅 China is not idle, and their morally questionable ways of obtaining (or as some like to call - theft) various technologies brings shocking results.

13kWp would allow you to charge these batteries with a capacity of 300kWh in about 23 hours and we are talking about laboratory conditions, because for such this power is given. I am rather skeptical about this project, but I would like to see the results of these tests in Sweden, which is not one of the sunniest regions.

I’m not surprised. I myself work in #automotive, but in the bus segment, which is slightly different from passenger cars, but I still see from the inside what is happening. Until recently, there was a total lack of regulations regulating many topics in the field of data protection or cybersecurity. Now it’s slowly changing...

We know lifetime licenses, but in this case it is a bit different, because we are talking about the service here. I must admit that this is quite a bold move to offer the service for such a long period. $38000 is not cheap, but it is hard to really determine whether for Wordpress it will be enough to cover all costs for the next 100 years and make profit on that.

Clever move! Google having an extensive database of satellite images can become a huge database with information about the cost of installing photovoltaics on your roof or plot, as well as become a calculator counting how much can be installed, and also how much energy such a installation will generate.

Another idea, which I treat only as a curiosity, because the efficiency of such a system (how much real energy it will produce) to the cost certainly does not give a positive balance in a reasonable time perspective.

In my opinion, this is a very wise move. Python is a fairly simple language, so the entry threshold is quite low, and Excel, which is a really powerful tool, will benefit even more from it.

I just wrote about the cosmic collapse of Russia, and on the other hand India joins the race to conquer space and you have to admit that it looks good! India is becoming a powerhouse in more and more areas, because it is like China with the difference that more people speak English there, which gives them a significant advantage 😉
