Confession: When the Hyundai Staria first arrived, I was convinced it was already electric. That futuristic grille, huge windows... nope, ICE!
Now the Staria EV is real: 400km WLTP, 20-min fast charge, seats up to 9.
Better late than never?

You know what happens to all the lithium in batteries when the batteries wear out decades in the future?
It’s still there.
It can be recycled.
It’s mined once and used for decades over and over.
It’s a durable resource
Unlike petrol and diesel.

A new challenger rolls into the EV battlefield.
The Kia EV4 sedan arrives from $49,990, boasting up to 612km WLTP, ultra-low drag (0.23Cd), fast charging, and serious tech.
Efficiency, affordability, and aerodynamics rolled into one pretty decent sedan. 2 battery sizes, 58 and 81kWh. #ev #Kia

UPS officially decommissioned their fleet of MD-11 3 engine aircraft, as an aircraft Engineer, and pilot, i have always had a soft spot for 3 holers growing up in the 80's - 90's.

a plus side of not being able to mow lawns in the record heatwave, (fire risk from blades hitting rocks and creating sparks, is that the grass isn't doing to well itself. its not meant to be mid 30's for days on end in the highlands.
