I wasn't aware there was another all-electric semi on the roads. How do the specs compare to Tesla Semi?

@FVClimateAction Exactly! The fact that plugging in at a home charging spot is so convenient, the time it takes (30 seconds all in and out) is negligible.

With current #EVRange exceeding 300kms in most vehicles, that’s once a week, or more! (PS. Keep your battery SoC 40-75% to max longevity!)

@rodmickleburgh What’s the fuss on #carbontax ?

[Vancouver EV Assoc. @vevabc]

@lukehebb @evmanuk Better than disconnection and reconnection charges every day?

Volta Trucks, founded in 2019, files for bankruptcy.

The insolvency of the designated battery supplier Proterra in August had a serious impact on Volta Trucks' production plans and reduced the possible unit numbers. In addition, these uncertainties would have had a negative impact on capital raising.

There are 3 BEV insolvencies in Germany alone and now a Swedish one. Is anyone counting?

When the consolidation is over, Tesla will emerge stronger and will have further expanded its market dominance.

In case you missed it — we shared lots of exciting details about the purpose of our production-intent builds in our latest blog post. This video showcases our latest factory layout (though some details are intentionally simplified).

We're currently stamping body parts for our production-intent (PI) builds. Once all body parts are validated, they'll be bonded together to form the complete body structure of Aptera.

Next, the team will start assembling our production-intent builds. Our PI builds will undergo rigorous testing, focusing on key components such as suspension, brakes, airbags, thermal systems, powertrain, battery, and software.

Safety and crash testing are next on the agenda for PI builds, which includes regulatory compliance checks, quality assurance, durability testing, and fine-tuning for efficiency and safety.

Then, we'll be ready to start mass production and commence customer deliveries. What we've all been waiting for!

It's going to be an exciting journey – one we're thrilled you're a part of.

We basically at the beginning of a large build of new #EVCharging infrastructure, so let's get it right.

Universal access #standards means everyone will be able to charge without barriers of bad design.

@PluginAlberta @TOCAlberta @DriveTeslaca Easily doable. We just need more time ... if only we could of gone electric a hundred years ago... oh, we did?

Let's take to the road, and watch the attached flow around Aptera's rear wheel. #aerodynamics #tufttest #attachedflow

@PluggedinEv Jeff Dahn, Dept of Chemistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, and battery expert recommends 30-75% range for best longevity, but newer formulations and battery mgt are doing just fine as ‘million mile batteries’

Cadillac has brought the Celestiq to Vancouver to shoot some promotional footage.

Production is set to begin later this year, and it will start at US$340,000. No price for Canada yet, but a straight exchange puts it at around C$457,000.

@tillathenun We have owners with ‘12’s currently at 71%, but still doing active daily driving around town.

I was caught in the cross-hairs of ⁦⁦@DrKnowItAll16⁩. Super interesting talking with a few folks from ⁦@vevabc⁩ about this old EV and the world it lived it. https://t.co/If5mJKRunh

@sydney_ev More storage, energy efficiency “negawatts” will make solar happen with central grids becoming top up energy suppliers.

[Everything Electric @Everyth1ngElec]

Not having Xhitter on my phone has been a soul enhancing experience. I've been in Vancouver for the @FullyChargedShw live event in Vancouver which was, to adopt a north Americanism, 'totally awesome!'
Cannot wait to go back next year. I ❤️ Canada!

What’s going on with the cracks found in the front castings of 2023 Model Y Teslas?

While Tesla claims the cracks in the front casting are safe, this seems to contradict what their official Repair Guidelines states. (50mm = 1.9685in) @Tesla #Tesla $TSLA @elonmusk #ModelY #Model3Highland #Model3 #Highland
