True. Ferraris are like art.

I have a 2 kva genny which is not enough to power a small air conditioner and started to wonder about the electric car and how it needs power for lights radio and air conditioning..heating or cooling... that must be a drain...so Peter any comments?

The car has AC for heating and cooling...I think there is a hamster under the bonnet I have to feed every now and then.

The aircond probably has a similar system as this backyard conversion, but a lot more fancy in the factory made ev.

probably about 700 watts for air in a car.
I found a 1600 watt unit in Sydney I will buy only $400 from memory..but with the heat in the van I will pay whatever it takes..

I had a drive in a mates Tesla model 3 Long range AWD Last Wednesday, unbelievable performance as Peter says, the regen braking doesn’t take much adjusting to but the acceleration is insane, floored the throttle and by the time I’d glanced sideways to check the speed and back to the road I was over the speed limit. My mate is getting around 470 km to a charge. One odd thing was no spare tyre, just an emergency slime type puncture kit. No dealer or showroom, just ordered on line and in my mates words “turned up on the back of a truck”….

When I collected my car, I noticed quite a few were sitting Tesla's Alexandria facility, hence I'd expect they will not be an uncommon sight on our roads in fairly short order.

But compared to Norway, we have a long, long way to go....

Norway is the biggest producer of fossil fuels in Europe. It’s petro $ that are funding Norways EV roll out. Like all woke thought, it crumbles under examination
