Tell us you didn’t read the entire context of the thread without telling us you didn’t read the entire context of the thread.

Also, the fucking news for the last few years? There are EVs out there without enough cold protection for their batteries. Which is why, if you can drag your ego back up the thread, you’ll see that my original post said I would be more concerned with making sure my battery had those protections than a heat pump because the affect on range is much more drastic.

You know, as the article in the post points out. EVs are not all the same.

I think that’s a different beast.

Yeah, that’s not quite the “shot for 3D” I was talking about. Those are the worst 3D films that don’t even hide that it’s a gimmick.

It was a gimmick. Half the movies released in 3D during the last wave were poorly done conversions not even shot for 3D.

Most people aren’t road tripping in their electric vehicle every day. If you don’t understand how temperature affects battery chemistry, capacity, and charging I don’t understand how you can even be in this conversation.

The lowest range EV in the US is 114 miles. The average commute is 52 miles. Most EVs sold in the US have a range of 250 miles or more. So a resistive heater eating 10% of your range is way less of an issue than your battery not charging properly in cold weather. Again, heat pumps should be available, but they aren’t going to save you if cold weather kills your battery.

Perfect name for any corporation. An undying pervasive evil. No soul to damn, no body to incarcerate. No obligations to stakeholders.

Yes, they should have both.

Deep thought.

Is this really an article saying heat pumps are more efficient than resistive heaters? Yes, that is why heat pumps exist.

The biggest issue is the battery itself. If it gets cold enough you can have difficulty even charging an EV outdoors. I would be a lot more concerned with whether or not my battery is well insulated and heated. Heat pumps are great and should be the default, but unless you’re going really far or have a very low range EV it’s not a huge issue.

You’re going down with us.

Thank you. You do absorb iodine through skin though. It’s been done for a long time. It may not be useful for radiation as you say but it does indeed absorb cutaneously and is available to the body. It was used for iodine supplement before salt was iodized.

Yes, to scare the shit out of Ukrainians. Russia recently hit them with a conventional warhead on an ICBM.

Yes, orally that’s what you take.

Iodine is readily available at every drug store in liquid form. It’s also readily absorbed through the skin. Just ask people who were around before salt was iodized. Parents used to rub it on the soles of their kids feet.

Why? Why national debt?

“buy”

I’m going to the drug store to buy them out of iodine. If I survive, probably going to need it.

Yes, it’s very clear you’ve made it this far in life completely avoiding any criticism.
