H ello! I have a 2016 Chevy Spark EV and noticed a lower battery range performance. Dealership performed the Electrical Systems Diagnosis ($175). They determined that the battery is functioning at 22.6 Ah, compared to the minimum 31.5 Ah. Headquarters is reluctant to act on it. They want me to "wait and see" and do another diagnostic in August. Do they think they made a misdiagnosis? Should I push for a repair order to start? The warranty expires in August, two months from now. Any advice?

Excellent video! 3 years is nothing when you look at the big picture. I enjoyed listening to Eric's insight into the progress of NMG. As you said, there are a lot of big pieces to the puzzle, and little by little NMG has been acquiring the big pieces and is close to fully assembling it. The USA tarriffs on chinese vehicles and sourced chinese minerals will help the bull case for graphite. EV's and home energy storage systems will also continue to become more affordable as time goes by. I strongly believe that graphite along with many other resources will continue to gain traction and value in the next 5 to 10 years. Bullissssssh!!!

Increasing EV adoption with the next group of buyers will be extremely difficult. Frankly, I don’t see it occurring for at least 3 years, maybe more. Items severely holding it back are: 1) poor charging infrastructure and Tesla is making it worse by slowing down install of superchargers; 2) interest rates; 3) charger anxiety except for Tesla; and 4) pricing.
@EVResource Ай бұрын
I think much of those concerns can be fixed with the consumer becoming more aware of the existing infrastructure. Yes, we need more, but people don’t even know where the existing chargers are!
@johnpoldo8817 29 күн бұрын
@@EVResource It’s really sad many EV drivers don’t know where to look for chargers. At a minimum, car dealers should give buyers a list of apps that show charging locations. My Tesla advisor provided not only Supercharger app, but PlugShare, Alt Fuel, and suggested Electrify America, EVgo, and others. While I haven’t looked, surely someone has produced a YT video on the best apps to find charging.

EVs are not dominating any form of motorpsorts . Fanboy delusion. They have their own series .Autocross is a timed event its not racing wheel to wheel. Formula E draws for smaller crowds than F1. Electric dirt bikes have been fairly succesfull in begginer kids classes but once they move out of begginer class they are back on 2stroke bikes. Full size electric mx bikes have been around for a few years and have went nowhere. Alta went out of business, the lastest offering from Stark didn't sell . They also have already closed their doors. Motorsports will continue to be ICE based for years.
@stevecha3612 Ай бұрын
I was an ICE engineer and built my own race car for open track days, Road America was 15 mins from my house. I can appreciate ICE engines but as EV powertrains get better and can sustain max power output, it becomes less attractive to run ICE, unless you are just old school and have nostalgia of hearing vroom vroom and turbo noises and supercharger noises.
@EVResource Ай бұрын
Pretty sure when you’re faster than everybody else, it’s safe to say you’re dominating. Jon absolutely killed it.

There’s no comparison. An EV, with the right powertrain and tuned properly, can do amazing things. That being said, as much as I’m an EV guy… I LOVE the vroom vroom and turbo and supercharger noises. Mostly turbo noises, but I love a nice cammed out V8 too. Or a V12 revving to 9k. So many nice sounds. That’s the one thing I miss when watching EV Motorsport in person. Don’t miss the sounds when driving one, but when watching it is missing the spectacle.

@EVResource 2 ай бұрын
It was a decent amount of rain... but I can see where that doesn't come across in the video all too well. The main purpose of the video however was satirical. The reality of EV charging is that there isn't any risk of charging in the rain, even if it were a hurricane, because there is never any electricity flowing through the wires until after the plug is connected to the vehicle and the charger and vehicle communicate. Before charging starts, they go through a process that also includes an "all clear, go ahead" command. As a result of this communication first feature, you could even dunk the charger cable into a bucket of water and it wouldn't cause any issue because there wouldn’t be any electricity flowing.

youre continuing to drive once you are at zero SOC as you have a reserve amount of kWh. So as an example a car with say 80kWh gross, would tend to have an upper and lower buffer of 2.5kWh each (so 5kWh) which leaves 75kWh usable, but 5kWh isnt showing within the GOM, so 0-100% is normally around 70kWh. 5kWH when you hit zero (reserve power) then the buffers of 5kWh giving a total of 80kWh

EVs have become political because politicians say we will stop you from buying gas cars. They also say you must buy an EV to prevent extinction from climate change.

For sure! The only thing I’d say is a reason government should be involved is from a public health aspect. Clean air (for the sake of public health) should be a priority that promotes policies that require a change to the current status quo. That being said, there are many options that can address this concern in addition to EVs.
