That's pretty disingenuous, the Hyundai ionic 6 is either the second or third fastest charging (km/minute) EV on the market and costs twice as much as the most affordable non-chinese EVs. I'm an advocate for mass ev adoption, but to pretend that real issues don't exist hurts the movement. Battery capacity doesn't necessarily need to increase imo, but all cars need the charging speed of Hyundai/Tesla or better before these types of trips are reasonable.

In a 2023 Chevy Bolt here's what the same trip looks like:

It's not just evacuation, it's a sudden illness or death in the family that means that I have to drive 7-12 hours on very short notice, which has happened to me twice in the last 5 years. I daily drive an EV but to pretend that I don't sometimes need more range than it has and can easily compensate for (lack of charging infrastructure in rural areas, charging adding 4 hours to a 12 hour drive unless you drive a 50k+ car or a tesla) is ridiculous. Tbh I think the 260 miles of my bolt is more than enough for me if it charged like a Tesla/Hyundai and there were more chargers in West Virginia

Taller, worse station wagons since the extra height dramatically increases fuel consumption and rates of severe injury in crashes, while also making rolls more likely.

Why are they only releasing SUVs? Such a PITA

I can see it being useful for students or the types of professionals that can use an iPad as a travel laptop, so you have this and your phone instead. Seems pretty awful for almost any other use case though

I'm in this boat and got a bolt, though I wish it were lower. And that they kept making it.

No, but it does play a pretty significant role in how much influence they have to control AI

While true we're also in the 'do literally anything you can to stop or stall the fascists"' stage and this denies a greater Republican controlled house

Not unless you want to be halfway competent at both, rather than well-qualified and hireable for either. Genetic engineering in particular is a rapidly evolving field, and if you take tons of extra time to complete your degree (or finish and then work as an electrician or something else for 5 years) what you learned at the beginning probably won't be more relevant than any other wet science experience. As the first response said, what's important is that you demonstrate that you can self-motivate and learn. Any biology related bachelor degree should help you get your foot in the door of any biological or even chemical science job--you'll have to sell yourself to a greater or lesser degree, but you have to do that for a job interview anyway.

All that a second qualification, whether that's electrician, plumber, stenographer, etc. would do for you is make it more likely that your lifetime career will be that secondary qualification. If that's what you want then why bother with genetic engineering, and if it's not then fast-track genetic engineering and know that if you need a bridge job it'll be at a lower salary, but that you'll be getting your main job earlier in life so it'll even out.

Looks like they've indicated that only the larger EUV will be offered. Unless you consistently have tall adults in the backseat or need the extra quarter inch of clearance regularly it's a worse car in every way, but it's pricier and gets higher sales margin so of course it's the one they keep.

Just in case there was any doubt, the data shows 2024 as the warmest, with 2023 and 2025 competing for second.

Used to be true, not consistently so since COVID or so. I had to buy a car about two years ago and brand new cars with full warranties were only $1-2k more and with better financing offers than 2-4 year used cars with limited warranties. It got better for a bit but apparently used car prices are spiking again
