Nah 24h time was introduced by the US in Europe during WW2.

We are currently dealing with 10 dollars the gallon in Europe so you have a little bit still to go. I can’t imagine the mess this is making in countries that do not have the US or EU purchasing power.

Actually the French use 24h and speak 24h.

The shop owner, in the village I moved to, has this awful accent. Something about baguettes and croissants. Indiciferable as a someone from the Netherlands.

Than my information was out of date because the in formation I had sodium was around 140w an lithium around 250w so not half but a large gap. But with the range anxiety most people already have I wonder if 30% less available power will be acceptable for them. And as I said before solid state Lithium should be a massive change and allow electric cars to rival diesel for range.

In the search tab in the mastodon app you can just look for # or names of things you find interesting.

Aren’t most instances connected and can’t you search all those instances for accounts you’d want to follow?

Sodium is absolutely less of a fire risk which is good and is made of less rare earth minerals which is also a bonus.

The major downside is the energy density. If I am not mistaken it is about half of current litium ion batteries. Which would result in a halving of range for the same weight.

On top of that, if they ever get them into production, the solid state Lithium ion batteries are not only more energy dense than current batteries, they are also safer due to the lack of flammable liquid electrolites.

In conclusion with what I know, I doubt most cars will use sodium ion batteries. I would see them as great home batteries for solar installations. And maybe batteries for farm equipement or construction vehicles although the weight might become an issue.

New background aquired.

They want the Chaos Gods to be real.

One of us, one of us, one of us.

I am surprised that their country isn’t mostly working on Solar considering the sun hours they get and the available space.
