The latest post by @… reminded me of our EV car hire in Wales back in 2023… it’s quite the story!

The Electric Vehicle Road Trip
Electric Vehicles are great! Except when you need to charge them...

I keep thinking about the depreciation curve on a Tesla vehicle and how a $100,000 car can now be purchased for sub $20,000.
Even at a great “value,” I just can’t trust Tesla not to screw over consumers with bait and switch and last-minute subscription fees.
I’d love to see an OSS vehicle operating system that folks can put into any EV.

It's great to see car OEMs integrating smart charging solutions directly into their EVs. ev.energy’s platform allows users to automatically optimise for a range of smart and dynamic tariffs and on-site solar, while responding to local and (inter)national grid needs in flex markets.

Analyzing Contact Patterns in Public Transportation Systems for Opportunistic Communication Services
Vehicle mobility has a significant impact on wireless communication between vehicles (buses) in Public Transportation Systems (PTS). Nevertheless, the transportation literature does not provide satisfactory models for bus movements because they are influenced by a variety of factors (itineraries, timetables, etc.). Custom-made mobility models that take these issues into account require a great deal of effort and may render simulations unfeasible. This article considers a tool (EMMS) that automa…
