I like the way he thought and tested the problem with that one.

I'm afraid I'd be a bit too risk averse to duplicate his test.

Ive seen a few tests now trying to break it and it’s really a champ. Apart from sea water.

Yeah, most drones don't like sea water.

He actually dried it out and got it flying but he said it was going in for a refresh replacement as you never know when it might fail in the future.

Good plan as salt water and electronics don't get along well and corrosion could set in within a few weeks.

Ive seen reporting about issues in Florida since the hurricane where they are saying the big issue now is house fires where EV's got salt water wet and are self combusting and boring down the house,   although I did wonder if they were making the problem sound bigger than it really was.

I've seen where 5 EVs have caught fire.  However, most people have learned and now park out in the driveway and not in the garage.

I saw an article in ABC about it,    it seems pretty rare.  The stats they shared were -

Prior to Hurricane Milton, there had been a total of 34 reports worldwide of EV battery fires following salt-water submersion — and of those, four were unverified, Ms Sutcliffe said.

Twenty-eight occurred due to hurricanes, one during a very violent storm, and five when EVs were accidentally submerged at boat ramps.

Whether a submerged EV catches fire depends on its battery chemistry, battery size, how much charge it held at the time, and whether the car was damaged.

Just another reason I decide to delay getting an EV.  With all the battery technology changing so quickly I'm sure somebody will come up with a safer battery that has much more range.  Nothing wrong with my new trucks' ICE.

Weve gone hybrid mainly for cost this time,     but Id love to get an EV next time around,  hopefully they will level the field a bit and stop selling the EV's for 30% than an ICE.

It would be great if they leveled the playing field between EV and ICE vehicles.

Is there the same price difference out there too?   It used to be we would be super jealous at the prices of you cars like the mustang that were cheaper than an entry level 4 seater family car.

Since the EV market has cooled down the manufacturers keep reducing the prices so the EVs are much closer to the ICE cars prices.  The lack of nationwide infrastructure for charging and the higher cost of car insurance put a lot of people off buying an EV.  Of course, the exorbitant price of EV battery replacements and the numerous car fires didn't help sales either.

Weve yet to catch up with you there,    most of the new TVs we looked at recently were all new models so theres no previously version with an ICE, so theres no comparison to make which is sneaky.  But we also found the dealers were very to point out that they were really the same car underneath just different body panel shapes and trim. I think they were trying to push it to give us more confidence in the new cars,  But they were still a good deal more expensive and with electric prices here it didnt make any sense really , as we wouldnt be saving anything in fuel costs before we swapped it out for a new car again.   Plenty of EV charging around us,  th big issue is everywhere seems to be a different company so you need many many apps and accounts.

Yeah, all reasons to delay an EV purchase for a few more years to see if they get all these type of "issues" worked out.

Im expecting an EU intevatiion into the charging payment systems,  and maybe caparks too.    It seems every carpark that has an app to pay with is different.

We have that its called credit/debit cards. .  Can you imagine if every petrol station had their own app and that was the only way to pay.

If that was the case you'd have a ton of Apps on your phone.  I use a rewards credit card for every purchase and at the end of the month I pay the balance in full.  Beats carrying and paying cash for everything when I can earn rewards.

Cash is really dying here,    more and more places have little signs up saying card/contactless payment only and even things like the church honesty box or RLNI donation box have QR codes to donate online.   I cant see it being scrapped anytime soon though,  but the need to carry it is almost gone,  I no longer even carry a physical wallet,    I put an emergency £10 note in each of my bags back in 2018 and theyve never been used in all that time.

Contactless payment is the best way to go.  Credit/Debit cards and bills/coins are germ infested.

Im not sure thats true for cards these days as we just hold them above a reader for contactless but it certainly explains why coins taste funny.

Most of the card readers here are all still slide, insert or tap.  I used to keep a 100 dollar bill in my wallet in case of an emergency but once I needed to use it the place said they didn't accept bills larger than a 50.  So now I carry two 50s.  

I wish Florida would go to electronic driver's license so I could keep it on my phone and then I wouldn't even need to carry a wallet anymore.

We dont need to carry a license here but it's useful in shops occasionally,    recently I renewed membership at Costco and needed it,  and hey accepted my apple wallet version that I created myself.

Theres a trend here to bring strays in from foreign counties and get them re homed,    sadly we also have enough of our own to deal with.

Kind of goes along the theory of taking care of your own first and then helping others as time and assets permit.
