Don't assume that your experience is the same as everyone else's. That careless error has tripped up no small number of business owners and managers. :-\ There are plenty of rural areas in the US - and elsewhere - where power cuts aren't rare events at all. That in fact was the case for the area where I live, up until a few years ago. It worthwhile to add a changeover panel and inverter for backup power to some circuits. If an EV buyer lived in such an area, and (for example) had a freezer full of expensive food, he might very well choose an EV with backup power capability over a similarly priced one that didn't have it. IMO, we should welcome that kind of competition in the EV business. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.

The net is a series of tubes (Stevens, 2006) through which cats carry information in packets (Butterworth, 2011). The failure modes have been less well studied. Several exist, but to date the most researched are fracture, disjunc- tion, and joule-based disruption. FRACTURE causes complete regional internet failure. It occurs when construction or other human activity severs or collapses an underground tunnel through which the cats travel. The symptom of DISJUNCTION is high lat- ency; the usual cause is hooligans placing containers of tuna or cream at tunnel junctions. Data corruption results from JOULE- BASED DISRUPTION, caused by the static charge that accumulates as long-haired cats speed through the tunnels. This shocks the cats, who drop their packets. -- Lolapin (2020) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
