  • I see charging stations all over the map in Romania? But yeah, that’s understandable. Just unfortunate that it’s one of those supply/demand problem… no one would see the benefit of building a public charging station near their business if there’s not many people who’d use it.

    If you’re looking at used cars, that can also contribute. There’s basically no service needed, so there’s not as many people like who try to time selling their ICE car before they might need to do some more expensive servicing. And those who are selling for affordable prices are often much older models -> worst technology.

    But that’s all good points. Hopefully in 10 years the used electric market can become somewhat sustainable…







  • Exactly. The Swedish government or something did some study recently to determine if we’d be able to be self-sufficient under a longer time if we needed to be, as we currently have a lot of food imports. The conclusion was “yes, but there won’t be as much food diversity”.

    However, they completely ignored the fact that we only have a ~90 days strategic reserve of oil, and that basically all the machining used for farming runs on diesel. And there’s currently no goals to change that.

    If we can’t import or refine diesel anymore, we will starve.
