IONIQ 3, 700km Merc & Japan’s Solar Balls
G’day legends! Rob here.
Welcome to Episode 5 of the SydEV Podcast.
This one is coming to you a bit early and a bit lean because I am currently being buried alive under a pile of invoices and gyprock.
Building a house is a great way to ensure you never have money or free time ever again.
Highly recommend it if you hate yourself.
Despite the "small things" (aka large bills) trying to stop me, we’ve got a big news but short on stories week of news:
Hyundai IONIQ 3: The "Aero Hatch" has arrived. It’s got a 0.263 drag coefficient, which makes it officially less aerodynamic than a fridge, but more aerodynamic than my house frame. Plus, I explain the "Megabox" pickup line you didn't know you needed.
The Mercedes EQC (GLC Electric): Mercedes finally built a proper EV platform. It’s got 713km of range and an Imax screen on the dash so you can watch movies while you wait for the plumber to show up.
Japan’s Solar Balls: Why have flat panels when you can have tiny spheres that catch light from every direction? It’s ball-ception, and it’s brilliant.
The Big Clean Flip: New data from Ember shows clean energy met 100% of global demand growth last year. We’ve finally stopped the fossil fuel rot, and solar is doing 75% of the heavy lifting.
Honda & The Self-Drive Retreat: Why the Japanese and Germans are finally admitting that we probably shouldn't sleep while driving a two-ton metal box.
What do you reckon? Would you trust a Solar Ball to power your kettle? And is 700km of range worth $110k?
