Liebe E-Auto-Fahrenden,

wie sind denn eure Erfahrungen mit Ladesäulen in Kroatien (Istrien, Krk, und Slowenien?

Laut Chargemap sieht es mit Säulen > 50kW nicht so besonders gut aus, aber 50kW würden uns zur Not schon reichen (recht viel mehr schafft unser ID.3 normal eh nicht).

Why I dislike USB-C and thunderbolt so much
Every mobile device I have used (except for 2) have had their USB-C/Thunderbolt port destroyed before anything else (2 exceptions: one device had its screen cracked, while the other exception somehow managed to survive 2 years) because of the need for a plug-in charger. I have destroyed close to 10 charging ports to date (some have been repaired without replacing the device) I have never destroyed the charging port on a laptop, despite the laptops always having a longer lifespan (the laptops always have a non-USB-C charger as well) The charger itself usually lasts longer than the charging port. It is a really good thing wireless charging exists now, or my current mobile devices would have been abandoned over 5 years ago. Lately, USB-C ports can't even last 2 months for me. #usbc #thunderbolt #usb #plannedobsolescence #hardware #technology #ios #android #samsung #defective #charger #charging #usba #dongle #laptop #phone #ipod

Charging old Nokia phones from the 2000s can be tricky without the original charger: Simply applying 5 Volts DC to the connector (positive inside, negative outside) is not enough. You need to provide a pulsed voltage similar to the original Nokia charger or the phone will not charge.

Luckily, a square wave from a NE555 timer and a mosfet will be enough to provide a pulsed voltage that the phone will accept. The frequency also does not have to be exactly 50 Hz. The phone will also charge with a slightly higher frequency (56-57 Hz in my example).

Although this circuit might come 20 years too late, it still enables you to charge those old phones with any power supply that can output 5V DC.

Dodge revives muscle vibes with the Moparized Charger Sixpack concept at SEMA. The 550-hp turbo inline-six gets attitude through bold Stryker Purple paint, carbon accents, big Brembos, and a sportier stance. Inside, premium leather and яркие детали add flair. It’s more about style than power. But is that enough without a V8?
