That’s good to know, that means in the next 5 years, EVs will be as practical to purchase (used) as ICE cars are.

I don’t have any data on me to be honest, most of what I hear is based on people I know purchasing second hand EVs, and from what I know of EVs. They suffer from battery degradation which right now is an expensive swap, and charger compatibility is heavily dependent on infrastructure that takes forever to roll out where I am. Internal combustion engines will run great even after 150,000 kms, whereas conventional electric cars and even hybrids show degradation at 80,000 on a few models.

Newer EVs likely have less of these problems, but when I talk of purchasing second hand, I’m talking cars that are 10+ years old.

I think people moving to EVs is great, but if you absolutely need to get a car, the more economical and environmentally friendly option is to purchase a second hand vehicle regardless if it’s electric or petrol based. Everyone suddenly switching to an EV would cause a catastrophic amount of waste to accrue. Second hand evs are also more expensive than second hand petrol cars AND are more likely to have problems. EV adoption will be gradual, but punishing the struggling working class for daring to use what they can afford AND not throwing working vehicles into the trash is pretty ignorant in my opinion.

Its true! I strongly believe in public transport. Particularly the transport that is also dependent on oil… Where I live though, if I wanted to get to work without my car it would change my trip time from 45m - 1.5h to about 2h-3h. Each way. I don’t feel like spending 6h travelling so it’s not really a choice for many of us.

I’m conflicted because more people joining the open source community and contributing is great. That said, open source is an ecosystem that covers everything from the application, to the build system and the code editor used to write the code. A lot of the people contributing to FOSS care a lot about the quality of their code, and being part of it means respecting the community.

But most of the AI models being used to write vibe coded or ai assisted code is not at all sustainable, it’s a huge part of the toolset that is locked behind corporate infrastructure. A lot of code spit out by LLMs is rarely workable or designed to be extended or transformed, and very few are critical of the quality of the code. I know even at work I’ve been frustrated at having to fix, work with or re factor code that has been written with the help of ai.

That’s not unfortunate to be honest. It’s how they can make a search engine that is both good and doesn’t harvest user data or rely on ads.
