I Test Drove a Chinese EV. Now I Don’t Want to Buy American Cars Anymore. — The Wall Street Journal

Amazing battery range, customizable interiors and sleek software—our columnist fell in love with a Xiaomi SU7 Max after driving it for a few weeks

that's what everyone says about chinese evs. until they see the spyware in them.

If you don’t think we have spyware in our US cars (phones, stores, parking lots, everywhere), you’re not paying attention.

I don’t how they do it, I was thinking about hamsters randomly the other day in the car, never said a word out loud and was hit with a hamster cage ad when I got home

Honestly mention one thing once! That’s all it takes!!

You accelerate and brake differently when you’re thinking about hamsters. It’s a very different pattern compared with how you brake and accelerate when you’re thinking about gators.

I bet you were thinking about how many hamsters and how large a wheel would it take to generate enough to push electricity back into your BEV…

Whoops - responded to the wrong post, but if anyone could calculate that it would be SpaceEVdriver!

And here I thought it was because he had driven that same drive so many times they thought he was on a hamster wheel.

Ya. You get ads for Alligator Étouffée.

Okay, fine.

If I recall correctly, @RodorW has a Chevy Bolt EUV. That has a ~350 Volt, 185 Ah battery.

To charge a battery, you need to generate a higher voltage than the voltage across the battery's positive and negative terminals. It doesn’t matter how many amps the generator can provide, the battery can’t charge until the voltage is high enough.

You can purchase a 380 Volt wind turbine for about $7800. This would provide the voltage necessary to charge the vehicle. At 100% power, it would charge at 52 Amps, so it would take just under 4 hours to fully charge the Bolt battery from 0%.

How many hamsters do you need?
The various intertubes suggest that an average hamster can produce about 0.5 Watts of power, regardless of the wheel it’s on.
350 Volts * 52 Amps =~ 20 kW, 20,000 Watts. So you need about 40,000 hamsters to produce the 100% power.

How big a wheel do you need? A very big wheel if you want to charge the battery at ~20 kW.

If you had just one hamster turning that turbine, it would take 65 kWh / 0.5 watts = 14.8 years to charge the battery from 0% to 100%, assuming no losses.

I love it!

Most all the people in this community are really great!
I'm looking forward to staying in this community long after I receive my Scout...
Hopefully I get to meet you folks along the way!

WOW! That looks legit. I hope they did't build it just for the show.
