EV super deal thought

As far as I know, we are going through the highest cost inflation in my lifetime. This means the price of everything is increasing and the cost of living is more. The Pandemic affected the speed of supplies and that brought up the cost. Speed is everything in capitalism, the faster you can supply a product the lower the cost and everything is connected. If a microchip factory can't produce micro processors very quickly then the cost will go up for all the things that use the chip, that is just one example. 

My small car has a 30 liter tank so it costs me £45 to fill my car with fuel. I fill my tank every week so this means I am paying £180 every month to fuel my car. My breakdown cover is £40 and crash insurance is £40.

 I am paying £260 per month for my car! 

Electric cars have 50 kilowatt-hour batteries on average so I could charge it up and have change left over from £10. I look for an EV deal where you get insurance and the car together for £150 per month. There are no such deals at the moment but I wait patiently. People will say why are you paying £150 for a car, I would say it is less than the price of fuel. The fuel cost of my car was £180 per month.  £150 per month for 5 years. No such deal exists because 50 kilowatt-hour batteries cost nearly £10,000. I wait for someone to invent a low cost high capacity battery, that will change the world. Electric cars wouldn't cost more than £25,000 if the battery only costs £500.

Car and Global Famine Thoughts

On this last bit of summer, I have become convinced there will be a global famine in the near future so I was thinking it would be a good idea to store extra food that lasts a long time for a grim period. We all live off plants, we eat tomatoes and rice, farm animals eat plants so even people that eat meat are eating plants. When crops fail a lot across the planet then food will become scarce and very expensive. Best to store light things like pasta and not too much tim food, the tins would be too heavy and damage the floor if you had thousands of them. 

I was also thinking about what I would call the 'EV super deal'; owning an new electric vehicle and paying only £200 per month for Finance, Insurance and Recharging. A car deal that resembles a phone contract. As far as I am aware, no such deal exists at the moment but I keep looking. 

I also was thinking about e scooters, wouldn't it make sense just to paint an orange line on the pavement, the pedestrians know to stay away from the orange line and the e scooter rider knows they need to stay as close to the orange line as possible. Electric scooters make sense because they are powered vehicles and use electricity, they are good for the environment. 

I also tried to imagine what an electric car would look like in the future. I imagined there would be more space in the cabin because there is no engine block and no bonnet, there would be room for 9 seats and the car would still be small. I also imagined the wheels would be smaller than today's cars because the breaking system doesn't use friction so the wheels don't need a large surface area to cool down, the factory that makes the wheels could fit more of them in a truck if they were smaller. I also imagined there would be a lazer projector on the car that projects dots onto the road because they don't make any sound and people get run over often so they should see the lazer dots on the road before the car. I also imagined the car would be covered in solar panels that let visible light pass through but use infrared and Ultraviolet light to generate power. I also imaged that the kinetic transmission is in the wheels, there would be no kinetic transmission inside the car itself. In today's cars, kinetic transmission starts in the middle of the engine block and moves backwards to the gear lever cartridge then through an axel to the wheels; in the future the wheels themselves would be the electric motor. This is all just a guess based on my logic.

Mid August thoughts

Common thoughts that I am having in the middle August in 2021 is realising that there is a lot of Ragime changes this year, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Hungary, even the USA. 

I am also regularly looking for the E.V. super deal, I want an electric vehicle that costs less than £200 per month to run including insurance, recharging and finance. I sense it will only come along when someone invents the low cost high capacity battery, the power cell that doesn't use rare earth metals like Lithium. I wait patiently for a genius to invent it and change the world for the better. 

It was in the middle of August that I used a smart bulb for the first time. I can ask my smart speaker to turn the light off or on for me and even change the colour. I can also set routines so the light changes colour and turns off and on at different times of the day according to a schedule set by me. I can even set time triggered routines so my smart speaker will say things without being prompted. If I learn a lot from my smart speaker, then it is worth getting.
