A week ago, I wrote an article about a guy in the UK with two high-mileage Tesla Model S sedans that are still using their original batteries. One has about 430,000 miles on its battery and the other has around 375,000 miles, also on one battery. They are both still operating as well — again, on their original batteries.

I am interested in getting a portable solar power station. I have done research until I am blurry-eyed. I’m leaning heavily toward the Anker SOLIX F3800 (heavy beast). I want this for when shore power goes out. We just had this at the state park we are camp hosting at. All sites in the loop except three and bathrooms didn’t have power for 12 hours until the issue was fixed. It IS HOT! We are in the Texas Grand Canyon. Visitors were put in other camping loops where there were openings. What if there were no openings?

A new battery technology could allow electric vehicles to drive for a million kilometres, according to the researchers who created it.Alongside battery capacity, their lifespan remains one of the big drawbacks of electric vehicles. After some time, those battery degrade and need to be replaced – which can be costly, environmentally damaging and complicated.Much of the problem comes from the way that lithium secondary batteries of the kind used in electric vehicles store their charge. They do so by converting electrical energy into chemical energy to store it, and then turn back into electrical energy to use it.They do that by...
