Those fees are fairly common in hotels in large cities and places popular with tourists- "resort fee", "facility fee", and so forth. You see that sometimes with car rentals, where there is a fee for the facility- typically Class B airports. That adds to the hotel bill- City tax, state tax...

I haven't been able to go there is too many years, but I remember that as a great show. If I were close, I'd happily go. Back then, a Citabria would be too "new" to fly there- planes that looked pre WW2 were allowed with prior permission.

I don't have them under continuous observation, but one of our customers is just down the road from me in Iowa, in Coralville. I drove past the farms off I-80 4x this year, and often overfly them going between KLNK and KORD where I can often see them. While there are always a handful of...

Coal subsidies, subsidies to oil companies (https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fact-sheet-proposals-to-reduce-fossil-fuel-subsidies-january-2024). Many EVs companies in the USA are past the time their cars can be subsidized. Actually, you'd be surprised about how vocal the Chinese can be. They...

Norway, Sweden, and Iceland seem to manage. I understand it is cold and dark in those countries in winter. Northern China also gets cold, away from the coast. People got a "wake-up call" last winter when a cold snap kept cars from charging properly...

I wasn't trying to say one country is better than another. The same reference I cited also showed Iceland (around 40%) and Sweden (around 30%) EV market share of new vehicles. I haven't heard any of my friends or colleagues being coerced into buying a particular car. That's also not something...

Ok, what about Norway, where EVs have 80% market share? They also need to build all the infrastructure. Norway isn't a dictatorship. https://www.wri.org/insights/countries-adopting-electric-vehicles-fastest

I'm only an "expert" relative to most people here. There's many people who know more than I. But to answer your question, They actually built the infrastructure to charge these vehicles. Both power and also at the consumer end. Those are choices made by the USA. It's not a technical issue...

What I see when I'm in Shenzhen and Shanghai. I'll grant that they probably have more cars sold than elsewhere. California probably has more electric cars than the rest of the nation, but I don't see that they are a very large proportion of the vehicle population as I see in China. China still...

Yeah- whatever- You replied to my comment about whether people can charge vehicles in an urban setting, but now you won't answer the question. I know that I need to be careful crossing the street in China because almost half the cars are electric....and you can't hear them coming through the...

You still haven't explained why Chinese people, despite living in multidwelling homes and parked on the street, are able to charge their electric cars. Nearly 47% of their cars are electric. As for the rest of it...the sources disagree.

How about as a percentage of total energy? And I did make a mistake- while we are removing dams, most of those were not energy producers. This reference seems to contradict this comment: https://www.power-technology.com/data-insights/hydropower-in-china/?cf-view In any case, you still...

We are using less hydroelectric too. How many dams are being removed in the USA? How many people in PoA were complaining about the replacement of coal plants with renewable alternatives? That was a platform on one of the current presidential candidates a few years ago- more coal. When the USA...

The law wasn't passed- your own post said it was voted down. As for practicality, China somehow makes it work- about 40% of their cars are electric already. Show me the law in any state that says you have to give up your gas car in 2035 (or 2030).

I didn't say that China has a better safety record. No one said that anyone was killed except you. With Weibo, WeChat, and other internal social media, it's difficult to "cover up" accidents of this sort. Jack Ma didn't "toe the line" and he "disappeared" for a while...

You haven't shown I'm wrong- you are just stating an uninformed opinion. I once paid for a helicopter ride in Orlando. it was nice, not too expensive, and only 10 minutes. This would be the same sort of thing. A quick ride around the waterfalls. In China, if someone makes the government look...

You are cherry-picking the data. Read BOTH references. Emphasis mine. As for tourism operations, I've been to China. You almost certainly haven't. Baiyun (White Cloud) Mountain (in Guangzhou) does very well. As does Shenzhen Safari Park. Suzhou is famous for their gardens. The Yu Garden in...

What's funny? eVTOLS exist now and carry passengers. https://www.militaryaerospace.com/commercial-aerospace/article/55093287/ehang-takes-passengers-on-evtol-demo-flights-in-china https://www.airport-technology.com/news/china-ehang-passenger-flights-evtol-wencheng/

Actually, in China, they have.
