  • It’s not clear how automakers will respond to this deregulation, as they all operate globally and the U.S. accounts for just one, albeit big, market.

    Its going to come down to money.

    Is the tech to keep it cleaner cheaper than not?

    If it saves them $50 a car to use something less clean they’ll use it if they can sell it nationwide vs using the more expensive part for global exports.

    If they can’t do it at a national level due to specific state rules, then they’d probably just use the more expensive option everywhere to keep production and supply chains for the country the same.





  • There are newer LFP portable batteries with <10ms UPS switch times that charge quickly and will keep the power on longer. They also have much longer battery life’s (3000+ cycles) , and LFP cells don’t degrade the same when kept at 100% like other types, although you should still cycle them a few times a year.

    Bluetti makes some, the elite series has their latest UPS features. The non elite are slower and noisier.

    Its all fairly new and have been improving year over year. For example, earlier models may not have switched back on if power was out for a long time and it fully drained the battery. Now some models can turn back on.

    Edit: more details.
