Daily review is also your post.
This provides Standardistas the opportunity to review events of the day.
The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy).
Don’t forget to be kind to each other …
A good example of the misinformation we are being dished up …….
New Zealanders don’t “really care” about the details of one of the Labour Party’s key election policies, leader Chris Hipkins claims.

Mod note
Apologies, my error, I was presenting the quote as the heading in bold for emphasis.
No worries. Bolding a few words for emphasis is fine, but bolding whole sentences starts to look like moderation notes – Mods do prefer it when Mod notes stand out.
CATL, the worlds biggest battery manufacturer has announced details of their sodium ion batteries.
$US19 per kwh as opposed to around $55-$60 kwh for current lithium ion.
Other numbers;175wh per kg, 6,000,000 kms lifespan (you will wear out the steering wheel and seats before the battery drops to 85% capacity), -40C to 70C range for operating, full speed charging at low temps, cheaper using sodium, aluminium and carbon.
Not just EV but home and industrial
Very Excite!
