Quite a report…

It's just a matter of time before the VW group announces a partnership with Tesla Energy as well.

Sources tell Electrek that Rivian has been in talks to acquire the world’s most popular EV route planning service, Sweden-based A Better Route Planner (...)

We’re also told that Rivian has no plans to shut down either the front-end service for other EV owners who still want to use the service for their non-Rivian EVs nor the back end service for other carmakers and services. Polestar and some European brands currently use the backend service native in Android Automotive.

• ceramic electrolyte
• twice the volumetric energy density of unspecified current battery chemistry
• gravimetric energy density not specified, but likely at least 30% less than current NMC chemistries
• assessment samples go to automakers this year
• extremely high cost

Last summer I drove my Renault Zoe 41kWh about 4200km around France and Spain. Wrong car for so many reasons but it worked. Did you do any long trips? Which cad did you use and do you have any advice?
