It's so cold, Teslas are struggling to charge in Chicago
Jan 16 2024
"I've been here for over five hours at this point and I still have not gotten to charge my car," Tesla driver Brandon Welbourne told CBS News Chicago, as car horns blared nearby. "A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours."
Other drivers spoke about how the cold seemed to drain their batteries more quickly than normal.
On Monday, the local National Weather Service office recorded a rise to 1 degree Fahrenheit at Chicago-O'Hare Airport at 1 p.m. local time, adding, "This means that Chicago's climate site spent about 35-36 hours below 0°F."

6 hours ago A Recurrent analysis of 18 popular EV models found that, on average, their range dropped to around 70% in freezing conditions.
The big picture: Not only does charging take longer in freezing temperatures, some electric vehicle owners are surprised to find how much their car's
driving range is compromised by winter weather.

All over American news stations.
Which is why i said, a junior shifting lanes ( jumping into )
METHANOL via plat / nickel / cobalt production
= ahead of the pact
How important would plat group + nickel deposits be if
they're assigned to green methanol ?
Anyone notice, Canada has a carbon claw in the nickel junior's ?
Junior's With Mega Magnesium Value.
Yet... guided to marry carbon to magnesium
= but no magnesium credit in economic studies ??? ( smooth )
Any coincidence Magnesium demand will jump by
6x in, 2030.
special aluminum/magnesium alloys for cars, aviation.
Investors should see
iron and magnesium in the economics.
On another note - Isn't that something, FPX's extraction.
Pumping out a nickel oxide and hydroxide.
Dual Extraction.
Wink.
Amazing what fine grinding of nnickel silicate ore does.
= captures more, even solid solution.
As for Wellgreen ?
- 1/2 digestion assaying vs other juniors = sodium peroxide full digestion
- only sulphide intercepts - half the hole ?
- nickel silicates with plat group x-d out due to cut off bumped up ?
- shallow pits vs 56 yr mine life former reports
- blended ore to stockpile process later to lots of waste ?
- just how much tonnage do we really have ?
If nickel + iron sulphides blended into silicates
= still sulphide ( just has other silicate mineral constituents )
Time to revisit
2012 - 2014 extraction results
