EVne.ws/patreon   Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 26th November 2018. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through EV story today so you don’t have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Hello to new Patreon Producer of the show Alex Banahene (pron: ban-a-he-knee)   @IanDBurrows "One of the 12 BYD Electric buses in use daily now in Liverpool. Even goes via Anfield. Future episode on real world buses. What other cities have them operating?"   TESLA SUPERCHARGERS GET A THANKSGIVING WORKOUT "Thanksgiving is the busiest travel time in the US and it serves as a great stress test for electric vehicle charging architecture, like Tesla’s Supercharger network." reports Fred for Electrek: "Nico Wirz reported a long line of Model 3’s waiting for a spot at the Burbank Supercharger yesterday. On Tuesday, Kevin Sanchez reported 8 cars waiting to charge at the Culver City Supercharger, which is one of the bigger ones with 16 charge points. Northern California is also getting some significant traffic this week. The Concord Supercharger, which has 19 Superchargers, was also full on a few occasions this week. Tesla apparently took some precautions at high traffic stations by limiting the time you could charge to 40 minutes. Anticipating higher use this week, Tesla even had a mobile technician on site to help out any owner if they have issues."   https://electrek.co/2018/11/24/tesla-supercharger-network-rough-test-holiday-travels/   ELON MUSK CONSIDERS MOVE TO MARS DESPITE 'GOOD CHANCE OF DEATH' There's a new ELon Musk interview which will be aired by the time you hear this, its Axios on HBO with Elon Musk. In a leaked quote he says "“I know exactly what to do, I’m talking about moving [to Mars]. We think you can come back but we’re not sure. Your probability of dying on Mars is much higher than on Earth. It’s gonna be hard. There’s a good chance of death, going in a little can through deep space.” As reported by today's Guardian: "The Axios website trailed the interview a day before the scheduled Mars landing of the Insight spacecraft. According to the Associated Press, the Nasa vehicle will use “a mechanical mole to tunnel 16ft deep to measure internal heat, and a seismometer to register quakes, meteorite strikes and anything else that might start the red planet shaking”. Should he succeed in landing on Mars, he expects to work “nonstop to build the base”. There will, he said, be “not much time for leisure. And even after doing all this, it’s a very harsh environment. So … there’s a good chance you die there. We think you can come back but we’re not sure. Now, does that sound like an escape hatch for rich people?” Musk also said he thought “the ad for going to Mars would be like Shackleton’s ad for going to the Antarctic”. While preparing for his expedition to the South Pole, which began in 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton is supposed to have placed an advertisement in the Times of London that read: “Men wanted for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honour and recognition in case of success.”   https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/25/elon-musk-move-mars-chance-of-death?CMP=share_btn_tw   NEW YORK SPURS EV SALES WITH FAST CHARGERS AND LOWER POWER RATES "New York has unveiled a string of programs that it hopes will incentivize EV purchases in the state. In addition to an existing Drive Clean Rebate knocking as much as $2,000 off EV purchases, the state is deploying as many as 200 150kW fast chargers in "more than two
