[Wayback/Archive] Vehicle-to-Grid: Bidirektionales Laden lässt Akkus am stärksten altern – Golem.de
Dass sich über smartes oder bidirektionales Laden Geld sparen lässt, ist aber kaum zu bestreiten. Das ist vor allem dann der Fall, wenn man den eigenen Solarstrom im E-Auto zwischenspeichert und für den Eigenbedarf nutzt. Doch dem steht die Anschaffung einer teuren Wallbox gegenüber.
This corrects the car-market centric article [Wayback/Archive] Bidirektionales Laden beeinträchtigt die Lebensdauer von Elektroauto-Batterien nicht – Sonnenseite – Ökologische Kommunikation mit Franz Alt
Bidirektionales Laden (V2G) wirkt sich nur minimal auf die Gesamtalterung aus und bringt dem E-Autofahrenden einen Mehrwert von 600 Euro pro Jahr.

The USA now have data to prove this: [Wayback/Archive] 75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are Why
We knew bigger cars were killing more pedestrians; now there’s data to prove it.
They are not cars (like the EU currently regards them), but trucks that can go as fast as cars, but don’t have the extra safety measures that regular trucks have.
So when is the EU going to ban or heavily restrict these?

[Wayback/Archive] Monitor Brandstofprijzen ACM: lichte daling brandstofprijzen gehele keten, diesel weer goedkoper dan benzine | ACM
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Autoriteit Consument & Markt: “⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehe…” – social.overheid.nl (Mastodon)
⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehele brandstofketen zijn licht gedaald ten opzichte van een maand. Diesel is aan de pomp weer goedkoper dan benzine. Het beeld dat gemiddelde winstmarges niet bij tankstations, maar bovenin in de keten zijn gestegen blijft onveranderd. Dat blijkt uit onze Monitor Brandstofprijzen.

As a memory to our almost identical Swiss W116 450SEL 6.9 a video in Swiss German about it: [Wayback/Archive] Ein Blick zurück – das beste Auto der 70er Jahre – YouTube.
This one with fabric, white headlights and ABS, ours with leather, yellow headlights plus headlight wipers, and no ABS (it took around chassis numbers ending around 750 until ABS was available: ours was slightly earlier)
