3.5mm is an audio source, USB is a data source. Any headphone with a USB plug also has to convert digital to audio, something your phone already does. USB is not a replacement by any means.

It still degrades audio quality and that’s an area I refuse to compromise on.
The smartphone is not the expensive part of my mobile audio playback setup, I expect it to be compatible with the standard playback interface of wires.
Really? They’re much better audio quality than bluetooth.
No, the need is still present. Headphone jacks are pretty essential still, wireless tech is not a replacement.
It’s a line item in my monthly budget. I run some future simulations to ensure that number is set high enough to at least be in the ballpark to achieve my future goals.
I treat the monthly number less like a goal and more like a required expense to attain what I am hoping to attain.
8,000 is the average annual total count, usually spread across ~3months (July, Aug, Sept). The 1,100 number quoted is currently burning today. As of August 17 the count (active and extinguished) so far this year was up to 5,765.
The size of fires is really the staggering figure with 13.75 million hectares (137,500 km² roughly the size of Arkansas or Greece) burned so far, while the average annual total burned area is usually only 2.1 million hectares.
~$240,000/yr household pre-tax income to qualify for a $900,000 30yr mortgage at 5.09% with a few assumptions.
Keep in mind that a $300k down payment is quite small for someone looking at a $1.2MM home ($240k is the absolute minimum). Most have a much larger chunk of equity from their prior condo before looking at a “benchmark” sized listing.
But there’s very low likelihood that a battery will need replacing within the first 20 years.
1-5% of total range capacity per year on average
That’s nowhere near how little degredation is actually seen in the data you yourself provided.
And you’re cherry-picking the worst car in the study to highlight (Tesla Model S).
That doesn’t seem relevant to my ask of clarity on the second point that doesn’t involve accidents.
8-10yrs? Why on earth would a functioning 500km range EV that’s 10yrs old be labelled as scrap-worthy?
Care to explain? They’re a massive environmental leap forward from ICE vehicles. Many places in Canada need transport just like personal vehicles, and transportation is a huge portion of Canada’s GHG emissions. So how else would we reduce that portion of our environmental footprint?

At a glance these look ontario-specific, am I off-base? Never heard of TVO before.
