Speaking of weather, someone mentioned recently if they say in the Gulf Coast or Atlantic states “evacuate now” for a big flood or hurricane, EV owners will have to fight each other for rechargers and wait while they work.

And hope the EVs don’t die again waiting for long hours in the gridlocked traffic jams in the distance.

What else do we have to do to make a wasteful, inefficient technology work?

...EV tires wear out really fast (under 10,000 miles) due to the heavy weight and new ones cost a lot to cope with the weight. And release chemicals into the air...

I think we have lost some technology along the way.

My aging F250 weighs plenty, and the tires certainly got the "cost a lot" and "chemicals in the air" parts going on, but they last a lot longer than 10k miles.

The charger doesn’t have to have the cable, the car owner could snap in their own cable.

They’ll find a way. Put some chewed gum in the receptacle, for example.

You Dodge guys and us Chevy guys can laugh while we can but I predict it won’t be long before you have to use the last pic for all three.

Every apartment building with chargers?
All that copper wire just laying about for the stealing.
One fire and whoosh! all the cars and the building are destroyed. Some of the people may make it out alive....

Yes, it seems Dodge is going woke.

Oh, there is a reason. They are making their contributors wealthy by supporting the green movement’s allied businesses. This goes for some corrupt US businesses AND corrupt businesses in other countries, especially RED CHINA.

I thought that in the new modern cities, everything that we needed would be within a 15 minute walk.

That will be coming, as people are forced into high-rise towers built on former parking lots and garages. Authorities are first weaning us off of gasoline cars, then they will force us to give up on private ownership of any vehicles. The idea is to reclaim all that space utilized by private vehicles, and to force us to live within walking distance of jobs and stores. Problem is, lack of useful public transportation to go elsewhere.

They'll force many of us to use bicycles, buses and taxis. All subsidized by taxing all the money job-holding people make. Everything they say we "need" will be within a 15 minute walk, but none of what we want will be available.

That’s called living in NYC. I lived there as a kid. It’s a soul-crushing, demoralizing experience. It’s no way to live.

Yeah we have unlimited trillions to pay for this eco-garbage and trillions more for multitudes of other eco-rip-off-garbage that The Feds demand and pass laws for.

All in the name of the lie called global warming.

Did they count this in the EV costs? I don’t think so. We need a surcharge on EV’s. Say $10,000 per car?

But the new item to me (you guys knew all along?) is the EV tires wear out really fast (under 10,000 miles) due to the heavy weight and new ones cost a lot to cope with the weight. And release chemicals into the air.

More or less a bogus argument. Heavy trucks (including freight trucks) cause the majority of tire wear waste into the environment, and no one complains about that. Might as well ban freight trucks and buses. Then there are the tire blowouts that frequently happen with heavy trucks, causing accidents on highways. And they cause wear and tear of the road surfaces, making potholes that ruin vehicle suspensions.

A nuclear power plant on every building? Because that’s the only way EVs (fagwaggons) even have a prayer.

Apartment dwellers will park by chargers in their apartment parking lot, which might have charge minimums.

Bad idea. Better to have a shuttle van or bus operated by the apartment building to transport dwellers and charge a minimum. Already done by hotels and such.
