...environmental research Robert Wimmer testified before the Senate this week, and said: “If we are to make dramatic progress in electrification, it will require overcoming tremendous challenges, including refueling infrastructure, battery availability

Facts don't matter to white liberal elites...they want to pat themselves on the back for 'saving motha earf'.... again, and again, and again... So they'll mandate one more disaster...

Problem, what problem? It is the goal of the left to limit travel of the masses.

Still wondering how to generate heat in the winter in an electric automobile. Electric trains are at least connected permanently to their power source, whether third rail or overhead wire, so resistive heating is readily available. Internal combustion cars use the heat from the engine (via heat exchange from hot coolant to heater core) to heat the car’s interior; no such device for electric vehicles.

Going all electric will be a disaster. Merge electric with “self driving” and you have mindless chaos, high power costs, and total control of the population.

Two items to contribute. 1) I was reminded recently that ‘fast charging’ a battery diminishes the life and performance of the battery. Trickle charge keeps batteries functioning longer. 2) On a very hot day, I can run my car’s air conditioner all day, I just have to get gas every 500 miles or so. Not so with EV. I once witnessed a clear demonstration of the EV downside in very hot weather. We were in La Quinta and this Tesla was driving very fast with ALL the windows down. It was 120 degrees outside, but this Tesla could not risk turning on the AC, it takes too much power, and the Tesla would have run out of energy. I imagine a similar scenario in snow country, only then the Tesla driver could not ‘afford’ to run the heater. God bless hydrocarbons! We can literally pour energy into our vehicles!

got no use for a vehicle I have to shut down for 4 hours every 300 miles.

How many electrical charging stations are there on I-90 between Spokane and Chicago?

They are only useful as commuter cars in the cities/burbs. And then only as a SECOND vehicle.

First large electromagnetic burst from the sun and electric cars are definitely useless.

EV’s are The Big Lie. Coal fired, their batteries manufacturing process and disposal is unsustainable from an environmental point of view. Hardly a “green” thing.

looks like in a couple of decades toyota and honda will totally dominate manufacturing and supplying transportation vehicles of all types worldwide ...

Electric cars are not efficient enough or cost effective enough to use.

The electricity is generated and then transmitted to a charging station. All that eats up power. Compare it to a traditional ICE, and it is pretty bad

Sudden tornado warning and your car us not charged. Your wife goes into labor and your car is not charged. A hurricane is coming inland and your car us not charged. A tornado or hurricane knocks down power lines and your car is not charged.

A military launches a "Pearl Harbor" attack and your car is not charged. A tsunami is coming and your car is not charged. Your husband is severely injured working on something at home and your car is not charged. Last of all, are police cars, SWAT team or other vehicles used to enforce the law against a public rejecting electric vehicles going to be electric?

Why isn’t roof of an EV a solar panel? Serious question. You park in the summer sun and then the sun can trickle charge the battery.

UPDATE FROM KALIFORNIA: U.S. senators press Biden to set end date for gas-powered car sales
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-emissions-california-exclusive-idUSKBN2BE111

Not sure how my $360 gas-powered generator would run when ERCOT cut us off or another Harvey or Claudette rolls through if gas/ICE is no more......oh wait, I should go all in for thousands on solar panels and TESLA walls right?
