EVs are just another means of controlling people. It has nothing to so with saving the environment.

I recently completed an 1100 mile trip in 16 hours in a 15-year old gas-driven car. It would probably take me three days in a shiny new electric vehicle.

Speed isn’t necessarily the problem. Finding, waiting for, and time spent recharging an EV at a recharging station is.

...2200 miles round trip. 32 hours of driving and tanking gas. My week long vacation to visit a relative would be twice as long—with half the time on the road—in an EV.

“Duh. You could FLY there and back in a fraction of the time and cost!”

True. But I like the freedom(!) of having my car with me to do what I want whenever and whereever I go! Even on long trips! I’ll take 16 hours of me in control of my destiny behind the wheel (and associated costs) over 8 hours of flying with the airlines, being hassled by TSA, and arranging for transportation at the destination to cover the same distance!

Don’t forget that every car out there represents at least 30-200 kilowatts of electricity to keep them running. A rapid recharge for their batteries will mean 1000k (at least) per car. I wonder if the people pushing electric cars an screaming “NO NUKES” have any idea,

****

and Im sure ANY idiot at the same charging station is a leftard. I make it a point to ignore or give a “murdering” vibe to any fag loving leftard I meet.

You get it, it is about control and limiting options.

Photos of Teslas in a crash with the batteries flying thru the sides of homes and spilling all over the street plus the battery fires that won’t go out. Starting up again in the junk yard. The environmental damage from the making of the batteries and the waste as the cars are totaled from even minor accidents.

yes there is a control aspect to it

as well as a surveillance aspect to it

they know where you are because you pay via cc

they could order power shut down to your charging station are and collect you, if they desired

The article is from the UK. The longest one-way journey is from Land’s End in Cornwall to John o’Groats at the northern tip of Scotland which is about 875 miles. I doubt too many take that long a trip there. So the electric car might come to Britain much sooner than it would be practical here.

The guy in the video linked below decided to see if he could drive 1000 miles in a day in a Tesla Model 3. He averaged 24 minutes per charging stop.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxA8Y69R6uM

He says he traveled 973 miles in 16.5 hours. (He stopped at his hotel instead of finishing the 1,000 miles.) That was divided into 14 hours 6 minutes of actual driving and 2 hours 24 minutes of charging. He kept the battery between 20% and 80% charged. He made six stops to charge, averaging 24 minutes each.

He says the actual practical range of the car for non-urban driving is about 250 miles, not 310 as claimed.
