Electric cars need burning fossil fuels since there is not enough electricity from wind or solar or hydro or nuclear.

except when they are all on a boat on fire and in the middle of the ocean

And what is the ‘carbon footprint’ of thousands of burning electric cars in the Atlantic?

That’s the problem with these battery operated car lovers....the can’t wrap their minds around where the other end of that charge cord is connected to.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It can only be transferred.

And in many places, 70 percent of electric comes from burning fossil fuels.

But don’t tell anyone :)

>> Electric cars need burning fossil fuels since there is not enough electricity from wind or solar or hydro or nuclear. <<

Electric cars are also far more efficient. And natural gas creates far less carbon per unit energy than gasoline. And electric cars can charge during peak production hours and use the energy during peak demand hours.

And what kind of carbon footprint is produced when those cars are made; then too, where do they get their recharging power from?

And how long does it take to fully charge an electric vehicle? I’ve read as little as a half hour to several hours. It only takes 2-3 minutes to fill a gas tank. Imagine getting to a charge port and there are a few people ahead of you in line.

Where I live, electric cars are powered by coal and some natural gas.

I know they are lying about battery charging and discharging cycles as the energy efficiency is so low that even if you use a small carbon input for the power generation you don’t need much carbon in order to produce more carbon than an internal combustion engine.

The most carbon efficient engines run at a constant rpm because the engine can be tuned to high precision and efficiency but we only see these currently in large transportation vehicles such as ships and trains.

Drive a Tesla=-

Go, ahead, drive one.

Not look at one in pictues.

Drive it.

It’s phookin awesome.

Battery tech is improving every day. It’ll get there. Li will be replaced.

“Burst into flames” sounds like the argummenst used by Edison against Edison, or early gas cars.

That's true but minor compared to the machinery required to dig the lithium for the damn batteries:

Komatsu 960E, 3,500hp, 18 Cylinder Diesel, 1400 gallon fuel tank.

And you can lay 100% of the blame for the lack of power generating facilities at the feet of Commiecrats who fight every proposal regardless of method of production.

As soon as Washington,DC. and our humble servants all go EV and otherwise green like they want for the commoners..then I will be all in.

AAA (batteries) to the rescue!

Oversized electric golf karts make liberals feel good by virtue signaling.

I would like to see a carbon foot print.
