We’re going to need about 200 nuclear power plants for starters.
Imagine having to set up an appointment to charge your car and that appointment is 2 weeks away. You are immobile.
Imagine having an emergency and your car doesn’t have enough of a charge to get to a hospital or to get to your child.
Imagine being at the mercy of a corrupt government who forecasts blackouts and has NO indication of strengthening the grid and is doing everything they can to limit energy resources.
Thank a democrat.
They have proven to be so unreliable. That is terrifying in a seconds count scenario.
The switch to ev’s is just another way to control the lower class by the ruling class. Like everything, follow the money.
EVs suck and so does anyone who drives them and pushes them. They are anything but environmentally friendly as the article states and that’s the big thing that needs to be pushed.
Why it isn’t on a daily basis baffles me.
The norm today new construction single family homes is 200 amp service. With all of these mandates, you will now need a 400 amp main service panel, and the infrastructure in your neighborhood to support all of the homes going from 150-200 amp service to 400-500 amp service.
And there are no spare wheels in an EV (in the interest of driving range) so good luck waiting for a tow truck to get the tire repaired in the event of a puncture.
Poor people who live in the boonies will never be able to afford a $60,000 or so ew electric vehicle, and often the boonies are out of power for days on end when storms tear down electric wires. The gov would be guilty of murder if they force everyone to give up their gasoline vehicles, and make gasoline far too expensive sive for the poor to buy.
This nation has gone freaking Insane!
Its to get everyone except the elites off the road.
They also think “fossil fuels” will destroy the planet within a decade and run out soon—despite the fact that, after water, oil is the second most abundant liquid on this planet.
Just to show how little the enviro-Nazi think about their ideas; if it is true that coal and oil are fossil fuels all of that carbon that now exist as coal and gas was once living matter was once Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.
That would necessitate that long before humans existed on Earth Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere were hugely greater than today. Those higher CO2 levels permitted a far more lush climate than exist in the modern world.
Low CO2 levels in the atmosphere is limiting the abundance of life on Earth not human technology.
Seeing how governments could integrate EVs into a larger high-tech control grid doesn’t take much imagination. The potential for busybodies—or worse—to abuse such a system is obvious."
This right here.
Plus, it limits your ability to travel.
So when you're not locked in your 15 minute city, you're being spied on.
bttt
The game is to have the underclass, the working class and the middle class use public transit. You will not own an EV.
That is all. The state of transit in the US is terrible. Europe has a very good rail system. You can grab a train every 15 minutes to a destination in some cities. Buses run on time and a lot.
I would not take a bus in some cities in the US out of fear for my life.
It will cost as much to upgrade the Public Utility Grids than it will cost to purchase ALL the EV’s combined.
Right now, there is a huge shortage of Transformers because the new grid will require twice as many!
I don’t know why we don’t see protest demonstrations going on in Detroit at the HQ of General Motors. Surely there must be enough serious car owners out there who would like to slap the EV-AV movement out of their hands. Tell GM to keep their hands off of the keys to our own cars and the propulsion systems we prefer. Ford in Dearborn, and wherever the hell Chrysler is anymore- the same goes for them. Don’t let them make you look like one of their climate activist customers by giving in. You’d still be a just another customer who’s never right!
That’s why Musk is using diesel fuel for his charging stations.
Number 4. Politicians are making a fortune off of Chinese bribes.
Where do they think all this electricity will come from?
doesn’t the biden regime still use ICE’s in his motorcade?
If they are supposed to be everything him, granholm and booty juice claim, then he should set the example.
