I think this is more of an eventual tax grab. They can’t tax your electric use at home if you have an EV but they can at the pump and at work.
“So, charge during peak usage hours and you need less generation resources? Huh?”
No. They are using the California model where solar power is a significant part of the mix and the sun don’t shine at night.
Not even a golf cart?
Really makes me want to run out and drop $90k on a new Tesla.
Perhaps, but in Indiana (and I assume most other states), on a EV, they tax you for what you’re not paying in fuel tax via your yearly registration.
“Folks in Cleveland should however retain their gasoline credit card. Their ICE cars will need gasoline.”
Why? Most of Ohio’s electricity comes from coal, nuclear then NG.
They will tax your tires, which EVs go thru faster than ICE vehicles because of their added weight, and they will tax your TAGS at a higher cost that offsets the gasoline road taxes you won’t be paying..............
The loonies in Montpelier and Burlington want it both ways.
If I'm lucky they won't turn me onto compost.
Soda cans takes 3 Oz of gasoline in energy to make.
(just giving some dumb non sequitur type of answer you’ll get from the EV crowd)
Solar panels on roofs and parking lots direct to car chargers?
The article mentioned “electrical storage”, i.e. giant battery banks.
You only avoid that by massive solar generation and daytime charging. Or wind power, more wind during the day usually.
School buses don’t take 24,000+ gallons of water and hours to put out.
Your non sequitur answers are retarded.
LOL!!
Chu Chu Willie........he must have passed on.
Another non-sequitur:
Somebody pointed out that even small “innocuous” LiON batteries (like those in loud and long lasting greeting cards) that wind up in landfills can degrade, combust, and start hard to extinguish fires when they ignite methane etc.
Another “unintended consequence” of Lithium batteries might be, how do we get rid of them?
Maybe we can drop them in used-up lithium mines.
had to wait a few minutes behind a pickup truck. FWIW, I pulled into the gas station.....and had a wait a few minutes for the guy in front of me to fuel up......@ $3.430/gal......
the amount due on his *fillup* was $3.439.
People are hurting out here on the fruited plain. DC and state legislators remain oblivious to joe six-pack.
HAHA!@
