Imagine living in an LA apartment and having to get up at 3am to wait for 3 hours in line to charge your car just enough to get to work and back that day. To charge any more would be selfish due to the long line behind you.
The liberals’ goal is not to force people to drive EVs. Their goal is to force people to move into high density apartments and ride mass transit. Then rich liberals can ride around in their expensive EVs and not have to sit in traffic.
A basic tenant of the “Green Movement” is not having any attached garages.
It should be.
This is one of the more insane ideas from government and the environmentalists.
I don’t think most in charge are stupid, I think this is the deliberate destruction of our economy and our freedom to travel.
I’m never going to live in a US city, as a certain demographic has ruined every single one.
I’d rather live in a tent in the woods; hunting a foraging for food...
I wish we had the conversion for EV usage in the United States. It’s going to get out of wack like UK.
I take my wife’s car to Costco and it takes 60 dollars to fill it. I take my care to the Electrify charger and it costs 17 dollars. I admit that I start at he at almost empty and fill it all the way, and my car start at 18% and only charges to 80%. That 60% is only 18 dollars so 100% would be 30 so I pay half as much for the number of miles.
Example: The claim was made here that an EV battery could be charged in 15 minutes. RME
An observation: EV proponrnts do not value their own usage of time. Life is short.
Now factor out the gas taxes on the gas car (as mentioned in the article), and the range difference between the gas and electric cars.
The old adage…”time is money” also applies. The recent experience of the guy spending 15 hours driving his EV on a 178 mile trip in Wyoming is a good example. Imagine if this guy’s job were in sales. How many customers could he see in a day? Consider an EV delivering crucial medical supplies. Would anyone trust the safety of their life or property if emergency services were dispatched in EVs?
Or the overnight motel you never used before on same route.
Tests so far on EV Cadillac show a range of 300 miles...
BASE cost of EV= $300,000 before dealer add-on, etc.
Cannot even drive from Los Angeles to San Fran or Reno with that range. Barely gets you to Las Vegas.
I’m building a low-income apartment complex (federal tax credit apartments). The plans call for placement of 2 EV charging station.
How many units?
There’s 200+ by me, zero EV charging stations.
It just dawned on me you said low income.
LOL, so there will be zero Tesla vehicles there...
Never EVER let up. Must assume everything that they push is a lie and opposite of the truth.
An EV can't make the trip in similar wall clock time. There will be additional stops for sleep/charging/eating. The addition time costs real money. In my case that would have meant burning Paid Time Off.
They only tell us what they want us to know. The rest they either ignore, hide or lie about.
Very important to understand that. Whatever they’re pushing benefits them.
16 units
