The owner of an electric GMC Hummer recently posted a video showing that his car will take five days to fully charge using the basic home charging set up.

“This is a brand new hummer and it’s got the largest battery you can buy,” he announces. “250-kilowatt hours of battery in this truck.”
The narrator shows his car’s charger connected to a standard wall outlet, plugging it in and then showing the display that indicates the charge won’t be complete for five days.
“And that’s what happens when you try to charge the largest battery truck using a 120 outlet,” he adds. “Of course, you could have a level two or fast charger which would make it a lot quicker.”
According to the Post Millennial, the level two and fast EV chargers the man references are both significantly more costly to install, despite the increased charging capacity.
Several states, including New York and California, are barring the purchase of gas-powered vehicles. Many of those same states did not consider that adjusting for the change would involve producing more electricity.
In order to keep up with the demand, California implemented rolling blackouts in the summer of 2022.
EV owners in Florida discovered that the salt-water flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian caused their cars to catch fire.
The cost of producing electric vehicles is also significant.
Miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo dig cobalt out of the ground by hand. Many have been killed or crippled.
Even Alan Dangour, the Wellcome Trust’s director for climate and health, acknowledged the considerable dangers of mining cobalt in a panel appearance at the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland, according to the Daily Caller.
“There is now very nice evidence, in fact, on the impact it has on the health of women and children, especially it has substantial negative impact on fetal growth and fetal health,” Dangour said. “So—but that’s evidence that’s relatively new and relatively recently identified. So, the reason I’m saying this is there are trade-offs here.”
In December, President Joe Biden guaranteed that by 2030 50% of vehicles purchased in the U.S. will be electric, and the federal government will exclusively buy EVs by 2035.
California announced a similar plan, adding a ban of any non-electric vehicles by 2035.
Wyoming, meanwhile, has followed a different path. The state, which relies heavily on the fossil-fuel industry to drive its economy, recently proposed a bill to ban all electric vehicles by 2035, The Hill reported.

Ladies, steer clear. This dude makes bad life decisions.
Watts = Volts x Amps
Very good!

Why not? The experts have been telling them this for years!
"Who the hell passed that law?!?!?!....We'll get it repealed, pronto!...." -- Obama-Biden Acolyte (Actual quote).........
Probably would have been better. I was trying to figure out how an electric hammer works....
I don’t think anyone really has any electric car who does not have a faster charging system than this. Even a Volt would be annoying on a 120 line.
Sucker!
Never try to charge your EV with a laptop power supply.
Why are you being so judgemental? I heard James Watt’s second cousin twice removed owned slaves!
Why can’t you charge your EV’s battery from one of those new onboard USB-C ports?
“There is now very nice evidence, in fact, on the impact it has on the health of women and children, especially it has substantial negative impact on fetal growth and fetal health,”
They’ll have to do better than that. The Dems LOVE killing fetuses.
It would be nice to know how far this largest battery fully charged will take this vehicle before it runs out of juice.
Ohm’s law may be valid, but with a Soros funded prosecutor you can break it freely without any fear of repercussions.
If you do the math, at 110 volts and 20 amps, a full charge on 250KW would take 113.6364 hours or about 4.73 days.
However... That assumes 100% efficiency of the equipment used to charge the battery. I doubt the process is more than 85% efficient. It may be less. 85% efficiency would yield a charging time of 133.7 hours or 5.57 days.
I’ll check on cost per kw/hr and figure out the cost.
Used cars with internal combustion engines will one day be priceless if the lunatic Democrats remain in power.
He can spend his time shoveling snow while he waits
An EV in snow country... wait until this moron figures out that batteries don’t work so well when it’s cold out.
