I want to see the photo of their car towing the gas or diesel powered electric generator.
“This incredible feat proves that EVs can be just as capable as ICE vehicles, as long as you have the proper planning and ingenuity.”
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve read today. Are people REALLY that stupid?
They put their EV on an ice floe with a few polar bears on it. Then they taught the polar bears to paddle the ice floe south.
“Are people REALLY that stupid?”
No, they are very purposefully attempting to provide disinformation while trying to blow smoke up one of your orifaces.
” I don’t trust batteries for a few reasons.”
Even though I only own ICE vehicles, they do have batteries that don’t tend to last the life of the vehicle.
Now I also have a ton of electronic devices tha also have batteries that tend to need to be replaced before the end of the life of the device.
Much of my life is now frequently spent setting up and monitoring the recharging of batteries.
ABC -—> Always be Charging.
Batteries need at least a couple of orders of magnitude in no shortage of attributes.
“Much of my life is now frequently spent setting up and monitoring the recharging of batteries.”
LOL...me too. Home automation system. Home security system. Remotes. Power tools. Snow blower. Leaf blower. Hand warmers. Electric socks. Toothbrush. Computer. Phone. Laptop. Christmas decorations. Bluetooth speakers. AC power outage monitor. Dog’s electric fence collar. Ear buds. Headlamp. Flashlights. Emergency lanterns. Wireless headset. I’m probably missing another half dozen or more
My God, the time I spend keeping all these batteries charged or changed!
Of course it took 28 months and required three battery changes....at $20,000 each.
“This incredible feat proves that EVs can be just as capable as ICE vehicles.”
False. The person who wrote this is an illogical idiot.
This is the Babylon Bee right?
Looks like they took a boat from Colon, Panama to Cartagena, Colombia. And then from Punta Arenas, Chile to somewhere in Antarctica:

Regardless the political spin given this trip, and the fact that they didn’t technically “drive” the entire distance, it is quite a feat.
How did they get through the Darien Gap?
