That There Is No Electricity here!

So if you're a Californian who bought an electric car to save the environment, now you can't drive it because of the risk to the environment. If you really cared about the planet, you wouldn't go anywhere or do anything or participate in 21st-century life at all.
Whatever happened to those algae-powered cars we were supposed to have by now? Remember Obama talking about those? Imagine driving around smelling like a dirty fish tank. Smirking at all those planet-killing dummies in their outdated electric cars. That's the thing about being woke. There's always somebody woker.

Just read where a lot of them are surprised that their solar panels are worthless too, without a battery backup
Never knew that. Thanks
Green new deal meet Unintended consequences.
The only sensible role for them is in smog-choked cities. They DO move the pollution out to far-away coal plants. Hardly anybody knows that that was the original raison d’être for EVs 40 years ago.
But internal combustion engine pollution controls have gotten so good that the original justification for EVs just doesn’t make as much sense as it once did.
That There Is No Electricity here!
“...limited role in transportation...”
From my front door to my mailbox.
I bet California would like their clunckers back to leave the state towing their EV’s behind them.
Butttt ... the narrative we’re now hearing is the blackouts are caused because Globull Warming has made fire areas dryer, warmer and More volatile
It’s your car causing this !
California requires you to be hooked up to the grid. They want all that extra power the solar cells are making. So when the grid goes down so do you. The only work around is battery backup and that makes the whole solar thing super expensive when just the solar system itself is expensive.
Grid tied solar needs the AC signal from the power company to synchronize its output. Otherwise if it's out of phase or off frequency it would be fighting the power company's output rather than adding to it.
Something they don't tell you at the kiosk in Costco, or anywhere else.
They should have thought of that. How will they charge their cars? with a generator powered by gasoline/oil! Very inefficient and noisy, plus the fumes!
How will emergency vehicles run? construction vehicles? planes?
but when you plug the car in it’s suppose to fill up like Magic ,LOL
Without nuclear power and coal, electric vehicles stop running.
SO. The most overused and unneeded word in the universe.
So is the new 'like.'
Those battery-less grid tied systems are a joke.
Need a battery bank and transfer switch with no tie to the grid. Then you’re making electricity for YOU.
And no, you can’t run central HVAC, electric dryer, electric range, space heater.
would a hand-cranked electric motor/rotor provide enough power to recharge a Tesla battery.??
Could you fix it so a passenger could wind it up while the car was driving.? or maybe a small windmill, retractable so you could drive through tunnels.
[snark, snark]
If anyone was smart they could at least use the cars battery to power an inverter for emergency home power.
I have a cheap electric forklift i bought for $50 at auction that i salvaged most of its battery for an emergency battery bank.
Wait a minute. Gasoline pumps don’t work without electricity either. How come EVERYONE isn’t in a panic?
Could it have something to do with electric cars’ laughable real ranges?
