YOU WILL buy them and YOU WILL be glad you did.
Never forget, Drumpf was a dictator.
It’s not just that the consumer isn’t there, the logistics aren’t there. Not enough range for much of the country, takes too long to re-charge vs. 5 minutes to fill a gas tank, not enough places to re-charge because you can’t get in and out like a gas station so you end up with long lines. More EV propaganda.
I hear they are a big thing in those retirement golf course communities.
if anyone remembers the first led flashlights and then led light bulbs, they were not great either, but now that they are if I have a choice between led and incandescent, mostly I will use led.
exceptions for Lava lamps and ez-bake ovens
and sometimes the florescent tube ones are good also, like for motion sensitive outside lights so they start dim in the morning when you go outside.
I guess what I am saying is when electric cars get better and cheaper many people will choose them, but there will be use cases for gas and diesel powered vehicles
Why the hell would u limit your travel that way?
8 hrs to fully charge, 100 mile add @ 35min with a rapid charger. IF you can find a charger.
Gas fill up available virtually every where, 10 minutes, including taking a leak.
Electric vehicles are a joke.
Much of the move to electric vehicles will be forced by governments.
YOU WILL buy them and YOU WILL be glad you did.
Never forget, Drumpf was a dictator.
So why are companies producing them?
Well, I read an article a while ago that said companies are paying huge payments to Tesla because of some “Green Credits” scheme of governments.
I guess it’s cheaper to build EV cars that won’t sell!
I have an EV as well as an ICE truck and ICE sports car. The EV is great for daily use. I use the truck for hauling stuff (like the concrete and lumber I bought a couple days ago), and the sports car for long trips to other states. The EV costs almost nothing to operate ($30 for the last dealer checkup), versus hundreds of dollars for the ICE vehicle checkups.
I think car makers are going to be making ICE vehicles for many decades to come, and governments are foolish for pushing to eliminate ICE vehicles, which are necessary and will probably outnumber EV's three to one in the future.
Out west there is wide open country where you can drive hundreds of miles. How are these electric cars going to handle that?
There is NO future with electric cars without an almost inexhaustible supply of electrical power, and the only way we can get there is with Nuclear Power.
Something I don’t think the Environmentalist side of the Rat Party would be too thrilled with supporting.
But I thought DRIVERLESS CARS were the way the winds were blowing. That’s what I kept hearing a year ago, before the pandemic threw everybody off their gameplans.
I don’t want one of those either.
charging stations are just not there to support widespread average people having even one of their cars, be an electric car.
its increasing, but not at a pace to keep up even if the number of electric vehicles doubles in a year. then there is also a finite amount of lithium and cobalt that exists annually, for all producers of lithium battery devices tap into.
And as long as there are slaves to dig up the metals for the batteries, until the metals run out. Then substitutes will be found.
The only reason why someone would own a Tesla is to impress their liberal friends.
How to sell?
How to charge...and create sufficient generation and distribution is the real issue.
No nukes is bad news.
Imagine what could have been IF General Public Utilties and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had been honest about Three Mile Island.
No thanks!
Cray-cray never ends with these idiots. Electric vehicles require power generated from fossil fuel and the spent battery side of this product is not even in the vicinty of AOC Green Street dreams.
A typical popular gas station these days has 10-12 service bays, and plenty of traffic. Oftentimes I have to wait at the QT in order get a pump. We would have to at least double the number of recharges stations (even after accounting for home recharges, that take hours). Where? How?
We started looking for a new car last fall, but when the election results came in suddenly switched to a hybrid.
With Biden at the helm, 32 mpg sounded like it was worth more than with Trump as President. Full electric is not in the cards for DW -- she does not like charging batteries even on her phone.
But when gas prices go up, or even when there is rationing, a high mpg vehicle is a good deal.
I get the next new car in a few years, and electric may be OK for me.
