The article leads with a statement that the gas price increase is the result of the War in Ukraine?
Who believes that hogwash?
Associated Press = the lying media at work.
As EV purchases increase, the price of electricity triples as the load on the grid can’t handle it, causing implementation of widespread rationing of electricity.
When it comes to extrapolating meaning from things, we could
give the Democrats a math question, and it would take them a
week to come with with the answer that 1+1=11.
All good, until they have very spotty electricity reliability, and their summers are filled with air conditioning losses and hot sticky summers.
The average household income and poverty level in Asbury Park don’t suggest a market for this.
Who paid with whose money to put them there?
That isn't going to do diddly squat. A high end fast charging station with 8 stalls likely comes close a million bucks.
If you are lucky enough to own your own home: It costs between $1,500 and $4,500 to mount a new station, install a new service panel, do wiring, and equip it with a 240-volt outlet.
the charging station it’s self costs from 300 to $4,500.
A gas can (portable charger) is $500 on UP!!!
…….until China stops delivering batteries.
If the U.S. were ever to go full-electric, for cars and trucks and whatever else...
You can bet that our enemies would take advantage of that, and that they would use fossil=fuels to their advantage, including powering all of their military vehicles with diesel and gasoline. We would be stuck with ineffective military and civilian vehicles, making us vulnerable economically and militarily.
Besides, if the whole U.s. were to be dependent on electrically charging our vehicles, you can bet that someone would find a way to knock out our electric grids, and then, we would be crippled for just about everything.
The best way to stay economically viable, for the economy and for everyday civilian use, is to have millions of independent engines powered by fossil-fuels. Our safety and independence and security, are all at stake.
But, democrats are not the thinking types and what matters to them is control, which they hope to achieve through their climate change agenda. But, even they would soon rue the day that they vilified fossil fuels.
And the next headline will be:
As consumer electric prices rise out of control.......
EVs require 13 minerals from 13 supply chains running through 60 countries. Half of them go through Russia.
Uh Huh and where is the electricity coming from to produce all this power, have we finally discovered Dilithium Crystals somewhere?
Who is paying the fees to charge those cars???
ALL the local tax payers????
NEVER saw any town build a gasoline service station.
50-60K for exploding golfcarts. Yeah buddy!
Foolish. But, 30 years from now those might come in handy.
I like electric cars for the evolving technology. My current car has a range of about 290 miles if all freeway at 65 mph. Around home (Reno) I have a range of up to 345 miles. I charge at night for .05 per kwh. My battery holds 77.4 kwh so 77.4 x .05=$3.87 to go from 290-345 miles. At fast chargers I can go from 20 to 80% charge in 18 minutes but it will cost .31/kWh (plus $4 per month) or about $24 to go between 290-345 miles. The electric car is great for local driving. Maybe okay for occasional long trips. The problem is that leftists think that electricity can be generated from windmills, solar and unicorn flatulation. Eventually, when everyone starts using electric cars the cost of electricity will sky rocket. I see why people on FR are against electric car subsidies. I don’t understand why all the hostility against electric cars. Not all of us are climate change wackos. A few years ago I saw a Prius with a bumper sticker that said “Saving my money for ammo”.
Do they pay for the gas pumps?
