Nolte: Only 28% Say Electric Vehicles Are ‘Practical’
Breitbart ^ | 08/31/2022 | John Notle

Posted on 08/31/2022 8:25:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A Rasmussen survey of 1,000 adults shows only 28 percent believe electric vehicles are “practical for most drivers.” Meanwhile, a clear majority of 54 percent say they are not. Eighteen percent are unsure.

When asked to look a decade into the future, which will be just a few years before California outlaws gas-powered vehicles, a whopping 69 percent say it is “very” (37 percent) or “somewhat” (32 percent) likely that most cars will run primarily on gasoline. Only 23 percent disagree.

28% say they’re impractical, when in reality it’s 100 % NO GOOD!

And they also don’t have the electrical capacity on the grid to support the numbers of EV’s they are pushing for.
The EV believers have this magical thinking over it, “you just plug it in!” and that’s where they stop analyzing it.
They don’t consider where or how the power to charge their vanity toy is generated or transmitted.

Does it matter. Corporate America has decided it, EVs Über Alles!

Rail. But we would still need something to move the cargo from the rail yard to the warehouse.

They are not intended to be “practical.”

They are intended to limit mobility range and be remotely controllable.

Has anyone noticed that the infrastructure to support EVs doesn’t exist and isn’t being built?

Exactly.

We need to hit libs on their false PREMISES more, than on their TACTICS.

Is there climate change (they still say global warming)? Maybe not, but maybe so.

So there IS - but is it important? An emergency? THAT is the crux of the problem.

Talking about EVs and solar panels and wind turbines is too late in the “conversation”.

Electric vehicles are practical only as a commuter car and if you can plug it in at your house and keep it in your garage. Otherwise no. And only as a commuter car.

Exactly, that’s another hidden gem that idiots need to understand - how much it’s going to cost for them to “upgrade” their own house. This goes for us rational people, too. I’m not interested in any of that CC/GW garbage so didn’t realize just how terrible it is to buy into an EV.

(Kind of like Alexa - the dumb little box isn’t just going to flip your lights for you - you need to do the wiring yourself first.)
