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.

If it was the functional equivalent of an ICE vehicle there would be a market. That he says there isn’t a market tells me there is a pretty huge tradeoff/cost, just like every other electric vehicle.

“ The manufacturers recommend you NOT keep them in your garage and don’t park them near other vehicles”

Nope. That was true for a certain car for a limited time. Not a blanket policy.

“why just have one puddle-jumper for “commute” and another for “travel”?

That’s easy. Short drives are the hardest on gasoline cars and they experience the worst gas mileage for those short runs.

Having both a gas and electric car allows me to choose which tool to use.

“ That is why a golf cart is a better option for the EV and a whole lot less expensive and much easier to charge.”

They aren’t street legal where I live, and there’s way too many hills. And 4 seasons. Not workable.

ROTFLMAO! Tesla sells every car they can produce!

You obviously did not quote my post for if you did it would show your distortion.

“Furthermore, why is it any of your business why people choose to drive 1000 miles a day? Is it because you’re simply an argumentative aris or are you feeling a bit cranky while waiting for your next booster?”

Furthermore, why is it any of your business why I respond to people choose to post to me about to driving 1000 miles a day? Is it because you’re simply an argumentative aris or are you feeling a bit cranky while waiting for your next booster?

Apparently, the 28% have yet to get their thinking caps on straight. It’s beyond me why the auto manufacturers are buying into this crap. I always gave them credit for having at least a few smart people, but now I have to wonder.

You can lead a horse to water…

LOL, you didn't answer the question. Are you here to pimp your portfolio?

I'm not interested in being led anywhere. I retired @54 nearly a decade ago and I'm just fine.

I have never and will never own Tesla stock, long, short or otherwise, I don't need it. Maybe Elon will leave me some in his will.

Then what is your investments. No one hard sells like this without being fully vested.

From your link which you obviously did not read.

“Once I ran out of charge in the parking lot at the Haleakala Visitor Center, I was able to recharge the battery using regenerative braking by descending down the volcano. I got back to 42 percent charge on the way down!”

I think the phrase you are looking for is...Then what are your investments(?), to which I commonly answer with, that's none of your business. How can I hard sell that? The 'none of your business' part.

BUT WHEN that Semi ends up in the ditch & requires a HEAVY RESCUE TOW vehicle——then what???

Those wreckers need serious HORSE POWER-—Watch “Highway From Hell” & see how much POWER it takes to recover those vehicles.
