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.

“Those wreckers need serious HORSE POWER-”

They need serious low speed torque which is exactly what electric motors provide!

When you stop at the hotel you can use the wifi and plug into their EV charger.

That makes a serious ‘table changeover’ rate difference for the restaurant.

My 4 horse trailer with 3 horses on board weighs in at about 8000++ #.

Not going to even TRY electric.

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

"So? Are you here to do the hard sell to get a stock boost?"

Then what are your investments(?), to which I commonly answer with, that's none of your business.

-------F-150 has 10k capacity---------------

Pulling a trailer with an electric truck is a revelation. The reasons are obvious: All 775 lb-ft of torque from the standard dual motors comes at zero rpm. That means there’s no need to wait for revs to build to get anywhere at a reasonable pace. Sluggish starts and panicked intersection crossings are a thing of the past. You can just hit the go pedal and accelerate away, as if you’re not pulling anything at all.

Here’s an interesting read on railroads and the history of rail.
https://erenow.net/common/illustrated-history-of-railway/48.php

Even though it’s now a bit player instead of the transportation King it once was there’s something about railroads that spur the imagination.

Less amateur drivers-—less traffic in general-— IF roads are in good shape-—I do fine.

Ford F-150 Lightning loses about half its range when towing a 23-foot Airstream trailer

All EVs are great until you compare them to ICE vehicles then they really are stupid ( and expensive ).

FOR a much shorter time frame.

Some of those recoveries take 7-11 hours.

Great show....
