More states around America are moving toward mandating the use of electric vehicles in an effort to “end fossil fuels.” But all of those vehicles have to be recharged on a regular basis. People with the ability to do so have primarily been charging their vehicles at home with slower Level 1 or Level 2 home chargers using a household outlet. But people living in some apartments don’t have that option and people who regularly take longer trips have to rely on the availability of commercial Level 3 fast chargers. The Boston Globe recently conducted an investigation to find out just how many such charging stations are available and how well they work. The results were nowhere near as great as the government would have you believe.

Let me suggest a solution for charging EVs, and to ‘satisfy’ the illusion by the climate-change proponents that they’re somehow saving the planet (in reality, it’s not about saving the planet)...
Generators.
Most everyone can afford generators, which can power a house in times of need. So, every household should have a generator always ready to charge an EV battery.
No, fossil-fuels there. ;)
And it would be the same kind of charging/recharging that occurs now for EVs. ;)
Problem solved. ;)
If you charge to 100%. I thought they mitigated much of it if they only fast charged to 80%.
Oh, and generators can be easily carried by the EVs, in their trunks, if they have the room for a trunk. ;)
“Generators.

Ok......so what powers the generator?
You can make an EV charging station charge 50 times faster by spraying the copper guts with a mixture of white vinegar, ammonia, and salt
They’re not performing because I park my truck in them every damn time I can. Eff anyone who don’t like it too.
It ain’t illegal and stupid ev owners can shove their privilege up their candy asses
“In areas with only one or two charging stations, the lines can become quite long if some or most of the chargers are out of service when you arrive.”
OBVIOUS SOLUTION, except for those unable to think: Only go to charging stations when traffic is low and all of their chargers are working.
See, not so hard, if you have a brain, that is.
How convenient. NOT!
“We drive from the oc to vegas and back a few times a year and its so funny all those evs waiting to charge up I mean its nuts baker is the funniest.”
I drive a GASOLINE CAR and I always have a BIG SMILE on my face as I drive by charging stations with cars waiting for many minutes, usually hours, knowing that I can ‘fill up’ my car, at one of the many gas stations in UNDER 5 MINUTES.
Nothing makes me happier than the people who, over 100 years ago, decided to ditch EVs and move to gasoline - THEY SAW THE FUTURE!!!
It just amazes me how many Americans are STUCK IN THE PAST, still driving battery-powered cars, when the technology has passed right by them.
Electricity rates are going up. Heard the northeast recently experienced a 20 to 25% increase. FL is holding close to the line for now.
Those higher rates will not reduce and only increase.
Good luck to all the tree huggers.
Better hope the government the pray to doesnt cut their pension too.
“To ask the question as to why they aren’t, answers the question itself. Windmills and solar panels do not create sufficient electricity upon demand to make such a thing viable.”
A while ago, I did the math on one of Tesla’s ‘Supercharging’ Stations in the middle of California that had a roof covered with solar panels. I counted up the solar panels, factored in the local climate, seasonal sunlight, and determined that the panels, on a good day, could charge 3 cars. The other 100 or so cars were stuck with the mostly-coal powered grid*.
*but in their defense, fossil fuel power comes mainly from Arizona (4 Corners Coal Plant) and Mexico, so it’s ‘non-polluting’.
We must all do our part to protect the planet.
I just unplugged a row of electric cars that no one was using.
Well put!
“Europe Backtracks on Its Gas-Car Ban”
Yep - they WILL allow fossil fuel cars, PROVIDED that the fuel is ‘carbon-neutral’, meaning $25 per gallon (per my estimate).
What’s INGENIOUS about this move is that the RICH Europeans (the ones with government connections) will be able to drive as freely as today, but the ‘masses’ will, unfortunately, be out of luck.
Charging stations + vandals = copper wiring vanishing in the middle of night.
EVs are the blood diamonds of the green new deal
Which are more efficient do you think? The cleanest technology turbo diesel cars like Europe’s Ford Focus (not avail here due to emissions in CA) or something like Honda Fit. Toyota Yaris or that little Nissan?
