How do EVs have “engine failures?”
Through the power of gay.
I have tried to keep an open mind about electric vehicles, and I see the potential advantages if they ever got the battery charge times/vehicle range/battery fire issues solved.
I think of it in terms of the leap in reliability and performance when the leap was made from reciprocating engines in airplanes to jet engines.
Jet engines are far more reliable (even if they are harder to produce and they sure don’t LOOK like they would be more reliable) but when you consider how many moving parts there are in one reciprocating engine on the wing of a Super Constellation, and they have four of them...that’s is a LOT of moving parts.)
For electric vehicles...the potential advantages are the same. But until they get the range up, charge times down, and fire risk reduced, I don’t think we should be mandating them. Or even promoting them.
Duh, they have engine failures because every time the owner opens the hood he FAILS to find the engine.
Similar to trying to find the trunk in an older Corvette.
How do EVs have “engine failures?”
The Flintstones’ and Rubbles’ cars were not automobiles because they were foot-powered. EV’s are automobiles with batteries and motors (engines). Gasoline and Diesel-powered engines are also features of an automobile’s drive train. Something has to develop enough torque to make the transmission do what it’s designed to do, and if your talking about automobiles, it doesn’t include your feet.
Electric Engines like to burn up.
The same way a gas motor does.
Engine internal combustion
Motor electric power
An EV motor and drive train are still “engines.”
