I doubt that Amazon, FedEx, UPS, DHL and other shippers would be very happy with it either.
“The real reason for the push to EV is with a command, they can regulate how often you charge your car.
Even if its charged from home.”
I’m against the forced removal of options for Americans but there is no way the government can stop my solar panels from charging my EV I can at the flip of a breaker go offgrid. The Tesla doesn’t ask the mothership if it can accept a charge or not it looks for AC 240V current with a true to earth ground that’s it. Four wire and a dryer sized plug. The cable is dumb it has no relays or electronics in it.
If you are talking about the 2026 year model or later kill switch all vehicles will.be required to have those not just EVs it’s to end police chases forever send the kill command via the approved back channel and the car coasts to a stop. Every car with onstar, Ford Sync, Bluelink ect. Has the kill command already and lowjack like tracking. Most vehicles after 2020 have one of the above services even if it’s nor turned on by the user it’s still active in the cars ECU you can’t turn it off without disabling the car itself it’s integrated into the engine ECU run mode at the hardware level the fuel ppump won’t run without the ECU relay turning it on and that relay has to be signed off on by the ECU. Same for the fuel injectors and the distributor less ignition any three not getting it’s signal from the ECU bricks the car.
Policies of sabotage.
C’mon Jean...How can the greedy charge these exorbitant prices for NG, fuel, electrical power et al, if they did all that.
Besides, the corrupt evil in government want us as fearful, miserable and forced to pay the most expensive energy bills as possible.
Yeah, they have 2 Mr. Fusions there.
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny.
I think if the Gov wanted to restrict our ability to travel, it could find lots of ways to do it regardless of what kind vehicles people were using — EV or ICE or whatever. The communists had no trouble dictating how people could move about back when all vehicles were ICEs. Whether we have freedom of movement is ultimately a political question, not a technical one. That’s why I don’t put much stock in the idea that the left’s big push for EVs is about making it hard to travel and forcing us into 15 minute cities etc. They don’t need EVs to do that.
“To put that into money terms, the average cost per kWh in the US is close to 12 cents. That means a bitcoin transaction would generate approximately an energy bill of $173.”
Miners are rewarded for this with new coins. What happens after all coins have been mined?
