Electric Cars

[ill]

More people who don’t use gas means demand for gas is lower, which equals cheaper gas prices for those who can’t get an EV.

Right now with nuclear and renewables a little over 40% of our energy production comes from non fossil fuel sources.

He's going to keep making excuses until he runs out of them.

don't they recommend 80% charge in most cases unless you're sure you're going to drive it immediately?

I don't know, I don't own an electric car so I haven't gone through what is recommended

As I said above, even if 100% of the EV data was spontaneous combustion and 10% of the data from gas was spontaneous combustion, the gas vehicles would still be like 6x more likely to burn down your house at night. Even if it were just 2% of the gas numbers, they'd still be higher. That's how much more likely gas vehicles are to catch on fire.

As I said earlier, you're pulling numbers out of your ass.......................... again.

No, see, I quoted direct data. You're the one wanting data specific to burning down in houses; which is really unreasonable. As the data illustrates, it would be almost impossible for the data that exists to support that assertion. Gas cars catch on fire more than electric cars, this is a fact. And it's by a lot.

They recommend 70-80% charge to maintain the battery over the lifespan of the vehicle. If you need the 100% range for some reason, then you tell the car to go to 100%. The Bolt EUV we ordered has a 250 mile range. But we'll almost never need that.

Fuck electric cars

love them exhaust fumes!

Whut. The power required to charge the EV simply shifts elsewhere.

There's not enough wind and hydro to form a substantial part of the growing demand. Solar is growing, but too slowly. And nuclear plants are mostly being shut down, not opening new ones. So if you're replacing all the gas car engines with electric batteries, the grid has to be supplemented with something -- which is most likely more fossil fuel.

One benefit I think people are overlooking is the ability in dead of winter to turn on and heat your car in the garage without opening the garage door. And since the heat is electric, it doesn’t require the engine to warm up to transfer the heat.

I don't have a full EV, but the engine runs to warm it up in my plug-in. Otherwise, it takes forever using EV only.

JFC, you responded to a comment that specifically mentioned EV's spontaneously combusting in the garage and then went off on some tangent about IC vehicles catching fire as well as if parked and cold gasoline powered cars catch fire often.

When your EV overheats while charging and burns your house down do you want to guess who doesn't hear about it?

There's a reason why everyone considers you a rube and disingenuous dildo.

No, it isn't most likely fossil fuel.

Please stop talking out your ass. No one is building new coal plants and NG is a stop gap. New nuclear will be built. Small modular reactors will be the next thing to go out.

Imagine being so stupid that you don't think data illustrating cars catching fire has anything to do with the discussion about cars....catching fire. You're legitimately brain dead.

i would doubt 10% spontaneously combust in their garages over night

SMR's goina put you outa a job!!

Hahahahaha. You know his car is rusty. I’ve never been so sure of something.

Looks pretty shiny to me, but as long as the Southflake fraud is on your team

I accept your surrender.

Do these cars have brake rotor and pads like a regular car, or do some have breaking by the electric motors.
One less maintenance item i'm thinking

Then where is the power coming from?

both, regenerative braking is great but isnt going to be as reliable to stop on a dime like traditional brakes

Regular brakes. I was intrigued by the hybrid tech, charging the batteries via regenerative braking, but they were too expensive and the batteries cost a shit ton to replace and selling a used one is tough because folks know that a very expensive battery swap is imminent.

That is why right to repair is important. 10k replacement cost for a battery pack replacement vs the 40-60k at the shop, and thats for the ones that "can" be replaced not the structural batteries that are encased in a cement like foam and become part of the body of the vehicle

Yeah dude, it is. No more coal plants, but no more nuclear either. That leaves oil and gas-fired plants to service a more taxing grid than before. The equation is the same until solar or some other renewable manages to be build at a level where ALL fossil fuel types can be eliminated. Patting oneself on the back for closing a coal plant so that you can open two NG plants isn't "fighting climate change" no matter how you think you're going to get people to buy those $50k EVs.
