1. They drive...Issues with Electric Vehicles (EVs):<br />1. They drive 40% less then what the dealer says in distance before needing charge<br />2. Using A/C, Heat, or other car features uses power and cuts down drive distance<br />3. To power them a person's house needs to have an Electrician modify the house's power so the EVs can be charged when not used (usually overnight), cost is around $2K<br />4. If a person lives in an Apartment or Condo then charging the EV off the person's power is not possible. This causes the person to rely on charging stations, increased cost, and more time spent of finding the stations and charging.<br />5. The charging stations are not standard for all EVs. So the Federal Government should come up with standards for power plugs, charging amounts, and how the costs are made (Credit Cards, etc)<br />6. Many charging stations do not work at a location.<br />7. Charging at charging location take time and if people are there using there is increased delay not found with Gas/Diesel vehicles when they fill up. <br />8. Charging stations have to be found through smart devices and planning when driving<br />9. The EVs have issues with the batteries over time. When the batteries fail then the EV dies and there is no way to have it working until a replacement battery is installed. These are not standard and based on the vehicle. If the vehicle is still made then at a minimum at will take 2 weeks. Costs are high and the batteries are from overseas and made of non standard materials that cannot be put into normal landfills due to toxic materials. <br />10. Lack of power, brownouts or blackouts affect charging EVs, non-EVs do not have this problem. <br />11. The USA is using about 1% of EVs and the push is 50% by 2030 but the Electrical Grid cannot support that. California is even worse as they get much power from other states. <br />12. The Electrical Grid power is mostly from Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear, and then minor is Wind and Solar. <br />13. The cost of an EV is much more then a gas vehicle+gasoline or diesel vehicle+diesel fuel overtime. <br />14. From Hurricane Ian in Florida it was found that flooding of water (and sea water) causes EV batteries to catch fire, and when the FD puts it out they will still catch fire later. This causes fires to surrounding area or building. The fire is toxic.JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12316361340401600089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-65578929631400659422022-11-01T07:11:39.777-04:002022-11-01T07:11:39.777-04:00Amazing. All of this EV bullshit is supposedly to ...Amazing. All of this EV bullshit is supposedly to reduce green house gases because the "climate science" says so. Every dire prediction "climate scientists" have made the past century+, including a coming global ice age, have never come to pass.<br /><br />I was talking to a mid 30s dude the other day and informed him that CO2 levels have been dramatically higher on the planet in eons past. He tells me the problem now is nitrogen and farming needs to be curtailed especially raising cattle. Good grief, it never ends with these nuts. <br /><br />I will never have an EV and I'm old enough to say that positively.MMinWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228526669625939675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-39378774721777637912022-10-31T19:42:11.102-04:002022-10-31T19:42:11.102-04:00ROLL ON THE FLOOR FUNNY - - Horror Movie Trailer -...ROLL ON THE FLOOR FUNNY - - Horror Movie Trailer - SNL<br /><br /><br /><br />https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2022/10/horror-movie-trailer-snl.htmlcommoncentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497825816313122743noreply@blogger.com
