Electric Vehicle sales are sucking!!!

Who cares, can someone go cross country yet?

Easily done.

Provided one has not just the money to buy one of those spendy toys but also enough left over for one Hell of an extension cord. No, not one long enough to run coast to coast - just from one FREE FUEL depot to the next. Should never be more than about 600 miles.

Map of Tesla Supercharger network:

Once again you prove to be ignorant. And by the way, Tesla vehicles have already been driven across country. Multiple times. Here is another example:

Tesla makes record-setting cross-country trip - Chicago Tribune

These folks made the trip in 76.5 hours. Not only that, they drove during the winter. "The Tesla route took them through a sandstorm in Utah, subzero temperatures in South Dakota, blizzards in Colorado, Wisconsin and Illinois, and general winter conditions in what has been considered one of the rougher winters in recent history."

The driving distance between Los Angeles and New York is 2,778 mi - about 1 day 17 hours.

And what was the time it took and distance traveled to complete the first cross country trip?
The Tesla team of 15 people in two Model S, a balky sleeper van, and another swag wagon traversed 3,464.5 miles in 76.5 hours via a wormlike pattern of superchargers that connect the spaces between major cities.

An extra 700 miles and 35.5 hours. So why is that, because the charger stations are not in place to directly drive cross country. In fact the trip you note is one made by the manufacturer. Now, tell us how convenient it is for someone to drive cross country?

It took ~8 hours total time to charge the car during the trip from at least 13 stops at 265 miles per charge as advertized.

LAUGH......MY......BALLS........OFF


These people in here.......the social oddball types that make it with mega-sized bulldogs and spike the football.Here, guy is spiking the football bragging about an EV that takes weeks to go across country!! My 310hp '03 Mustang can do it in two days and it doesn't sound like ass.The social oddball types......they don't even know people are laughing at them.

California is burning.

Not just forest fires; natural heat as the sun mercilessly scolds Californians for stealing her rays.

So what's the impact?

Brownouts
Blackouts
Part-time electricity

All because of air conditioning?

Well, partially. also because of selfish Electric Vehicle Drivers greedily trying to charge their expensive toys at the same time.

Get used to - you want it, you got it!

This just in........EV sales still sucking.

Electric Cars, more zero thinking by the pea brains.

Imagine the 2 car family. That will require two separate transformers.

How much copper is needed to build tens of millions of charging stations.

Copper is an element, non-renewable.

How many billions of tons of copper does this new consumer need?

How much money do banks lend corporations to produce all this copper.

Thoughts such as these the Utopia Green Dreamers never fathom.

 

[Old Rocks]

Those electrics are great things.

They'll certainly drive the to keep a lot of coal fired power plants in operation - either that or people will get used to having electricity some of the time.

My Tesla in Coronado derives ALL of it's electricity from the sun. No nasty coal needed. Just think, if you would have been smart enough to take advantage of solar when China was doing their subsidizing, your electric bill would be zero.

Hydrocarbons, Solar can not live without Hydrocarbons for the manufacture of all components related to Solar Power.
Hydrocarbons pump the water that one needs to clean the Solar Panels.
Hydrocarbons are used to replace the Solar Panels every 5 years.

Teslas require 230 volt 3 phase power, but 400 volt 3 phase is the recommendation. I would like a picture of that Solar Panel. How about the specs, name, and all that. Not as a challenge to the truthfulness of your post, but because it would be technically relevant and interesting.

Tell me, have you any idea what an inverter is? Transformer?

You sure present yourself as one dumb bastard.

Georgia has accelerated to the top state for electric vehicles sales, powered by a hefty state tax incentive.

One of out about every 60 new cars registered in the Peach State, in the first six months, was an all-electric vehicle, according to InsideEVs.

Electric vehicles accounted for 1.60 percent of all vehicles registered in the state, according to data from market research firm IHS Automotive. The national average for EV registrations in June was 0.32 percent.

Georgia top state in electric vehicle sales - Atlanta Business Chronicle

Looking at the bigger picture — year-to-date sales — is perhaps much more useful and interesting. It is also more varied. At the end of September 2013, compared to the end of September 2012:

• Ford’s electric and hybrid sales are up 328.01% (67,232 vs 15,708 sales).
• Nissan’s electric (Nissan Leaf) sales are up 208.44% (16,076 vs 5,212 sales).
• Toyota’s electric and hybrid sales are up 9.55% (271,538 vs 247,878 sales) despite all the new competition.
• Tesla’s sales are of course up to a huge degree — 8056.25% (13,050 vs 160 sales).
• GM’s electric and hybrid sales are down 9.3% (38,498 vs 42,446 sales).
• Honda’s electric and hybrid sales are down 5.5% (13,929 vs 14,739 sales).
• Porsche’s hybrid sales are down 57.24% (552 vs 1,291 sales).

On the whole,

• 100% electric car sales are up to a huge degree — 447.95% (33,617 vs 6,135)

Actually, I have to go a block up the street to see the glaciers on Mt. Hood. And, yes, they are receding.

The changing glaciers of Mt. Hood Oregon and Mt. Rainier Washington implications for periglacial debris flows

Abstract:
Mountain glaciers are receding worldwide with numerous consequences including changing hydrology and geomorphology. This study focuses on changes in glacier area on Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington where damaging debris flows have occurred in glaciated basins. Landsat imagery is used to map debris-free ice on a decadal time scale from 1987 to 2005. Debris-free glacier ice is clearly delineated using a ratio of Landsat spectral bands in the near-infrared part of the spectrum (bands 4 & 5). Landsat scenes were chosen during the months of September and October to minimize snow cover left over from the accumulation season and maximize exposure of debris-free glacial ice. SNOTEL data were also used to find the lowest snow year for each decade to minimize the potential of misclassifying remnant snow as glacial ice. Changes in debris-free ice are mapped to produce the most up-to-date rates of glacier retreat. Average glacial slopes, derived from airborne LiDAR data are used to compute slope corrected debris-free ice areas for all glaciers. A threshold value for the Landsat NDGI scenes was selected based on threshold testing on the Eliot and Reid glaciers on Mt. Hood. Contradicting earlier studies that say the glaciers on Mt. Hood are receding faster than the glaciers on Mt. Rainier, results show that from 1987 to 2005 Mt. Rainier and Mt. Hood lost similar amounts of debris-free ice extent at 14.0% and 13.9%, respectively. For both Mt. Hood and Mt. Rainier the change in slope corrected debris-free ice area was greater than that of the projected area change due to the steep slopes of both mountains. For Mt. Rainier an increase in recession rate was shown from 1992-2005 compared to 1987-1992 while on Mt. Hood the opposite is seen. On Mt. Rainier it was found that highly fragmented glaciers at lower elevations such as the Inter, Pyramid, and the Van Trump Glaciers lost the highest percent of their original 1987 ice extent and were also shown to be associated with new debris flows in 2006. On Mt. Hood none of the 2006 debris flows initiated within zones of recent glacial recession, however, all debris flows from 2006 originated from streams with a direct connection to glaciers. The Newton Clark Glacier, having lost the most coverage of debris-free ice from 1987 to 2005, is also associated with the highest number of debris-flows in its drainage since 1980. Precipitation data for both mountains show no trend but there was a statistically significant increase in summer air temperature at Mt. Hood over the period 1984-2009. This study suggests that glaciers may play a role in the location of initiation sites, of debris flows, but there is not enough evidence to argue that glacier recession is responsible for producing debris flows.
Description:

See, that is how it is done. You make a statement, then you back it up with a credible site. But if you wish to continue to provide unverifide flap-yap, go ahead. Just demonstrates the weakness of your case and mind.

Then you lied in the past when you posted you could see the glacier from your window.

Electric vehicles in Atlanta are charged with electricity that comes from coal, hence electric vehicles hurt the quality of the air.

Easily done.

Provided one has not just the money to buy one of those spendy toys but also enough left over for one Hell of an extension cord. No, not one long enough to run coast to coast - just from one FREE FUEL depot to the next. Should never be more than about 600 miles.

So they managed to drive even more miles in a Tesla, and that is proof it can't make it across the country how exactly? Lol. Once again you change the goal posts. You implied you couldn't drive Tesla across country, I showed you that actually it has already been done, and now you are saying "well, it's not fast enough" and adding all these other qualifiers. Just admit you were wrong like an adult.

Highly instructive.........and another nut sack kick to the religion.

EV's will sell enough units to keep a few people happy, the profit margin being what it is today with cars. Lots of people bought the Corvair back in the 60's even though it was a pos and dangerous as hell.......suckers. If there are enough suckers in every market, units of the product will sell. What are the chances of the Tesla becoming the next Altima? Zero %.

They'll certainly drive the to keep a lot of coal fired power plants in operation - either that or people will get used to having electricity some of the time.

Most of the electricity we receive in Coronado (San Diego) is hydro from Hoover Damn.

Panels are guaranteed 85% for 25 years.

Panels are Mitsubishi, each are 320 watts with an array of 4750 sq ft.

I'd buy one of these before I'd go electric.

JAPANESE COMPANY UNVEILS WATER POWERED CAR
Water Powered Car Unveiled Yes It 8217 s Real Collective-Evolution

A Japanese company called Genepax unveiled their water powered car in 2008 in Osaka, Japan(1). It doesn’t matter if it’s tap, bottled, or lake water, any type of water can make this car run. An energy generator splits the water molecules to produce hydrogen and this is used to power the car. They use a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to split the Hydrogen from the Oxygen through a chemical reaction. The cell needs only water and air, eliminating the need for a hydrogen reformer and high pressure hydrogen tank.
This isn’t a conspiracy! The reality of this device has been verified by patent offices all over the world. To search a Japanese patent, you have to go through the Industrial Property Digital Library (IPDL). This organization makes patents available to the intellectual property department of the Japan Patent Office. The IDPL provides over 60 million documents and their relevant information as published since the end of the 19th century. The fact that these are even published for patent pending says a lot.

I wonder why this company disappeared six years ago. . . .

Who told you, that you get electricity from Hoover Dam? San Diego Gas and Electric, did they shut down the South Bay Fossil Plant as well as Encina in Carlsbad? Your bill does say, SDG&E, yes?

SDG&E only claims 20% renewable (an argument for another day), so at best, 20% of your power comes from renewables.

960 watts of Solar leaves you far short, from charging a Tesla from, "Renewable", or "Green Energy". It takes 1400 watts of charge per hour to go 3 miles. A 100 miles will take you 30 hours to charge that Tesla, at that you need 25% more electricity than your Solar Panels provide.
