Fueling electric vehicles costs roughly the equivalent of $17 a gallon: Study - Washington Examiner

A new study found that fueling electric vehicles costs roughly $17 per gallon. In its paper "Overcharged Expectations: Unmasking the True Costs of Electric Vehicles," the Texas Public Policy Foundation stipulated that the hidden costs of fueling EVs drastically outweigh its low upfront fueling...

I'm glad I don't own an EV.

democrats use "chick math".... they're not really very technical except they're sure that their stuttering shit clown has created 40 zillion new jobs and the age of consent should be 3....

Source is a right wing fringe think tank from Texas funded by the oil industry.

Just so y’all know.

You dumbfuck sheep will believe anything rightwing propaganda puts in front of you.

Lookit this ijit. Sounding like the fools that said "I'm glad I don't own a car" when cars came into existence over horses.

Not apples to apples

This dishonest propaganda “study” factors in all sorts of extraneous costs… ignoring the fact that fossil fuel powered vehicles have extraneous costs as well.

The actual cost to EV owners is less than $2/ gall

How much do EV owners save per year on not having to do oil changes? Most people don't do their own oil changes (I always have, and still do), and I believe it's like $50 at SuperLube. If you're typical and drive 15,000 miles per year that's a $250 savings per year just on that alone.

Last year my wife and I drove from Central Florida to Ft Wayne Indiana to attend a funeral. We drove our Honda Pilot.

Our son, who lives in Atlanta, also drove up in his Tesla.

We both left Ft Wayne at the same time in the morning to come back. We were to drive to Atlanta to his home to spend the night.

We took two different routes because he needed access to the chargers but the mileage was about the same.

We got to Atlanta almost three hours earlier than him. The time difference had to do with charging.

We also compared cost. It was within a couple of dollars as it was for him to charge on the road as it was for us to buy gas.

The damage done to the environment extracting lithium is mind boggling. Exponentially worse than drilling hydrocarbons. Not even close.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I have yet to see grid math that works.

Can anyone show me, USING MATH, how a grid with only wind and solar will provide energy for the 300 million road vehicles in the US?

Show how much the grid will produce and how much the cars will consume.

Prove it will work. You people have such a hard on for it. Prove it works.

The cost to the environment is total destruction of ecosystems, soils, rivers, vegetation, aquifers. This is what happens during lithium extraction. I've seen it.

Wait until you see how much juice digital currency mining uses. It is phenomenal. They are locating these mining operations in low-population areas with excess generating capacity. They have done this near me. Bitcoin mining facility in Pend Oreille Co. draws questions about power use, zoning

And what is the cost to the environment for gas driven cars???

Yeah, I did a thread on that a few month back. They are even cutting deals to get their power first at a reduced rate before the rest hits the grid.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Yep, the math does not work.

We will never power all motor vehicles, homes, commerical and industrial dwellings with wing and solar.

AINT FUCKING HAPPENING.

If you say it is, walk me through the math.
