Charging Your Electric Car Is....Shocking!

[PoliticalChic]

An Uber driver just called a talk show, and said he can no longer rent an internal combustion enginine car if he wishes to drive for Uber.

He said it takes 9 hours to fully charge the car.....and charging stations cost 37 cents a minute.

That's $22.20 an hour.....and 9 hours is about $200




The NEMA 14-50 charger for Tesla electric cars plugs into a 240 volt wall outlet, similar to the type used by your clothes dryer or other appliances. A standard Tesla charger with a NEMA 14-50 connector will be able to charge your Tesla battery completely in 10 hours (for the Model S) to 10 ½ hours (for the Model X).Nov 5, 2021

So what's stopping him from buying his own car?

Clean off your specs, dimwit.

He stated why.

What?! You mean the leftist Utopia we were promised is based on lies and is impossible to work in the real world?

Sweet Jeebus, you're a stupid fascist.

You can use your own car to drive for Uber, provided it's relatively recent and in good shape, or you can rent one from Uber.

Most people use their own car. There is no requirement to rent a car from Uber to drive for Uber.

Yeah, if you get upset about that, you can completely ignore the ridiculous cost to fully charge an EV.

The driver quoted claimed 37 cents a minute at a charging station.....but I can't verify that.

Look at this:

"If electricity costs ¢10.7 per kWh and the vehicle consumes 27 kWh to travel 100 miles, the cost per mile is about $0.03. If electricity costs ¢10.7 per kilowatt-hour, charging an EV with a 200-mile range (assuming a fully depleted 54 kWh battery) will cost about $6 to reach a full charge."

Seems a tremendous difference between this and what the Uber driver stated

Only a Leftist....you.....can be described as a Fascist.

There is no Fascist Republican Party.

Fascists were Leftists, like Nazis, Bolsheviks and you Democrats.


Democrat FDR loved Fascism so much, he took Mussolini's entire program and saddled America with it....he called it the New Deal.


Can you really be this ignorant?????


Fascism Is as Fascism Does

---

Any who have studied the history of the last century understand how very similar the economic policies of Mussolini and of Franklin Roosevelt were.

Economic policies?
....it goes well beyond economic policies. In many ways, elites desired this nation to mirror Fascist Italy....

The authoritarian designs of Italian government structures were also attractive to Roosevelt, as a way of symbolizing the strength of all-powerful state authority.

"The architecture of the three regimes in terms of ‘monumentality,’ the need of people to create symbols that reveal their inner life, their actions, and their social conceptions. The similarity of the architecture of National Socialism, of Fascism, and of that of the New Deal is a reminder of the fact that during the Great Depression, capitalism’s period of crisis, all three philosophies rejected modernism and turned, instead, to monumentality, a backward-looking, neoclassical architecture."
Wolfgang Schivelbusch, “Three New Deals”

And so you go running from your stupid thread topic.

I'd really like to see an accurate explanation of what the cost to fully charge the car, is.

Just last week an article stated that the range for these cars is only 50-60% of the stated range.


Who to believe....and I start out disbelieving anything the Progressisves/Democrats say.

 

[PoliticalChic]

And so you go running from your stupid thread topic.

I try to so hard to educate your sort, but too often the you are ineducable, ignorance indelible.

Don't forget....you are the Fascist.

 

[PoliticalChic]

And so you go running from your stupid thread topic.

If it is a stupid thread....you are in the right place.

 

[mamooth]

Here's a thought. Read your own posts.

"If electricity costs ¢10.7 per kWh and the vehicle consumes 27 kWh to travel 100 miles, the cost per mile is about $0.03. If electricity costs ¢10.7 per kilowatt-hour, charging an EV with a 200-mile range (assuming a fully depleted 54 kWh battery) will cost about $6 to reach a full charge."

$6 for a full charge.

And you're saying how awful that is. Yeah.

I was listening to that same show. Driving home from work, of course.

They talked about how Pete Booty-Judge is openly stating that the pain we feel at the pump - along with the economic turndown that high gas prices cause - actually make things better for people "able to access" electric vehicles. Pete also says that the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is going to be tough for people.

It sure is, since renewable energy isn't viable yet.

He gets that, but what he and the left do not get is that their plan can never work for this reason" In order for us to spend twenty years or so transitioning from the reliable and affordable fossil fuels to the more expensive renewables that tend to fail at the moment they are needed most, the Dems would have to be in power that whole time. But when they treat us the way they are treating us now, we get a chance ever two years to tell them whether we will go along with it. In just a few months, that answer will be no. In 2024, it will be Hell No.

How Much Does it Cost to Charge an Electric Car?​

"To put this into perspective, let’s give an example. Let’s say you drive about 1,183 miles per month (Americans drive an average of about 14,200 miles annually). For an EV, you will use about 394 kWh in that timeframe. Using the U.S. household average from January 2022 of nearly 14 cents per kWh, it would cost about $55 per month to charge an electric car.

“Some workplaces offer charging for employees’ cars … But electric-car owners quickly learn which public stations near them are free, which charge for charging, and how much they cost,” he said.

For example, a bustling parking lot in a crowded city center might lure EV owners with the promise of free recharging. But the resultant fee for parking there could easily zoom past what you’d have paid to fill up even the thirstiest gas-powered car or truck.

The original driver quoted said he drove about 10 hours a day......in Mass. I wonder how many miles that means.

I live in NYC.....and although I have the option, most folks do not have on the property parking.

I wonder how and where they charge their car at home?????

 

[SeaMajor7]

Electrical super conductivity at ambient temperatures would be revolutionary.
Too bad that would make energy cheap; can't have that.

And, of course, the dopes who vote Democrat don't understand where the elecricity for th EV is coming from: fossil fuel plants.

Exactly. I've never seen an EV charging station with a bank of solar panels, or a windmill next to it. They could easily put up a carport and cover it with panels, if that was cheaper than that reliable diesel-generated power from the light company.

You're absolutely right, Political Chic. I was married to a Professional Engineer, and his degree was electrical engineering. He and his fellows had monthly meetings, and wives got to go. One spoke on electrical use of fossil fuels. It's not two for the price of one. It's two for the cost of four. Electric cars take electricity which depends on fossil fuel. Electricity is wonderful, of course, but there's a little catch twenty-two there. It takes more fossil fuel to heat a home with electricity, which doubles the cost of the person heating their all-electric home. The use of fossil fuel to create electricity is a very inefficient manner of using up fossil fuels, because to get electricity to a home loses electrons passing through wires. Millions of birds die when they land on wires if they have one foot on the support beam and another on the wire. However, it doesn't kill as many birds as are killed when someone puts solar panels on their home. It is not only on top of the house, it can be high in the sky refracted light that confuses birds on migration, and it can also cause them to die according to what I know as ornithology is a topic I'm into, and they are valuable to the environment as they fertilize the lucky trees they land in, fields they feed in and nest in, they beautify everything and send cheerful songs our way. Even if one is just a financial wizard, free fertilizer is as good as it gets for farmers and gardeners, where birds love for the beauty of plants to their lives. Wind farms kill birds, too, and they're an eyesore mostly, including the ones that stand out in the ocean until the monsoon removes them and puts them in places you don't need dangerous blades on the ocean floor ninety ways to forever. Solar panels, wind farms, and all those "wonderful" green earth ideas destroy more of the environment over time so it's dubious they "save" the planet when they rid us of free fertilizer and invades a niche environment for living animals. The politicians play numbers and use those numbers to get rich quick while they are helping themselves to taxpayer money, I mean saving the planet.

Thanks for another great thread.
