EV owners sure look stOOpid now!!

The power grid will adapt to the demand
The good part is most owners will charge at night while they are sleeping

The power grid hasn't adapted to California or Texas in decades. The demand for energy won't increase as much as where we are needing energy to come from. I don't think the powers that be have thought this through.

Gee
Ya think we need to pass an infrastructure bill?

In 20 years they’ll be laughing at us and our gasoline powered cars.

In 100 years they'll be laughing at the idiocy of AGW hysteria.

Yes but not the mess that the Dems are trying to pass, we can get a lot more for a lot less. More money doesn't mean anything better when it comes to government.

They will be condemning today’s conservatives for blocking environmental legislation and calling it a myth

They'll be crying over the trillions wasted by greens on windmills.

Why do you think they call it "Peak Hours"? Because the aging electrical grid is under the most strain during that time.

And you think we should be able to charge any time we want, regardless of the consequences? lol Talk about acting like a 5 year old.

I can refuel my gas tank any time I want. Likewise eat, drink, go to the bathroom. If all you have is an EV, and you use it frequently then you have it charging anytime electricity is available.

It's called life. It is not scripted.

Seriously....how funny is this?
No elaboration necessary....

UK Readying New Law Mandating Home EV Chargers Be Shut Down During Peak Hours | ZeroHedge


Hold my beer

Sounds like good sense to me until they get more generation. Of course, had they not played the brexit game, they might not need this law. Actions have consequences. That still leaves plenty of hours for charging.

They will be crying over floods, hurricanes, droughts, wildfires

And blaming Republicans

Peak hours are during the daytime
Most people want to recharge overnight

Of course they do. But in the real world they charge when, and where, they can.

I guess EV owners need to start building windmills in their front yards and farting on them. Man, I was this close to reserving a Tesla Cyber Truck . . . and then I bought a Chevy. Hi-ho Silverado!

Solar on the roof, make your own fuel. And that thing about a windmill in the yard is not silly. There are a number of such on the market, and if you live in a windy area, it would probably supply enough for the day to day commute.

Where will people who live in apartments charge their EV's?

 

[westwall]

Many employers are also offering charging stations
As much as you whine, the EV infrastructure is expanding

No, not really. New powerplants need to be built and the opposite is happening.

 

[ding]

Will charging stations be limited to off peak times too?

 

[westwall]

Actually, many EV owners are adding solar panels to charge their vehicles

Yeah two weeks to charge makes so much sense.

 

[ding]

No, not really. New powerplants need to be built and the opposite is happening.

And new power transmission lines.

By my account we would need to double both to go fully EV.

 

[westwall]

They won't be obsolete until an EV can take a full charge in 2 minutes or less

5 minutes, and have similar range to an ICE powered car.

You mean we have never had floods, hurricanes, droughts and wildfires before?

 

[ding]

I need more popcorn to watch this train wreck unfold.

Oh...watching progressives get pwn'd is hysterical
We've been making fun of the climate crusader nutters for over 10 years now in this forum! Just another thread example here!

"Land yacht"

In 2021, Americans still sprinting out to buy their land yachts....only now they are SUV's and trucks. Progressives have missed the memo.

Last year, Ford sold 2X as many trucks as all EV sales combined

According to data coming from an online reservation tracker created by fans, the Tesla Cybertruck has unofficially racked up 1,256,487 pre-orders so far. Should they materialize into firm orders, Tesla would pocket a whopping $79 billion in revenue.Aug 3, 2021

Ford confirmed that the F150 Lightning, its new electric pickup truck, has now accumulated 130,000 reservations.Sep 2, 2021

Once the owners actually compare the Lightning to the Cyber truck, they will throw rocks at the Lightning. Especially in the mid-West where they salt the roads in the winter, and in five years the bottom panels of the Lightning is rusted out, and the Cyber Truck has no rust. LOL
