EV Tires

[Independent thinker]

I mean, if you’re charging it off of a hamster wheel.

Most people charge their car in an hour or so, at night when electricity is nice and cheap.

If it were up to leftists, we would be making cars the Fred Flintstone way.

 

[Independent thinker]

Electricity is cheaper at night because there is less demand for it at night. When most businesses are closed.

Increase the demand at night for a million EVs and watch that price skyrocket.

Supply and demand.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, we need to tell our electric companies to charge us less at night.

You missed the point and then put up a strawman argument.

We are being told EVs are the answer, when obviously they aren’t.

EV's are a step. That's all.

As to the OP. Many EV's run on the same tires as ICE cars.

 

[Marener]

So, since energy pollutes, charging EV's with electricity doesn't pollute?

Depends on the source of electricity. It can be anywhere from zero pollution to some pollution.

Worst case scenario the electricity generation pollutes less than ICE.

EV's are major polluters. Making their batteries pollutes. Making many of the car parts pollutes. Manufacturing the electric to charge them pollutes. Transporting them around the world pollutes. Now, they go through tires four times faster than regular cars, and tires pollute, not to mention a set of tires for an EV cost about $1500, about every 7,000 miles. But, let's have the government mandate that everyone must own one so we can save the environment.

New tires every 7,000 miles? Electric cars save gas but tire wear shocks Florida drivers

“If somebody looked at me and said ... you are going to love this car but in about 7,000 miles you will have to pay 1,400 or 1,500 dollars to replace the tires, I wouldn’t have bought the car.”

Tires are made from crude oil.
What will they make the tires out of if the idiot dems ban crude oil? And the asphalt roads are made from crude oil. Wiil we be driving on dirt roads again? Too much asphalt to replace with concrete.

I agree with you that fighting Climate Change is a fool's errand.

Especially given the emissions from China and India.

If you only live 10 miles from work... buy a bicycle.

Do you ride a bicycle to work?

The home charger most people have charges 44 mph

They are a step sideways, at best. Meanwhile, everyone pays more for the step sideways and the more government mandates we can only buy EV's, the more it hurts the poorer and contributes to income inequality.

Please refer back to the OP and your own links.

Have you been in an electric car? Most of them make everyone feel like they’re driving a Stone Age vehicle.

 

[elektra]

I did which is how I know you’re delusional.

Your link was nothing but bullshit and did not support what you stated

LOL. And this is what you are promoting? What's next, eating berries and no meat? Maybe the government will mandate we eat bugs.

Occasionally... But I live a lot more than 10 miles from work.

LOL. So, you think others should ride bikes to work while you don't.

Yeah, it’s really not that complicated.

I guess Tesla doesn’t know anything about car chargers.

 

[toobfreak]

I saw an EV Ford F150 yesterday, pathetic!

Ford has cut way back on producing those because there is little demand for them!

I’d rather eat a fist full of berries than a bag of Cheetos.

There’s 8 billion people. Thinking about sustainability is the smart thing to do.

How about we make a business out of producing bugs to eat for all of the shithole countries to solve the world hunger crisis while the rest of us eat real food?

Do you have a source for this claim or is it just “trust me bro”?

What, are you 12 or has dementia set in?
