Questions for you.
EVangelistas like you want as Biden guaranteed
"I want you to look into my eyes, I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels”...as your solution to global warming. OK.
So my question for you : are you willing to pay 100% or more for tires for your EV? Have you considered that cost when
agreeing with Biden to "rid fossil fuels"?
According to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, it takes “approximately seven gallons” of oil to produce a single tire.
Over the last three years tire prices have increased an average of 70%. In other words a tire that was $100 at the beginning of 2009 is probably listed around $170 today. That translates to approximately 5 billion gallons of crude oil (note: at today's price of $2 the total cost to tire makers over $10 billion a year) utilized to make tires each year.
A 42 gallon barrel of oil cost October 18, 2022 is $84.38 per barrel. or $2 per gallon.How Oil Prices Impact Tire Pricing
As the price of oil and gas continues to soar, what does this mean to the tire industry? We explore the real issues...www.dunntire.com
Or how about the FACT that your taxes used to construct asphalt roads will skyrocket
because when Biden rids fossil fuels, what will replace oil that in making asphalt, 1.312 billion barrels a year in oil is used?

Your unreasonable fears over the lib climate change end-of-the-world fantasy?
The cost of electricity will skyrocket because of this, and the Poor, Working Class, and Middle Class will become Slaves to The State.Hertz rental proudly announces they are going to buy 175,000 EVs to rent.
So what happens to power generating plants to meet the power needs of both Hertz and say 10% of current cars/trucks are converted to EVs?
It is very simple. 10% of current cars/trucks being EVs each using at .346 kWh per mile traveled.
Calculations:
Average Electric Car kWh Per Mile [Results From 231 EVs]
Find the average electric car kWh per 100 miles, along with the best and the worst. Plus see the costs, savings and how you can go greener.ecocostsavings.com
A) Cars..
The average commuter drives 29 miles/day for 5 days for 50 weeks. 146 million Americans do that per below.
https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/average-miles-driven-per-year/
B) Trucks...
- That is 7,540 miles/year per driver times 146 million commuters or 110,120,192,000 per year (again just 5 days a week)
- that would be 38,101,586,432 kWh for just 10% of EV cars driven in one year
C) Total of an additional 2,994,301,586,432 kWh for 10% of American cars/trucks at .346 kWh/mile.
- There are 37,900,000 trucks that according to Economics and Industry Data drive 78,000 miles per year.
- Assuming 10% of these trucks become EVs and the mileage per mile is .346 kWh/mile or 2,956,200,000,000 kWh.
D) If 11,070 total power plants in usa right now generate 4,165,030,000,000 kWh or 493,842,118 kWh
E) how many more plants to generate 2,994,301,586,432 kWh for 10% of American cars/trucks at .346 kWh/mile.
F) an additional 2,994,301,586,432 kWh for 10% of EV cars/trucks divided by 493,842,118 kWh/power plant
will be 3,460 more power plants.
In summary, if just 10% of cars/trucks become EVs will require 3,460 more power plants at a cost per power plant (after 10 years of planning and building) a $2 billion power plant or $6,919,974,587,797 (https://schlissel-technical.com/docs/reports_35.pdf
And that's just 10% of cars/trucks becoming EVs requiring the addition of 3,460 power plants !

AND I'll repeat it again... That was a "blogger"... Samantha HoustonSure, when the next electric car rolls onto a neighborhood block already filled with electric cars or a transit agency plans to roll out half dozen electric buses at the depot, the local utility may need to upgrade a local transformer or add extra distribution wires. But do not doubt this: there is currently enough power generation and transmission currently to serve the increase in charging load from EV purchases in the next few years, particularly if they are charged at times when other demands for power are less (such as overnight) or at times of high renewable energy generation.
I’ll say it again because the fossil fuel disinformation machine wants you to believe otherwise: there is enough power generation and transmission on our current electric grid to charge all the electric vehicles being purchased over the next few years.

Now you figure it out...
IF all the cars/trucks were EVs which is the objective how much electricity needed to charge their batteries
given the batteries use .346 kWh to travel 1 mile.
They will require 13,722,646,751,445 kWh per year.

I don't like to carry anything i.e. grocery bags on a train or bus. I prefer being able to leave them in my car and then go into the store without being searched as I would if a train or bus was my only alternative.That's not being snotty, it's talking to Americans who have established a track record with me of being ignorant assholes.
Would you be interested in improving the relationship?
I don't really care but I'll offer the option.
And so what can you imagine for the possibilities of a future with mass transit instead of individuals driving gas cars alone?
The whole world is pleased to hear about what you prefer!I don't like to carry anything i.e. grocery bags on a train or bus. I prefer being able to leave them in my car and then go into the store without being searched as I would if a train or bus was my only alternative.
I'm interested in facts. Provide me your facts as I've done below.Your calculations are full of errors, but mostly intentional errors.
But much more important is the fact that EV's not ever going to replace gas and diesel vehicles one for one.
EV's can replace say 20% of them. That's my rather generous estimate for you to chew on. And then of course the gas and diesel vehicles will be replaced with mass transit and other methods of minimizing the need for vehicles that pollute and do harm to the environment.
Don't bother answering if you're only interested in more spamming.
Well again you are exaggerating. Not the whole world. But enough people, i.e. for example:The whole world is pleased to hear about what you prefer!
