Huge Percentage Of EV Owners Want To Go Back To Normal Cars, Study Finds

[Crick]

I wonder what percentage of automobile owners circa 1900 wanted to go back to horses.

It was intended as a message for people like you. You 'got it' and that's good.

Now just call it $30 to account for conversion losses.

And start acting like a grown up instead of a contrary bitch on everything that gets in your brain.

Got it. You ignore the range drops significantly at full HWY speeds like 80MPH. That’s the main point. EV aint that cheap running at 1/2 effeciency. And electric rates are nowhere near as cheap as reported. When GOVT gets you hooked they will tax the bejeezus outa EV or Electricity to limit you. They are doing it now to Gasoline.

Why do you think they want to "limit you"?

 

[hadit]

It's only a matter of time before battery technology allows faster charging and prices on EV's come down.

When that happens, no one will want an internal combustion engine in their car.

Sure, but between now and then there are going to be the kind of problems that we're seeing. It will take significant time and a LOT of investment as well as high prices to get there, so pretending the problems don't exist is futile.

Complete control over all. The Elite (them) will be exempt of course. Like in China, your social score will deny or approve some travel.

DEM commee want that here. You get X amount of charge per week. Enough to go to work and food store once. No more weekend trips to LV if you don’t donate to and support the Dem GOVT.

We saw beginnings of this in Australia during phony Covid. 1-fith of booze, no cigs, no gas, leave your home masked up once per week etc. if you would not vaccinate…even worse.

That future is not now

And may not exist when greenie/lib/democrat mandates force consumers to buy cars they dont like

Again, WHY? My gas car costs 1/2 EV price. If EV was good and cost effective now popularity would explode. I’m not paying $25K more to save $50/mo (if true?) in Gasoline.

I know where to get gas. I got two credit cards. WHY force me to change? What’s in it for me? I’m good right now.

Who are the elite?

How will they control your electrical supply?

How does someone make donations to the government?

How would the elite determine whether or not you support the government?

The primary reason the world is moving to non-emitting technology is not to save you money. It's to stop GHG emissions.

Don’t be a sap. It’s all easily done. Wireless Technology is already in place in a lot of CA to limit your charge or shut it off by household. Just stuff it loon. Im not working for an idiot on a day off work. And my battery needs charging!

I can find no evidence that the government can shut off your charger. There are arrangements between energy utilities and customers that, in exchange for lower electrical rates, allows the utility to shut off power to the entire residence when the grid is overloaded . But I have found nothing supporting your specific contention and several comments calling it a conservative paranoid fantasy. You seem very likely to be avoiding answering the four questions I asked you in post #88.

Nearly half of American electric vehicle (EV) owners want to buy an internal combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study from McKinsey and Company, a leading consulting firm.

Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey’s study, which was obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.


The study’s findings further suggest that the Biden administration’s EV push is struggling to land with American consumers, after 46% of respondents indicated that they are unlikely or very unlikely to purchase an EV in a June poll conducted by The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute.

Huh, if only someone had predicted this!

Toyota was right......120V plug-in hybrids with a 50 mile battery range are the future.

I was amazed by the fact that so many EV owners don't have a home charging system.

The hybrid is the perfect answer.

Unless of course you want to drive a Hybrid Prius through the mountains to Red River New Mexico ...
After crossing the flatlands of West Texas at 75 miles per hour.

I tried it ... And even with the downhill charging ... I was trying to get to the top of one pass more than a few miles out ...
And thought I was going to have to Fred Flintstone the bitch the rest of the way.

Well... There's a lot to be said for bicycling
In fact I was looking into getting a Vespa and taking the leaf off the road for the good weather.
Only 100 bucks a year for road insurance.

During the Carter Administration ... my friends and I were all totally pissed off at Big Oil ... as teenagers we had plenty of energy and we all lived within five miles of school ... fifteen minutes on a bicycles, about as fast as you can get with a car ... without the oil changes, alternators, radiator fluids, brake pads, jets, mufflers, etc etc etc ...

... just peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ...

Few years back there was an idea floated here in Massachusetts pertaining to smart metering systems that communicated with the household appliances. Some of the communications would include peak charges for high demand periods that would trigger an economy setting to shut off the dryer or the washing machine until it was a non peak. I never liked the idea.

I can believe in the near future we may be looking at electrical appurtenances that are controllable remotely by the utility.

I have dealt with utility grade switch gear for private companies that had features similar to that.
