Remember...Biden: “I Guarantee You We’re Going To End Fossil Fuel”... replace with what...electricity?

[healthmyths]

In 2020, there were 286.9 million cars registered in America.
In 2020, while the US grid had 1,117.5TW of utility electricity capacity and 27.7GW of solar, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

If all the cars were EVs charging at 7kW, they would need 2,008.3TW – nearly twice the grid capacity.

(NOTE... Total current US grid capacity:1,244TWs:
Required charging: 2,008.3TW and remember that's assuming ONLY cars are charging...
what about your refrigerator , A/C , TV, Internet...all use electricity including the factories processing your food!)
If they charged at 50kW, they would need 14,345TW – 12.8 times the capacity.

Electricity Grids Can Handle Electric Vehicles Easily â They Just Need Proper Management

One of the most frequent concerns you will see from electric vehicle haters is that the electricity grid can’t possibly cope with all cars becoming EVs. However, they haven’t done the math properly. The grids in most developed nations will be just fine. Here’s how.

SO FOLKS... If we were all electric cars today...
A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW charging point. Most drivers top up charge rather than waiting for their battery to recharge from empty-to-full. For many electric cars, you can add up to 100 miles of range in ~35 minutes with a 50kW rapid charger.Nov 11, 2021

With range of over 200 miles between charges, most owners will only charge once a week and at night when electric consumption is at its lowest.

Many homeowners will also invest in solar panels to charge their cars for free

Did some research on your comments

Electricity consumption in the United States was about 3.9 trillion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2021 Use of electricity - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)​

Charging all 286.9 million cars at 7 kWh would require 2.008 trillion kWh.
"consumption is at its lowest."
The problem is EVERYONE would be charging at night... so how would consumption be at it's lowest?
"homeowners will also invest in solar panels to charge their cars for free"

If home rooftop solar is used to charge an electric car in the US, it costs just $415 annually, compared to $662 on grid power at home annually, and $1,058 annually with a public EV charger, according to a study conducted by consumer solar panel installation reviews website SolarReviews. The study also found that it costs up to $1,260 annually to fill a gas car’s tank.https://electrek.co/2021/07/15/egeb-heres-how-much-it-costs-to-charge-your-ev-with-rooftop-solar/

And how many that live in apartments. How many that live in condos. How many that rent? What do they do? There are people that live in areas that it is a hundred miles to the next major town what do they do? There are people that rely on their vehicle to get them around farms And other areas that require them to Put on miles every day. What do they do?

And how are cars charged with solar panels on homes during the day when most cars are where people are working during the day?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

If you replaced all internal combustion engines with EV's, try to imagine the mining for lithium it would take.
The environmental impact would be staggering. Are people around the world ready to embrace that?

Ummmm…..batteries that are charged during the day and discharge at night

On average, it costs between $0.30- $0.60 kWh to charge an electric vehicle. Therefore, this means that a small car could cost about $11.50 to $23 to fully charge ​

while a bigger or long-distance vehicle could cost between $22.50 to $45.​

How long does it take to charge an electric car at a public charging station?​

There are three types of charging stations that could help determine the price of charging and the mass of time it would take to charge your electric car.

• Level 3: These types of chargers are much more potent than levels 2 and 1. It takes less time to charge at these stations, but not all cars can charge at these ports. Your car charge also needs to be below 80% charge to be charged at these ports. After your vehicle is at 80% of charge, the car starts charging a little slower. Level 3 chargers could take about fifteen minutes to charge your vehicle with 7kWh, covering around forty-five kilometers. (27 miles)... 15 minutes to charge to go 27 miles... (I fill my car to go 300 miles in 15 mins!)
• Level 2: These charger types are the most typical ones easily found anywhere in public. If your car is at 80% charge, it is better to charge it at a level 2 because it will charge at the same speed as a level 3 charger but at a cheaper cost. Level 2 chargers take between 5 to 12 hours to charge your car entirely.
• Level 1: These chargers are ones you can have in your garage. It takes several hours to charge your car to 100% at home since the outlet has only 120 volts. If you have time, this would be a cheaper option. Charging at home will take between 8 to over 40 hours, depending on your car’s battery size.

You can choose to charge your car at home or in public charging stations depending on how much time you have

The Average Costs of using Car Charging Stations

The new trend is using chargeable cars due to their effectiveness in causing less pollution and for their convenience. Using an electric vehicle gives you multiple advantages over those using gas because a gas vehicle has fewer moving parts than a gasoline-powered car meaning that...

Think about that... you just got home, your expecting wife needs to go, and your car is 10% charged able to go 20 miles!
Right!!!

With range of over 200 miles between charges, most owners will only charge once a week and at night when electric consumption is at its lowest.

Most people actually drive more than 50 miles a day, and in cold, rainy weather, EVs get less than 150 miles on a charge.
So you have to charge more like 3 times a week.

If you charge at night, you can't use solar panels for it.

Not only do EVs cost almost twice as much, but batteries last only about 10 years and cost about $10k.
That is totally impractical.
With ICE, I normally buy 10 year old vehicles and keep them for 15 years longer.

 

[Rigby5]

Ummmm…..batteries that are charged during the day and discharge at night

Batteries are expensive, heavy, and inefficient.
So you would have to have 2 banks, with one set at home to capture daylight and another for the EV.
That is another $20k investment you do not need with ICE.
And that does not include costs for the solar panels, risk of fire, etc.

Makes more sense if you want to go away from fossil fuel, to switch to hydrogen.
That is clean when it burns into water, and is smaller, lighter, cheaper, and more efficient than batteries.

The 250 miles is the max range.
It is bad to approach the limit, as it cuts battery life and risks needing a tow.
The range is also half that if it is cold, raining, etc.

Nor is there enough electrical generators.
We would have to triple the amount of electricity production.
The current cables to each house would be insufficient.
The whole grid would have to be entirely redone.
Probably not enough copper in the whole world to be able to do that.

 

[ThisIsMe]

I did some calculations a few months back, and if you took the total miles driven each year, and factored in the range of each vehicle and the amount of electricity used to charge each vehicle, if you converted every vehicle to electric, and given the amount land needed for a wind turbine, and how much each turbine produces each year, and then factored in the amount of land in the u.s., if my calculations were right, you'd have to cover about 50% of the land mass in the u.s. with turbines, just to power the charging of those ev's.

It is actually far worse than that even, since wind is inconsistant and requires huge inefficient and expensive batteries.
With batteries you need to generate almost twice as much electricity to cover loses from charging, storage, discharging, and carrying all the extra weight.

EV's whatever!

Left Wingers never think ahead.
They are shallow and dumb.
They think that they are saving the planet from the imaginary man-made global warming "existential threat", but they are doing more harm to the planet and starving people, and causing wars, and mass immigration.

Funny how you claim that they will have trouble attracting tenants without understanding how much it costs to install, maintain and even will add to each persons bill. Funny that the left never cares about the prices they push onto poor and limited income

Right!!!

I think if your wife is at that level of pregnancy you would be sure not to have an empty tank of gas or a low charged EV

Beyond that
You will have a difficult time selling your house if it lacks a charging station
