Which does not have anything to do with this discussion. The bottom line remains, forcing something on an infrastructure that can't handle the increased demand is foolhardy in the extreme. Now, if we start building small nuclear power plants for individual cities and upgrading power distribution systems, we might be able to do it without plunging the country into darkness on a regular basis as the grid breaks down under the strain of millions of cars being charged simultaneously.
Left alone, the market will reward the innovators that create more efficient, more usable products.
What propaganda? Is the power grid capable of charging millions of cars simultaneously? I don't think so. We barely have the capacity to meet the demand we already have, with a lot more projected in the future.It has nothing to do with your silly propaganda peddling, true, since your fantasy is no more real than the EV scams.
You're fixated on the price of petroleum. That's not what I'm talking about. Go back and read what I said.lol no, it won't, it's controlled by cartels who can raise and lower prices at will, same as most other commodities markets. You don't know anything about markets and how they operate, you just have slogans and fake stats you shill for corporate interests.
Thanks. I had seen a graphic where most of it's electric charging stations were in China, but other article either didn't mention or I glossed over the rollout planned for China. Oh, and thanks for the copied blurb with highlighted info, as I am not a Bloomberg Subscriber.You get a more accurate context from the bloomberg piece than from the independent Tesla news reporting web site...
Shell Plans to Divest 1,000 Retail Sites in Shift to EV Charging
Shell Plc plans to divest 500 retail sites annually over the next two years, responding to a growing demand for electric vehicle chargers.www.bloomberg.com
“In total, we plan to divest around 500 Shell-owned sites (including joint ventures) a year in 2024 and 2025.”
The London-based major said it would focus on public chargers — increasing those to 200,000 by the end of the decade compared to 54,000 currently — because customers need them more than home charging. The company will roll out these in China — where it operates more than half its current recharging stations — and Europe where demand is fast growing.''
The company didn’t give details on which retail sites it would divest.
Sure they will.....Gas and oil giant Shell is looking to close as many as 1,000 retail gas stations in the coming years, as it pivots toward deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
Yep. All "Green Energy" is a joke.Well, they're going to get woke and go broke. Bad decision, IMHO.
Time to research investing in their competitors that aren't doing that.
I find it humorous that that's a big diesel generator behind that charging station.
It's like those false fronts in the old west.
They STILL have to be charged. By OIL power.If the batteries were a tad more efficient and lighter, it wouldn't be.
And that's likely to come about in the relatively near future. Until that happens, though, and the power grid is upgraded with more generating plants online, EV's will remain a niche market.If the batteries were a tad more efficient and lighter, it wouldn't be.

This is the same subject I've been on this whole time. EV's are likely the future of automobiles, but not yet, because they're not ready for prime time, for the reasons I've listed. There's nothing to refute, just facts to deal with.Keep changing the topic and hope nobody notices you can't refute anything. lol
As time goes by, less and less and less of that charging power will come from fossil fuels.They STILL have to be charged. By OIL power.
That is the hope, but we have to acknowledge that those power sources are far from ready to replace fossil fuels.As time goes by, less and less and less of that charging power will come from fossil fuels.
Yeah. If more Nuclear power plants are built. Or if more Dams are built.As time goes by, less and less and less of that charging power will come from fossil fuels.
They ARE replacing fossil fuels and there is more than enough potential capacity to replace all of it.That is the hope, but we have to acknowledge that those power sources are far from ready to replace fossil fuels.
Maybe with nuclear we could do it, the others are just not reliable and continuous enough.They ARE replacing fossil fuels and there is more than enough potential capacity to replace all of it.
Nuclear is fine. Fusion even better. The wind is always blowing somewhere and we know when the sun is up and when it's down. With sufficient storage and a smart enough grid, these are not problems.Maybe with nuclear we could do it, the others are just not reliable and continuous enough.
