The lunacy of electric cars

[Theowl32]

So, how aware are the leftists of the damage done to the land in order to mine for lithium. Now imagine the damage and the vastness of it if that icky oil is banned and every car were electric.

Do leftists think beyond their own particular situation? We already know they are hypocritical about everything. Just consider how they are all free to live as the Amish do (pretty sure that's what that tart Thunberg is claiming as she flies first class around the world) but none of them do.

Are they able for instance to consider just how much lithium would to be mined? Like those that said cars can all run on corn, as if there is that much corn that could be grown to power all cars.

They are sniveling idiotic spoiled monkeys just marching to the as created by their globalist overlords, about every single solitary issue they virtue signal about.

how so?

You still have the ICE maintaince problem/expense as well as an expensive battery pack to replace after 5 years

yes, I already said they were expensive to maintain. Try reading the post before replying, you might not appear so stupid.

 

[Lesh]

Wait until they get a $20,000 plus bill for replacing that battery. Wonder what the core disposal charge is?

What does it cost to replace an auto engine?

 

[Mac-7]

EV's are not for everyone, and they won't replace gas vehicles. So ya'll can calm down.

The left wing plans to leave you no choice except to buy an electric car

 

[Mac-7]

What does it cost to replace an auto engine?

About $6000 for a four cylinder to $10,000 for a v8

but with regular oil change a new engine can run 200,000 miles

 

[sartre play]

Not understanding why you think Americans are too dumb to do the research and decide for them self's what kind of car they want to buy.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The best part is the leftists actually believe Nancy, Chucky, Obammy and the demleftists care about GW and EVs other than scaring them for votes.

 

[Woodznutz]

About $6000 for a four cylinder to $10,000 for a v8

At 200,000 miles the Ford/Mercury 4.6 liter V8 is just getting broken in.

At 200,000 miles the Ford/Mercury 4.6 liter V8 is just getting broken in.

But maintaining compression, good bearing fit and tight oil seals is not the whole story

there are dozens of gadgets on the engine that can fail

 

[ElmerMudd]

there are lots of studies comparing the cost per mile of an EV to a gas powered car. the EV loses every time, even with senile Joe's gas prices.

The major benefit is elimination of pollution and using a renewable resource.

 

[there4eyeM]

Are we to believe that the assumption is that any support for non-petroleum powered vehicles is "leftist"?

 

[Mac-7]

Only according to theory spun by the greenies

 

[otto105]

Its amazing how ignorant the EV advocates are about basic science and energy. They seem to think that an EV just runs forever without any input of any kind. If they get beyond that they think the recharging is free and doesn't require additional generating capacity. Ignorance abounds on the left, they prove it every day.

Who thinks that EV vehicles run forever on the left?

Can you name them?

And no, we think that recharging stations are infrastructure. Just like the government building roads and gas station infrastructure for gasoline gas in the past century.

If government was responsible for providing gas stations we would still be in the horse and buggy days

Then I suggest you look up the history of them.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Lithium comes from Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina.

Strip mining

Why dont you tell us your version of history if you think we should know?

 

[Wyatt earp]

An EV has a smaller carbon footprint than a gas powered car.

Forget about what supplies it?

 

[otto105]

I don't have a personal version of history.

You don't either.
