They want us just like Eurotrash...with the intent of making us more like Africa. The goals...1) Take away God. 2) Take away cars. 3) Take away freedom. 4) Take away guns. 5) Take away the training of our children. 6) Make us 100% dependent on China.(DNC/WEF) Globalist-sponsored report advocates ‘reducing’ private car ownership

The End Game...I wonder what the Griswold family would say....
And then there is this from the NTSB…If I had an electric vehicle (which I don't and never will), I'd be afraid to park it in my garage or even close to my house. The batteries seem to self-destruct burning or even exploding too often.

EVs are the new COVID vaccine. They are the latest religion of the Left and they seek to make them mandatory for everyone by eliminating the alternatives. Never mind the fact that the grid won't support them and they aren't a reliable option for many.Meanwhile it was a massive dogpile of EV haters....which mystifies me. Why do people HATE and I mean DESPISE a transportation tool????
You will sitting on a fire bomb.I said no, but that's contingent on current technology.
If something substantial changes with run time/charge time I can't say never.
Interesting take. I do not partake in "MSM"...at all, as in, zero minutes really in a year, so I'm definitely out of touch with what is being advertised or lied about on the news other than the trickle down that comes here and to twitter.EVs are the new COVID vaccine.

From what I've seen they are not viable up here in the winter, at least in rural areas. The trucks are a joke for serious work.

I suspect that the lunacy in CA is the driver of you concern that they will become mandatory. Only the loony left could think its a good idea to replace fossil fuels before replacing fossil fuels!!
As to the grid supporting BVE's, the vast majority of charging should be taking place after work hours when we have plenty of baseload capacity to spare. I haven't seen any studies on this, but, for "normal"...as in something like 90% of workers, the BEV is charged overnight, they leave for work, come home and charge before their morning commute, rinse and repeat. I would think CA would show a problem here first as their grid is already close to "maxed" and the best selling cars of 2022 in the #1 and #2 spots were both BEV's....Toyota came in a rather distant 3rd place. With those sorts of sales numbers I would think their grid would collapse there fairly quickly if its really a pressing concern. That having been said, charging BEV's takes a lot of wattage! I couldn't imagine our current grid handling very many charging in the daytime, but I am not in possession of numbers.
I don't have experience in cold conditions at this point, but, from watching many youtube videos on the cold subject I'm expecting a 10% penalty in winter...which wouldn't be terrible as lately we just haven't had many days below say 10F. However, I do not think I would be considering an BEV for my line of work if I still lived in MN, however, for the typical worker who drives 30 miles round trip....they would really like the fact that BEV's heat up the cabin in about 1/2 the time as ICE vehicles take.
You are not lying, I think I've watched every single truck video on youtube and while they can be good basic transportation, same as any other BEV, they are total GARBAGE for towing. Absolutely not an option at this point. I'm wondering if the Cybertruck will be garbage at towing as well? We should know in about 6 months!
Great points! I've thought this thing through...obsessing even to try and not make a big mistake....and about a week ago I realized, big whoptie do...I'll know within a few weeks if I've botched myself...and I'll just sell it, loose some money or maybe not, depending on wait times, but even if I lost 10k, whatever....thats literally 5 good days of profit, and it saves me 5,000 in taxes. So, when I realized this all my overthinking went away, lol.
As a parting thought, there has to be a bunch of marketing pushing BEV's to kids....all sorts of morons who live in apartments are buying BEV's!!! They have no place to charge!!! Now that places one firmly in the "moron" category I think...plus, why on earth would you buy a new car when you don't even own your own home yet??? Insanity....

No. No, they don’t. That is a myth that just doesn’t hold up per the actual numbers. I showed the numbers for last year (2022) in a post above.You will sitting on a fire bomb.
Batteries have a bad habit of going boom big time when charging !!
Richard:As a matter of interest without reading all the posts does anyone have experience of owning or leasing an electric vehicle and can provide feedback on problems and advantages of ownership.
Thank you.
Bob,You will be able to keep your gas vehicles.
But, the gas stations will be mostly gone.
The few remaining gas stations will only serve the leadership.
It is very true that we are using up finite resources.Is it possible...that the world will move towards a sustainable energy economy instead of one where we are using up finite resources?
The folks over at Macro Voices have done a ton of work answering your questions.It is very true that we are using up finite resources.
But what are the current viable sustainable energy options? I honestly cannot think of one.
Is solar a viable sustainable energy source?
How much oil and other finite resources are used to make the panels? And then you only have power for about 1/3 of each day. And panels have a relatively short life span.
Wind turbines? Again how much oil and other finite resources are used in manufacture and maintenance? And again only work part of the time and have a relatively short life span.
Nuclear? Uses a finite supply of fissionable material. Odds of any new plants being built in the USA about zero.

An EV still cannot accomplish this:Zero MSM here too
I see government in general putting their thumb down hard in favor of EVs. Tax credits, subsidizing charging, etc. That is affecting the market and I'm already seeing reduced choices in IC vehicles.
I did some quick searches but didn't find any great data. I 'think' that EV miles driven in CA is probably still in the low single percentage points. I'm pretty sure that the increased reliance on renewables for grid power and more demand by EVs are on a collision course. The sun don't shine at night around here, ha. My local electric co-op just brought on a bunch of wind power. They also just sent out a survey asking if people were planning on buying an EV in the next few years. It seems to be on their radar.
In the winter here I'm seeing reports of 20-50% reduction in range. For distance driving, like going on vacation, it seems like the entire focus would have to be on finding a charging station, and how to kill time waiting for it to charge. In China they have a version of EVs with switchable batteries, you drive into an 'electric station' and a robot swaps out the battery in a few minutes. That model seems to make more sense, unless the goal is to keep people in their 15 minute cities.
One thing I still like to do is put the camper on the truck, maybe hook up the boat, and travel 200+ miles to the west, north, and points in between. There are quite a few places that don't have cell service let alone EV charging stations, lol.
Personally, if I lived in a city and had regular daily commute, I could see myself considering one. But it does piss me off that the government is spending my money subsidizing them.

1. Geothermal
2. Nuclear
Elon Musk's team seems to think wind and solar are scalable.
I'm not fully convinced on wind and solar. I think they can play a part of our energy needs, but from the research/inputs I've read and listened to, its seems Geothermal and Nuclear are much more promising.
We will solve the supply problem....or....there will be almost zero people in 200 very short years....
The real kicker in solar at present is I think it takes 12 years to get the energy it took to build it back....and, they are rated for 20 years, so, probably by 25 years or so they will be replaced and I am not sure if they are/can be recycled? Maybe someone else here knows??
Wind is much better, energy payback is I believe 60 years due primarily to the massive chunk of concrete in the base....which will last 1000 lifetimes, so, eventually wind finally pays off in energy and then it is significant although intermittent, so it will have to be backed by huge battery banks which will make that 60 year number even longer...
Geothermal will require drilling technology not yet invented, but IF it gets done will be an excellent and inexpensive long term solution!
We need to break ground on nuclear NOW....the new breeder reactors will use the old used fuel we are currently storing for 100,000 years (an abysmally poor plan if you ask me....100,000 years is insanity!!!) after the breeder reactor is done....50 years of storage!!! From what I understand we have many thousands of years worth of nuc material/thorium or what not. Even if we only had a couple thousand years worth of nuc material it seems a good play until the unlimited amount of geothermal energy can be economically extracted.
So, as you say "unicorns", well, what do you think we should try and do? Just keep rolling along until the coal and oil run out in well under 100 years and we have a 99% mass extinction event??? OR....work towards things that can work even imperfectly???
Remember, we don't have to replace 100% of oil...really just 20% or so as almost 80% of every gallon of fuel is lost in waste heat.

Hey, we are in agreement.Well hiwall…if our society doesn’t pull its collective head out of its backside and build nukes soon…our grandkids are in for a world of hurt.
It’s very frustrating…Chris Martenson has called a clear warning for years. Nobody has listened it seems.

Very good observationI'd never want to own an EV because of...crime.
At some point, I'd likely be in a strange city and need a charge. Waiting around for the battery to charge, thugs would know that people at the charging stations are marks. The biggest reason large inner cities have so much crime is that targets are walking or they've stopped. That's why so many criminals go to big cities, there's a surplus of easy marks.
It's really hard to mug someone when they're traveling at 55 mph.
