Electric Vehicle Nonsense

[bobofthenorth]

Here's how a Tesla works in the real world. Bro-in-law who has more money than God bought one last fall. They live on Vancouver Island so he gets massive incentives from the BC government which he needs like he needs a 2nd asshole but that's beside the point. They've got a perfectly roadworthy BMW which would be my choice for a winter trip to San Francisco but virtue signalling prevails - they're taking the Tesla. The big problem for their trip planning is finding a route where they can actually make it from charging pedestal to charging pedestal. I have resisted the urge to ask what happens if they get stuck in a traffic jam or the road is blocked with snow.

The likelihood of individuals owning electric cars will be remote. .

How will people be able to virtue signal if that electric car isn't sitting in the drive way.

Green morons, dreamers

It gets better! Check this CBC article. Suggesting we all turn off our natural gas furnaces!! Absolutely bizarre.

I read that. That has to be the stupidest article ever published and that's saying something for CBC. Like zero research and thought, just pump out another climate alarmist article as fast as you can.

Half of your energy load is heating and AC, maybe more than that. if the grid cant charge a car, it cant get enough electrons to you to heat your house either. Where would the electricity come from? Natural gas generators? stalled wind mills? hydro dams that take 20 yrs to build. I mean WTF are people thinking. The losses to generate electricity, then wire it on the grid to your home and then put it through resistance type base board heaters would be enormous while gas is 94% efficient.

Yikes . . . . . more people in the media walking around without laces in their shoes.

Its like they havent got a brain left in their ****ing heads
But you would still think they would ask themselves where the power would come from ? Or how it would all get through the grid ?

The likelihood of individuals owning electric cars will be remote. Most likely in large urban areas fleets of self driving cars will be charged at charging stations and be available like uber. If you live in the country you probably already have access to heavy power delivery. As long as there is enough electric generation at main nodes it should work. Big infrastructure program to build electric network of charging stations along major routes.

except that many taxis drive with 2 shifts 18-20h a day
