The Tesla, as it has 7.12 KWH usable energy, while the Honda has 1.58 usable energy.

Brilliant answer, worth bumping the thread back up to the top.

Does Tesla or Honda have road side assistance, drop a pin technology?.
This is a good time for me to advocate CPR education in high school and certification every 5 years in order to validate your drivers license.

Then why do proponents of EV’s state the government must install thousands of public chargers for EV’s?!

Because some people can't charge at home, or make a road trip beyond the range of their EV and because EVs are going to replace ICE cars. More EVs require more chargers.

I think I'm beginning to catch on to what these 2 are asking us to do. We need to have a vehicle for each Individual trip we go on. So today I need my big old suburban because there are 12 of us going out for supper. Tomorrow is a mountain trail ride, so that is the can am side by side, when I get home, diesel truck on trailer to pull a load of steel home for a project and then a road trip to visit relatives. Long distance trip, so if it is warm, could use the tesla but if it's cold, won't chance it, will take the dependable old Mercedes that gets 35 miles to the gallon for the 15000 miles it is driving en per year. As a critical thinker, you seem to have missed this cc

So forced to buy an EV , but can’t afford to have a charging station at home , so the tax payers will have to flip the bill ?
Government never set up gas stations …..
regardless , for the foreseeable future there will no way be enough power in our grid system to have all EV’s . Add the magical heat pumps instead of reliable affordable natural gas furnaces .
I see electricity prices going up to where Germany is now .
then see how cheap it is to drive and EV , especially in winter

Exactly the same story as his solution for electricity generation. Replace a single reliable source with three different systems to back up the wind and solar when they fail.
To save the environment of course. Because building a car for every purpose and a generation system for every weather is the best way to save the environment. Because all of the materials that go into building those redundant cars and redundant generation and redundant transmission don't have a CO2 or environmental footprint.

It’s a deception and Scam! Scientific critical analysis and Common Sense… are now “illegal “ and “immoral “anyone who questions the logic and rational sense of the “New Green Revolution “ is to be : ridiculed, insulted, and intimidated.

Many Blessings!

Certainly agree. Here is the government’s plan. First subsidize EV’s so someone will buy them. Then make the taxpayer pay for a taxpayer funded network of EV car chargers, apparently there is no business case for privately funded charging stations. Then provide massive subsidies, again with taxpayers money, to attract EV battery manufacturers to build their factories in Canada. While at the same yearly increasing the punitive carbon tax on fossil fuels to make the increasingly expensive and less dependable renewable electricity grid more attractive. What a well thought out business plan, fml!!!

If you could only see how STUPID the idea is, how costly, what a waste of resources, $$$, current infrastructure...just for an IDEA....how about NO EV, need NO chargers, NO batteries, don't spend $billions$ fixing what is NOT broke, just live stress free of CHANGE for CHANGE sake.... as it all is just fine.

Most of the charging stations are privately owned and installed and users pay for them!

Tesla currently has the biggest network and several other auto companies including Ford are going to be able to use them.

Most people live in the city and only commute a small distance. They usually only need 2 cars at most and don't have a vehicle for every purpose.

And they can charge on route, especially in the future when more chargers exist and solid state batteries reduce charge times and increase range.

You can also buy a plug in hybrid option that will cover most of your EV commutes and provide a long range ICE in areas that dont have enough chargers.

Somehow most of you seem not to understand this.

Try to keep up!

But i am not surprised most of you are so far behind because most of you don't think human caused climate change is real and that the world is in transition to a low carbon emission future!
