Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

And everyone even misunderstand the goals.

Even if you have all new consumer sales being EV by 2030 or 2035, you still have 3/4 of the he cars on the road being gas.

Yes, it will take a while to replace the fleet---perhaps they should revive the "Cash for Clunkers" program to speed things up.

About that notion where everyone will be using EV powered public transports.

Yes, battery fires are much more rare and much worse.

The Hamden Fire Department responded to a lithium-ion battery fire that turned an unoccupied CT Transit electric bus into an inferno in a parking lot on Saturday, according to a report by WTNH.

“Officials said the fire was difficult to extinguish due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites,” the outlet reported.

Yes. They're worse.

And much less common.

I love how this thread has turned in to a listing of every single particular bad EV experience.

Well, when all the real data is against them... That's all they've got.

Biden and the ecocommunists.

It doesn't matter how an EV is powered, because it's more efficient and using the energy. A coal powered EV is less harmful than a gas car. Even if it uses dirty energy, it uses less. I don't care about the environment but those are facts.

Who is getting paid and who is on the take to create a false narrative that gas engines are as good as EVs?

the only ones I've seen are individual owners of gas vehicles I dont think theyre being paid by anyone.

you do know that China is the biggest manufacturor of solar panels.? chips. batteries?
if we go full EV what assurance do we have that that an EMP strike would not disable everything including our electric vehicles.

is china the leader in this technology green or still relying on fossil fuels? why?

China Remains as Reliant as Ever on Fossil Fuels

China remains as tied as ever to fossil fuels, even as it adds more renewable power than any other nation. Last year, the share of coal and gas in power generation was stuck at 71%, the same as 2020.

The buses (public and prison) that they will be riding will be electric.

put another way they'll be forced into mass transit if they were not riding on it already.

 

[newfie]

Yes, battery fires are much more rare and much worse.

whats battery disposal do for our environment?

Here in the Northeast the bulk of our electricity comes from hydropower.

I see. So the enviro commies have big money and influence and buy politicians. But gas, oil, and car companies just have plucky, honest individuals.

Lol.

 

[wilberforce15]

whats battery disposal do for our environment?

Nothing. Very soon they wont be disposed.

big enviro chinese commies who challenge our existence on every angle. Big enviro commies who bought out the biden family yes.
the gas, oil and car companies are out to make a profit but they don't own the bidens and what they do will actually help our country.

at some point somehow someway you libs have to stop appeasing the chinese at the cost of this country.

They don't own the bidens. But they do own the other side.

I'm about 10 miles to your right, politically.

 

[wilberforce15]

Don't care.

But disposal also isn't going to happen much. Because retired car batteries that have outlasted their car bodies will be used for grid storage. You and your kid will use the car. The grandkids will use the car battery as their house backup power.
