Biden: this car will save you $80 per month. Never buy gas again!
Me: who pays for the electricity and the charging build out at my home?
Here's the skinny on Electric Vehicles (EVs):
Starting price is about $55 thousand. The range for a brand new fully charged battery is 300 miles. After the first charge the mileage will lessen with every charge. The frequency of charging the battery along with the amount of time to charge increases as time goes on.
An Electric Vehicle (EV) will lose about 50% of their power in freezing temperatures.
Fast charging an EV ( about 30 to 50 minutes) is BAD for the battery and will shorten its life.
Charging on 120 volt takes THREE DAYS!!!
Charging on 1220 Volt takes all night.
EV manufacturers say to not leave your EV in the sun all day as heat is bad for the battery( yes they are that fragile ).
Well informed people know that the rare earth metals necessary to build EVs come at 90% from China which means China holds the battery industry by the balls.
Lithium is a comparatively rare element, although it is found in many rocks and some brines, but always in very low concentrations. The lithium extraction process uses a lot of water—approximately 500,000 gallons per metric ton of lithium. It takes between 12 and 18 months of an evaporation process, the mixture is filtered sufficiently that lithium carbonate can be extracted. Lithium prices doubled between 2016 and 2018 due to exponentially increasing demand.
Most cobalt or lithium mines are in poor nations where workers are underpaid and mistreated PLUS mining for those uses billions of gallons of water that is then contaminated and rejected in the environment (so much for pollution!).
During the Obama-Biden administration, hydraulic fracturing was accused of causing a number of environmental problems—faucets on fire, contamination of drinking water, etc.—but the administration’s own Environmental Protection Agency could not validate those accusations. Mining and processing of lithium, however, turns out to be far more environmentally harmful than what turned out to be the unfounded issues with fracking.
Lithium-ion batteries can go into a “thermal runaway” due to a production error or damage. It is an irreversible process in which the battery will ignite, resulting in the release of toxic gases, flash flames and some explosions. Due to the increase in the number of incidents involving lithium-ion batteries, insurers are increasing premiums and asking companies to take adequate security measures. In EVs, think of the vehicle accidents and the danger. Know that Lithium battery fires and accidents are on the rise and present risks. Even disposal of Lithium batteries have caused a number of fires and explosions in consumer products and at recycling plants in the U.S.
It's a big con game to end private ownership of automobiles and to force the public to take mass transportation. This will be forced on us just like the face masks and 'COVID' vaxx. Most people will not be able to afford or depend on EVs.
It's also a way to force people to move into the cities. No way I could live where I do with an electric car. (which I couldn't afford anyways). In the boonies. Two hour commute round trip for work. No method for charging.
And the final nail in the coffin for family farms, or any privately owned corporate farms. Who will be able to afford to 'electrify' all of the farm vehicles. What crap performance would they get? More food shortages ahead.
God forbid all of the emergency vehicles go electric. Just when you need a fire truck or ambulance....
Police car will stay gas powered of course.
There's a charging thing at the local mall... nearby there's a storage shed.... where there is a sound coming from it that sounds a lot like a gas powered generator....
Man. Finally one that understand the big pictures and can actually put it down well. Thank you
Excellent summary! Too bad EVERY person in U.S. can't be made to read it! One additional bit of information would be to include how much fossil fuel is burned to create the electricity required for a single charge.
I found this on oilprice.com "An electric automobile will convert 5-10 percent of the energy in natural gas into motion. A normal vehicle will convert 20-30 percent of the energy in gasoline into motion. That's 3 or 4 times more energy recovered with an internal combustion vehicle than an electric vehicle."
I don't know if they referenced natural gas instead of petroleum to exaggerate the difference; it would be nice to relate it to petroleum rather than natural gas since gasoline is made from petroleum.
Brilliant comment, thanks for this explanation!
Seriously. I always ask my friends how much does it cost to charge the car….
blank stare “dunno”
How do you know you’re saving money then??
"I'm saving the planet, bigot"
Ow, you got me. Better be a bigot than a retard. 🤪
In response to the lost gas taxes Illinois simply makes EVs pay several times more in annual registration fees. I saw adoption of Teslas slow way down after that.
Exactly, electricity is generated from fossil fuels. Biden's retarded administration will just shift us from worrying about the price per gal if gas to the price per kilowatt hour if they get their way. None of this is about the environment. It's about pushing the masses into destitution so they are easier to control and to give up power. I want to scream that they have commandeered the term "energy independence". These people are EVIL!!
