I'm thinking Alex Jones ISN'T the most reliable source anymore. And 9 minutes to put that much juice into a car size battery pack? Your typical 200 amp service to the house probably isn't going to cut it, and the EMF field around the wiring alone with that much current flying would probably create a host of issues including localized heating.
How high of voltage you want to go (or want to be sitting on)? Most wiring is only rated to 600V. I realize the packs are up around 800V now, but if you get in a crash there could be a chance of creating a wormhole at some point.
I was thinking the same thing, being capable of storing the juice is one thing, getting the juice in there is another. You can’t put a substation up at every charging spot. The grid is already failing on hot summer days, now think of a place like Southern California plugging in eight million cars a day. It would be amazing for off grid power though. They’re even pushing electric semi-trucks, one Pilot would take down the power grid in four states lol. And what’s the temperature operating range? Not to mention they are passing laws that allow the state to suck the power out of your car and put it back into the grid.
Are youbaware how much silver is available per person on the planet or gold. There's less than half an oz of gold available for each person. I've over 24ozs. Silver there is less than 30 ozs available per person. I have over 2k ozs. Solar alone is 180 million ozs behind in what they need. Lmao. As long as industrial need is there the price will be artificially suppressed regardless of demand. One tomahawk takes over 5 kilos. They aren't going to pay 2k an oz for that. Industrial silver can handle maybe 60 an oz before the things it is used in become unaffordable.
I've heard speculations between $1000-2500+ and even upwards to $5000 per troy ounce. This was based off of many countries going back to the gold standard, including the US. This will add more bite to it, so I lean more towards the middle of this now.
Ive finally convinced my wife to let me buy silver for the kids savings accounts. But she'd prefer I don't buy bullion, to avoid capital gains max tax rate when it's eventually sold. Is there a trustworthy silver stock to buy? Redacted mentioned AGMR, but I wanted to ask around. Should I invest in a silver mining company or futures or what? Ty
My go to is SDBullion.com. Good range of products at lower than most other sites. It’s usually a toss up between price and choice. The sites with the biggest selection carry the higher prices and the lowest priced sites carry the lowest selection. SD is at the sweet spot for both in my opinion.
Edit: If selection is a higher priority then go to APMEX.
APMEX is great for finding something specific but carries higher prices. I use them when I am looking for something specific but not often for stacking. Even their sale items are often higher than other sites like SD Bullion.
Don’t get me wrong, APMEX is a top tier dealer but you pay for that as well. SD feels more like an online coin shop to me and the prices reflect that also. Pay attention to the difference in metal price tickers on the different sites. They all base their prices on their own ticker price and they vary.
Yeah, I got the Bullion Card from APMEX with 0APR and a 200-buck welcome bonus and bought 1 oz of gold, then used the welcome bonus and points to buy silver rounds. Definitely not the cheapest site. I bought all the various new customer deals from sites like SD Bullion, and got 1 oz of gold at spot from them.
The best deals I have found has been from Coinhuskers who has a brick-and-mortar store, but sells primarily via youtube. 3 orders from them and no problems, fast shipping and great packaging.
Dude she doesn't know what she's talking about. You need possession of precious metal. Bullion is an affordable, accurate, and convenient format to stack. Buy now and accept her thanks later.
I'd stay clear of anything paper based. If you cannot hold it in your hands, do you really own it? And the Comex market is very manipulated, and they've been caught having 100x+ paper shares to what they're supposed to have, a 1:1 ratio. They're the Wall Street of PMs.
As others have said, any large online bullion dealer is good, SD, APMEX, etc... just make sure you're buying from a reputable source that guarantees tested metals. I personally buy local, but that may not be viable depending on where you live.
No taxes on physical PMs here, purchase or resell, minus the "spot tax" of course. And it's deemed legal tender so there's no such thing as capital gains on it.
If that were my situation, I would buy into silver mining. But I'm not one of these precious metals guys. I like stocks, stonks, bitcoin, and real estate.
Home wire gauge will be 20A typical. For a charging station it is installed with different specifications, possibly direct to the meter? Not sure. I don't have one but yeah, the heat from the resistance in the metal is key. Silver is more conductive than copper but not by much. I'd like to see the specifications on this battery. Battery tech is bound to get better. Regardless the demand for metals will simply increase until we discover a way to store energy without metal.
The amount of silver per 1,000-mile battery is the most important thing to consider. Silver is the #1 Conductor of Electricity, but if the battery weighs in at 500 Lbs of silver. Who could buy a car?
If I was going to design an electric car “all obvious problems aside”, I would have hot swap batteries. You would lease a battery and when it ran low you pull onto a platform, the discharged battery is replaced from the bottom and another is installed robotically. Now onto fixing the 1634 other problems that make this a pipe dream.

There you go bringing facts into the fantasy...
My "Alex Jones was right" jar is full to the max. I'll happily consider what he says.
Higher voltages bro. Not to complicated for us EEs to figure out.

silver will cause a wound to clot, very very fast
collodial silver, chelated silver, hell at this point id assume a silver bar would stop the bleeding too
Silver Tampons in the boys' bathrooms Incoming...
Nutrasporin. Superior to Neosporin
I have 5kg pure silver. Would be nice to see what happens if it goes through the roof.
How will anyone afford a car at those prices.
Because it's mostly nonsense. We produced over 3x as much silver globally between 2000-2020 as between 1900 and 2000.
Are youbaware how much silver is available per person on the planet or gold. There's less than half an oz of gold available for each person. I've over 24ozs.

Every Tesla uses about a kilo of silver already guys.
How high is the roof?

APMEX offers a CC that comes with a Welcome Bonus, 0% APR for a year, and gives the CC upcharge of 4% back towards future purchases.

Just because bullion is in the name doesn’t mean that’s all they sell. Do you even metal?
Physical silver only. No stocks
I'd stay clear of anything paper based. If you cannot hold it in your hands, do you really own it? And the Comex market is very manipulated, and they've been caught having 100x+ paper shares to what they're supposed to have, a 1:1 ratio. They're the Wall Street of PMs.
As others have said, any large online bullion dealer is good, SD, APMEX, etc... just make sure you're buying from a reputable source that guarantees tested metals. I personally buy local, but that may not be viable depending on where you live.
I wonder how many COMEX paper options are used in each battery? That would save a lot of weight.
So all of your precious metals investments are bullion? 27% Capital gains tax be damned?
No taxes on physical PMs here, purchase or resell, minus the "spot tax" of course. And it's deemed legal tender so there's no such thing as capital gains on it.
Oh is yours one of the states that just updated its PM laws?
If that were my situation, I would buy into silver mining. But I'm not one of these precious metals guys. I like stocks, stonks, bitcoin, and real estate.
What is the stock equivalent of real estate? Is there a publicly traded land developer you invest in? Or are you buying homes outright?
I had heard three years ago for silver to possibly reach $2000- $4500.
yes... and won't the roof leak if the silver goes through it??
the amperage needed to charge a car in 9 minutes is outrageously high, it'll melt the current copper wires in your house.
Home wire gauge will be 20A typical. For a charging station it is installed with different specifications, possibly direct to the meter? Not sure. I don't have one but yeah, the heat from the resistance in the metal is key. Silver is more conductive than copper but not by much. I'd like to see the specifications on this battery.

We are getting into solid copper bus bar territory.

Making fuel out of a currency seems silly af
Yes it does. Silver should be used as money backing. Not as wiring
100 percent it's stupid. Fossil fuels are still our best bet. We have tech to make the fuel go much further than currently allowed.
That's exactly why they'll supress the price of silver or it won't be affordable. Same as solar panels.
