The fool actually thinks that it conveys having the upper hand or something. All I see is "tard"

While the total emissions including manufacture is vitally important, it is as important to be on the path that
indicates we are trying to get rid of nasty pollution and carbon.

Republican philosphy is dont do anything about any problem.

I worked for a food service company and I can verify we've put 800+ miles on our trucks in a day. With all the starting and stopping, hills, etc, just how can any portable battery handle that?

And how could we go to the moon, they said. Thanks for proving my point. Did your trucks use NG? That's very doable.

Didn't those rocket boosters use quite a bit of fuel?
I wouldn't want to drive that many miles running on NG, there are too many idiots on the road. An accident would be catastrophic.

Yup. And, it takes coal (which they hate) to make electricity. LOL!!! The left is so silly. :rofl2:

Coal use in this country for electricity is falling.
Even your article puts it at 40%, but in this country it is 30% and dropping fast.
The problem with your logic though is a misunderstanding of the difference between electric motors and internal combustion engines. ICEs are 20% efficient (diesels 30%) vs large electric motors at 92% so even accounting for generating inefficiencies and line loss, an electric car is still more efficient.

Somehow you ignore the incredible energy density of gasoline?

Care to restate that?
In order for that to be plausible you would need to drive 100 miles per hour for 8 hours, no lunch, no gas fills and certainly no time for delivering anything.

All one has to do is read the comments following the linked article to see it entirely debunked...but a carbon fuel shill has to try right Tom?

Here is the simple fact of the matter: each EV hooked up to the grid makes the grid smarter and stronger.

Sorry, but I just don't believe it. Just as I don't believe many of the claims made by enviro-nuts. You sadly are far more credulous and buy into any old crap because you're a hacktivist.

It can't, just as no trucks could possibly work either, the batteries would be enormous.

Nope. We went to Virginia, 300+ miles one way, made 18 stops and drove back, sometimes putting in 18 hrs. a day.

Naturally Runeatic ignore the weight of the batteries. Typically a Tesla S is around 500 kgs

That amount of driving has been illegal for almost 40 years ...whether you are lying or not doesn't even matter since;
1. it could never happen legally
2. it isn't local delivery, it is long haul

Obviously, you can't comprehend a simple sentence. WE as there were two of us, and for delivery drivers, the daily limit is 14 hours. Look it up!
