Reality check on electric cars

Electric-vehicle charging stations could use as much power as a small town by 2035

A boom in electric cars and trucks will require big upgrades to charging infrastructure.
A new study suggests that by 2035 some stations will need to provide as much power as a small town.
As soon as 2030, a typical charging station's peak energy usage could rival that of a sports arena.

It's already starting to fall apart.

Tesla is losing money because of the increasing costs of materials (such as lithium, shipping costs, fuel to run the plant, etc.).
Toyota (the largest car manufacturer in the world) has announced they are abandoning EVs.
The government of the SDTC is issuing edicts that people cannot charge their EVs due to the poor condition of their power grid there, which must also support HVAC requirements, highest load in the summer.
The EU is saying the same thing to their EV owners due to lack of available power during the winter months.

And this is with less than 1% of the cars on the road being an EV.

You're welcome, festering cunthole!

I understand the world needs to pay you attention all the time. So you post shit all the time and when people respond you simply thank them.

You are a LOT like your favorite man on earth, Donald J. Trump.

Here's a picture for you to fap to:

You sure seem to pay inordinate attention to me. Thanks, I am flattered

Rightys can sure post outrageous things that are in right-wing news and claim them to be true. There are 3 million EVs in America and the blackouts that they are causing are terrible. We upgrade our electric system constantly due to population increase and the power that modern appliances require.

Not in the SDTC. Not in the SOTNY. Not in the EU. In all these places, they are REDUCING power generating capacity.

Authentic reproduction? Like being a semi-virgin.

Originals go for seven figures, Nordy, and they're collected and displayed, not driven. Most of them got intimate with bridge abutments and served as stairways to heaven.
[Try to insure a dangerous car worth a couple of million dollars.]
Arby probably has a quarter-million invested in his reproduction, and he can actually drive it.
 
What is there about rightys who cannot understand simple logic? An incident, however apocryphal, does not prove the case. That garbage truck proves that truck broke down, assuming it is real. It says nothing about electric trucks in general. Rightys have the insane idea that manufacturers of EVs have done no work. GM just started building them, doing no studies and no testing.
If you rightys find those blurbs compelling and proof, then I feel sorry for you.
The photos of a truck saying it is a prius? They wish, Priuses have been extremely reliable and valuable rides. Do you really think that said something, anything?

The number one, irrefutable, argument against EV's is that they cannot, and never have been, competitive in an open marketplace. That is, without government interference in the market by offering bribes (aka subsidies) to buy one, and putting out totalitarian edicts that ban all alternatives, EV's don't do well in sales. People just don't want them.

Just like petroleum, eh? Petroleum gets MASSIVE subsidies from the US Government and they are supposedly "profitable".

Let's do a clean sweep: let's eliminate ALL SUBSIDIES (direct and indirect) from petroleum companies and see how it all works out.

No, the fossil fuel industry doesn't, and you are just repeating a lie promulgated by the radical Left environmentalist front, who themselves are huge whopping liars.

You should note how small a part of GDP the US subsidies are, and that most of those are actually grants and other contracts into things like R&D for government like the military and not just direct cash infusions--unlike the solar and wind industry that has to be propped up with huge cash infusions just to stay afloat.
