Reality check on electric cars

[LurchAddams]

They are not a fire hazard. They catch fire at 20 percent of the rate of ICEs. Norway's government is pleased with the transition. They hope more will take public transportation. Fewer vehicles would be beneficial.

No, he's right. I've heard there have been several Teslas on fire recently!

Elon Musk will have this and the next generation flying around in spaceships to get wherever they want to go.

Sounds like you've already been whisked away on one of them!

Electric cars will have more people flying.

Too bad we have such primitive rail compared to the rest of the world
because that would flourish too.

Electric cars will be great for local travel.
Plug them in right in your garage every night.

Don't try to drive from Boston to Miami, though, because on-road charging will be a nightmare.

ICE cars don't suck by the way.
Bentley, Rolls, and Ferrari still make some pretty decent stuff.
Most of us just can't afford it unless we were willing to live in it, though.

BYD, the Chinese maker has 5 minute charging. The snapshot of EV evolution is short thinking. They will replace ICEs.

France's rail system is completely dead, along with their electrical system.
EV's suck for local travel too.

It's the taxes, insurance, and the limitations of local travel. Their extra weight means they are banned from some garages in the city.

Not possible, Sybil.

The EV market is collapsing. People want to buy gasoline cars.

Ahhh, here's where you are wrong: gasoline is affordable precisely because the TRUE COST of using it as a transportation fuel is not borne by those who are using it as a transportation fuel.

Many things are like this in the world but fossil fuels are top among them. The true cost in terms of public health and environmental damage PLUS the HUGE subsidies oil companies get make gasoline unnaturally cheap. It is not being sold at its true cost.

So the error in your meme rests in the assumptions at its heart.

Yes it is, Dimlight. There are also hefty taxes on gasoline.

Many things are like this in the world but fossil fuels are top among them.

Fossils aren't use for fuel, Dimlight. Fossils don't burn.

The true cost in terms of public health and environmental damage

What 'cost of public health'????
What 'cost of environmental damage'???

Void argument fallacy. Scripture right out of the Church of Green.

PLUS the HUGE subsidies oil companies get make gasoline unnaturally cheap.

They don't get subsidies to make gasoline, Dimlight.

It is not being sold at its true cost.

It's sold for higher, due to taxes.

So the error in your meme rests in the assumptions at its heart.

Void conclusion. No valid predicate presented.
