Default Re: A Funny thing has happened to EV’s

I just heard a report on the world news this morning saying 80% more of electric car problems were reported then of gasoline vehicles.
And I still don’t want one

Watching your Governor debate DeSantis, man he is a smooth lying commie joke, I would be embarrassed to call him Governor. LoL. Hannity has statistics and Newsom smiles and lies wow.

The batteries are touted to have triple the energy density of Tesla’s lithium-ion cells, significantly faster charging times and a safer, more sustainable design.

Where will the electricity come from to charge all those batteries? The batteries may be better but they still take the same amount of electricity to charge.

With these brain dead liberals it is coming from johnny kilowatts. It takes power to make power, wee are not at perpetual motion yet. There is a Polyethylene component in all batteries, including lithium, and Polyethylene is a hydrocarbon.

Cars made today have Polyethylene, it is called plastic and 70% of cars are plastic. HDPE is a hydrocarbon polymer prepared from ethylene/petroleum. Of coarse you knew that because you work for the oil companies. Johnny Kilowatt is working well in California, when you were out here and traveling west out of the valley, what did you see? You saw windminds and solar farms, well that is even larger now in fact, we shut down a nuke plant and California didn't even blink from the loss. California will figure it out not some backward state in the midwest.

My daughter has had a Tesla for two years and she lives in Kansas. It is an extended range model. I was a little concerned with charging costs but turned out the her monthly bill increased by $20. She charges it every night to 80%. This has convinced me to make a change to EV next time around.

Yeah, Newsom runs the 5th largest economy in the world and contributes 14.7% to this countries GDP. We don't ban books or attack minority groups. We won't talk about the farming we do here as opposed to Florida, California ranks number 1. There is no other state that I would rather live in. Newsom was right, neither he or Ron will be running in 2024.

Vogtle Unit 3 recently surpassed 100 days in service. It's the most advanced light-water reactor on the grid today and is the first new U.S. reactor to connect to the grid since 2016. Unit 4 is expected to come online in 2024! This tech has been used in Navy ship for over 70 years without incident.
