War on Diesel?

History will also prove, every time fuel cost go up, they never return.

I have no idea how an electric car is "Green" minded.
IMO, it rapes the earth in a most horribly way mining for battery chemicals.
Requires the same plastic, rubber, carpeting, insulation, and more that are petroleum based.
Still not much is recyclable.

It's a wraith, and still counter to the E cause.

Why is this forced on people who don't want it or can not afford it.

I have yet to hear anyone say the cost to charge one of those big EV batteries at home or on the road. It must "FREE", right? You just plug in to a charging station and 10/12 hrs. later you're ready to go another 200/250 miles! So, a 1000-mile trip only takes 4/5 days, and 3/4 motel stays. A lot of unnecessary time and expense plus the charging fees. So, you burn up lots of vacation time just driving. How fun would that be?

I m not a big fan of EV but in all fairness there are now fast charging stations that will recharge EVs in about 30’ so you can go on with your trip. Still takes much longer than filling up a tank…

Watched a video of two young ladies try to make it from Texas, a few states north and back over a weekend.
What a calamity. Can you imagine stopping to charge and waiting 2-4 hours for a full charge? They had to take some partial charges so to keep on the road.
They spent many hours of their trip just sitting and waiting for a charge.
Just back in time for one of the girls to walk into work, with road fiz and rage.

Free??
Texas will be enduring rolling brown outs again this summer.
The electric grids and infrastructure can not deal with what there is now. Yea, go ahead and plug in just another 100 cars in Texas.
Lets see who your understanding neighbors, really are when their home A/C cycles off...

Just read that Tesla /supercharging can get 80% in 30 to 45 minutes. Better but still inconvenient.

I wonder if that fast charging requires 480V. If so most homes will not have that available.

Tesla says:
level 1@ 120v
level2@ 24ov
level3@ 408v fast charging .....what!
Few residential houses have 408 volt service. It would be expensive for that $ervice if available, plus the fast charger system installed.
Those Pro- EV people don't talk about the cost of maintaining an EV or even the price of the auto....

I do not know the Amp requirement for a Tesla, Anybody have that figure?

My first thoughts;
Most homes are wired for 100 Amp service. Larger homes can have 200Amp service.
The monster of a transformer to deliver a 408V charge AND the required amperage for the batteries to charge in a quick fashion, can not happen at a regular home.

Tesla says 250 kw max rate for fast charge. Most residential would not have enough capacity. Tesla also said electric is cheaper than gas. lol
They did not show any figures to support that. The cost to upgrade house amperage plus the fast charge system would be a substantial investment.

200A leaves nothing for the house.

Not a problem at only $13k to $20k to replace battery....

Yeah, this whole EV transformation is deceptive at the very least. I have not even ridden in an electric car but think it might be a quite smooth experience but have no plans to give up our gas burners at this time. It is a pipe dream for many who think it will save the world. According to experts there is so much infrastructure upgrading to be done before any real advancement of EV's, not to mention mfg and distribution. Plus, they aren't cheap. This whole oil price thing belongs to Biden and doubt he will survive politically. He forgot nobody likes high gas prices and inflation. What were he and the Squad thinking???
