pipedreams Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Sound like cash for clunkers................ Now who in a disadvantaged community will need a EV charging station! "White House spokesperson Jen Psaki announced Monday that the Biden administration is drafting plans to place half a million electric vehicle charging stations in “rural and disadvantaged communities,” and also apparently hopes to run fleets of tens of thousands of “electric school buses” in inner cities. The announcement has been met with incredulity and a fair of mockery online." https://nationalfile.com/psaki-mocked-after-announcing-bidens-plan-to-place-500000-tesla-charging-stations-in-disadvantaged-communities/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rellik Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Poor Jen is in the unenviable position of being Joe's turd polisher. But then again, she gets paid A LOT. To hell with her. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The big environmental crisis looming on the horizon will be lithium mining and recycling/disposal of lithium batteries. The powers that be didn’t think this through. Just going for short term profit. In a past career I was an electrochemical technician. I designed and built batteries. Lithium is bad stuff. Screw em. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does a Prius charge the same way - voltage, plug, ground - as a Tesla? Ate supper at a restaurant on Skyline Drive last week. A two car charging station had two Teslas plugged in. Wonder if taxpayers bought the electricity for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect many bidnesses are installing charging stations to attract patrons. Once the new wears off they'll probably start charging for charging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 E-Car drivers are getting pissed. Free charging is going away. Paid charge stations are charging more and extra fees for fast charging. And biggest of all they are starting to get hit with road fees because they don’t pay gas taxes. Many thought they would drive on the roads for free while fuel users would foot the bill. 2D2E8EA7-0628-4C93-857B-81A8C80D59E7.webp 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Think blizzard. Heavy snowstorm. Even sunny California has those. Then recall that California is aggressively pushing to eliminate internal combustion vehicles. Now, it is cold and dark on the road and many vehicles are stranded - some have been for hours. Batteries in those Teslas are dead or dying with no way to charge them and people inside are getting cold - very cold. All the emergency vehicles are also battery powered. Pretty much the northern half of the lower 48 routinely has serious snow issues as well. Solar cells don’t work very well under a few inches of snow. What about windmills? Will blizzard conditions shut them down… say by covering blades with ice? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
