pipedreams Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 "The video, posted on Facebook by Texas resident Candace Metz on Sunday, appears to show more than a dozen Tesla vehicles wrapped around a parking lot near Interstate 10 in Louisiana, just off Prien Lake, Road in Lake Charles. "Curious, I pulled over and asked the guy how long it took to charge — he said normally 30 min[utes] but these stations are running slow due to demand so it’s over an hour per car," she continued, adding, "Take a look at this line ... Each car is over an hour to charge."" https://www.theblaze.com/news/video-line-of-teslas-wait-to-charge?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20220316Trending-Teslas&utm_term=ACTIVE LIST - TheBlaze Breaking News "The next closest Supercharger station is more than 100 miles away in Alexandria, though a few less-efficient Destination Charging stations are available nearby. However, Destination chargers only provide for "up to 44 miles of range per hour charged." However, with the average cost of a new electric vehicle at more than $55,000 and videos like this one cropping up, that may be a tough sell." 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 There is no infrastructure to handle electric cars. And no plan to build it. Not even getting into the lack of power generation needed to replace gas with electricity to Run millions of card. Just the local hard wire required to do it. Take my neighborhood. Underground high voltage cables come from substations to transformers in the neighborhood then run 240V to each house. This system is about 40 years old and is fine for now but is inadequate to charge hundreds of cars simultaneously. It just won’t handle the amount of electricity required. It all needs to be replaced. Everywhere. And no one in government is talking about it or has a plan to do it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the logical progression from afflicting commercial air travel with TSA and trying to afflict intercity buses and Amtrak and even subways with TSA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what "they" want. Take away your freedom of movement, or pricing it out of your reach. Make ya take "Mass" transport. Trains and buses. Notice they aren't saying ANYTHING about Long haul TRUCKS, or Airplanes?? They KNOW it's impossible!!! Besides, how do ya fight a war with electric tanks and APC's??? It's ALL complete bullshit. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true, but if you think Biden and Harris thought it (or anything) up you're mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I’m just waiting to hear them howl when they finally get hit with road usage taxes. They are not paying taxes on fuel to build and maintain roads. St some point they will need to pay their fair share. And what about recycling fees for those toxic batteries? Or will they expect to just burry them like turbine blades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to cost even more to drive an internal combustion engine vehicle to make up for the electric ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 This article was published: Dec. 30, 2019 New or higher registration fees go into effect Wednesday for electric vehicle owners in at least eight states. For the first time, a majority of U.S. states will impose special fees on gas-free cars, SUVs and trucks — a significant milestone as the trend toward green technology intersects with the mounting need to pay for upgrades and repairs to the nation’s infrastructure. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/states-charge-more-for-electric-cars-as-new-laws-take-effect-2019-12-30 Other states with new or higher electric vehicle fees taking effect in 2020 include Iowa, Oregon and Utah. California, which accounts for nearly half of all electric vehicle sales in the U.S., is to collect a $100 fee on new “zero-emission” vehicles starting July 1.

Utah has a preliminary plan to road tax electric cars based on what similar gas vehicles pay per mile. No additional tax on gas cars. I can really see it going the other way in application though. Who knows what the feds will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
