pipedreams Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 "It’s all about the environment, America. In the eyes of the “climate change” obsessed, Green New Deal left, that is. Hence, Joe Biden and Democrats continue to lecture everyday Americans about the nirvana of electric vehicles (EV) — Americans who remain outraged over Biden’s skyrocketing gas prices." https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2022/07/13/two-new-studies-drain-the-juice-out-of-bidens-electric-vehicle-schtick-n593845 https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/aer.20150897 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 An important feature of the electric vehicle to some is that it greatly reduces people’s ability to travel. Gasoline vehicle will go 400 or so miles between fill ups and a fill up takes 15 minutes or so. Thus an 800 mile 12 hour day is doable. Bristol to Memphis, 500 miles, is 7-1/2 hours Electric vehicle may go 250 or so miles between charges and a full charge may take several hours. A 12 hour day might cover 400 miles. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 My F150 will do 700 miles on a fill up. I have driven the Alcan Hwy from Portland to past Anchorage in 40 hours give or take a few several times. Not only would that be unpossible in an EV, I'm certain there are places on that route where charging just isn't going to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norton Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The radical environmentalist's consist of a number of groups. One group consists of those who think they are smarter then everyone in the room. One is the group who genuinely care about the planet to the point they worship it. Another is in love with the idea of mass transit, but they need everyone to help pay for it. Another are genuine freedom haters, who want to put people in boxes and make then stay put. Another are the people who just want to be against everything. Generally they are losers in life's lottery. The uber wealthy, who desire power over people more then even more money. And of course those who can't wait to see America and Americans brought to their knees. They want to limit travel and freedom and the American way of life. What better way to do it then destroy the engine of Capitalism. Oil. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
