Electric Car thread

[None]

Any E vehicle.

But not every EV can reduce traffic congestion.
Single occupant large EV like car/truck just take up more space on the road; which in term increase congestion & travel time; reduce battery range.
I think they should pay more for the infrastructure rebuild.

I can't quite wrap my brain around how chargeable roads could even be a possibility.

Future CAN BE free energy everywhere.

I wasn't passing judgement on pricing structure. Just that it should be paid for be EV users, not Federal dollars.

If one doesn't use, shouldn't have to contribute. Personally would never live where traffic congestion is a thing. Just traveled through Worcester and outskirts of Boston on Friday starting at 2PM. We can not figure out why anyone would live through that mess on a daily basis.

Surprised CA is not listed in that AAA article. CA has to have the most EV's in the nation one would think...

I can only imagine what the carbon footprint is for that thing and the diesel generator that supplies the juice.

That must be a monster generator... what voltage do EVs run at?

Sustainable future is all about thinking & doing beyond yourself.
Just because you don't use it or personally don't choose to live where traffic congestion is a thing, doesn't mean the majority of human population can have that luxury.
Just because you cannot figure out something, doesn't mean others could not figure it out.

Philosophicaly i tend to agree with @Roamers, that people who don't use the roads shouldn't pay for them.
But then you have schools that childless people still pay for. It all begins to sound like Johnny Winter's song Tax Man ... "if you take a walk, I'll tax your feet " ...

What Voltage Do Electric Vehicles Run On?

Most EVs operate at a voltage of 400 (400V). But a number of producers and their component suppliers are now gearing up to introduce 800V systems.

For clarity, I am only talking about not using federal dollars. State and local dollars should be used. If I don't like the way state and local dollars are being used, I can move.

The next comment I can predict is "if I don't like the way federal dollars are spent, I should move." So in early response, "The federal government should not be involved in any activity the favors or disfavors anf perso, group, community, state, etc."

Actually, you don't have to move; you can run for office and vote how our federal dollars should be used.

Should it be spent to imprison the traitors from Jan 6 who think democracy don't exist in our country and demand special diet & pillow while in prison, when colored folks are getting killed by police even before arrest is made or just knocked on the wrong door and have to used federal dollars to pay for lawsuits & settlements?

I think federal dollar for infrastructure that I don't use but can others can benefit is still a better deal.

Electric cars are utterly stupid . Dumb Dumb Dumb . Far more damage to the environment and animal habitats then oil will ever be . They are killing the planet and telling you they are saving it . What a Deception for the crowd to follow . If this offends you ? Good maybe it will wake you up .

 

[Art Deco]

600-800 Volts?( do not meddle with them at home- these packs could literally explode you)

No poking around with a screwdriver as @6zfshdb puts it.

LOL Why expose yourself to that > I wonder how many EV's explode yearly they don't report ? Probably a bunch

 

[Zekeer]

Doesn't bother me any still want one.I understand it is saving nothing but aggrevation,I depise servicing ICE vehicles, however there is a way to extend oil change intrevals( to at least 10k) "Amsoil" a oil anlysis 250 K miles on a Chevy 4 cyl sez so and the thing still runs fine, the moral is do not overmaintain I usd to be guilty of that now I try run conventinal oil at least 5K. There a couple things that one should service at least during vehicle life brake fluid( this applies to EVs as well) and the transmission fluid, looked at a light diesel service pack the other day and it was $99 not counting the fluids. Do not understand the diesel "mystique' for light trucks, apparently they are expensive to service and apparently you cant keep a muffler on them. I got so sick of the racket from 4BTs and 6BTs when I did construction their noise makes me sick, make mine quiet, make it electric-Hope Dr.Greer is right a massive paradigm shift in the next few years( my Ebike may run on zero point energy-its a thing non believers)

The problem is some EV are fine . They want it all electric . They are even trying to change building codes that require electric stoves . We happen to like electric stoves . Easier to clean and only one coil to replace . If it even needs it . It's a mandatory thing . All being crammed down our throats over a lie . What they are really saying when they say Carbon emissions need to disappear . They are talking about life itself . Every person and every animal that breaths -emits CO2 . The very thing they say is killing earth . It's just BS , that the average person doesn't stop to think about . The Elitist's want us dead . They refer to us as useless eaters . Why do you think they are pushing this race crap. You reduce a people to race = Elimination of that race . That's what Stalin , Mau, Hitler's , Nero , Mohamamd and other's like them did . Anyone speaking against this is at risk .

Now THIS is a monster generator:

It's a power ship capable of producing 470 mega watts!

Just think of the size of the extension cord they need to plug it in!

You should look for more sound sources of informations, like Actual scientific sources that can clarify for you the details you are clearly missing by sticking to conspiracy theory circles.....

 

[BigNerd]

EVs are not just about ecology... they are quieter, cooler, roomier and less maintenence.

Don't think I'll ever go back to ICE for the inconvenience alone.

Ok, glad I found the GBR forum, as in GasBikeReview.com.

I was scared there for a minute as I need help servicing the 2-stoke engine on my gas-powered bicycle. Thought about an electric bicycle, but that battery manufacturing does so much damage to the environment and besides, I need something loud so pedestrians on the bike path get out of my way.
