  1. EV fires don't just put YOUR house at risk. It puts houses in the neighborhood at risk.

  2. I'm tired of subsidizing rich people with my taxes.

  3. Gov: wood stove is a fire hazard Gov: please charge your incendiary bomb at home pretty sure EVs have burned more buildings this year than wood stoves.

  4. there is literally no known battery chemistry possible dense enough to power large airplanes.

  5.  @RichWithTech  and the rest burned the house down...
    16
  6. no used car market for EVs
    16
  7. not to mention the innocent pedestrian that got murdered via electrocution

  8. in the 1970s, Obamas future climate advisor advocated for the US and USSR nuking the polar caps to melt the ice/glaciers to prevent a "coming Ice Age".

  9. Why don't they tell them to charge their EVs using wind turbine incinerators? Then we can at least deal with the wind turbine waste and landfills at the same time.

  10. that's what socialism is. gov intereference and control of the markets.

  11.  @davidpearn5925  nice ad hominems.... what I've come to expect from EV fanatics.
    12
  12. socialism.....that leads to communism
    11
  13. 1) those who can afford an EV (and want one) already have one. 2) the fanboys who still want an EV, can't afford one, have no place to park it, and/or have no way to charge it at home.

  14.  @john1703  they are incendiary bombs

  15. LOL! Also, Petroleum Plastics: oil-based hydrocarbon material Soy Plastics: oil-based hydrocarbon material (that is also edible apparently)

  16. Yup! Even worse, Petroleum Plastics: oil-based hydrocarbon material Soy Plastics: oil-based hydrocarbon material (that is also edible apparently)

  17. a critical aspect of getting more public transit implemented, is that it needs to be reliable, consistent, and dependable. People need to know things will arrive and depart on time, and without fail. EV transit are not those things.

  18.  @thomasdragosr.841  and you know they'll use those cheap lamp cord types too, not the higher amp rated cords, with no grounding lug.

  19. Sweden, Duluth Minnesota, and more can't keep their bus routes open relying on EVs. They also have to use diesel heaters to keep them warm in winter. And the batteries are failing prematurely and not providing promised range. Many are getting rid of them. they are costing too much and not working.

  20. golf carts used lead acid batteries.

  21. and the more people upgrade their businesses, the higher the demand for electricity, and the lack of new powerplants means electric prices skyrockets, thus negating any benefits of low cost electricity while also further driving up inflation and cost of living for everyone else.

  22. people have no clue just how dangerous high voltage power is.

  23. meanwhile, lifetime emissions goes up by focusing on the tailpipe.

  24. exactly. Whether moving or non-moving, the more total points of failure you have, the higher statistical likelihood you'll get a failure. Every single cell within a battery is individual critical to the success of teh vehicle. I can't think of any one comparable component in an ICE car that is so critical to safety as a single cell of an EV battery. Any one cell goes up, you lose your car, possibly your home, possibly your life. If any one component fails on an ICE car, you just aren't going anywhere that day, or you pull to the side of the road and call a tow. And there are nowhere near to 7000 critical points of failure in a single ICE car, and that doesn't include an EVs other critical failure points like the brakes, tie rods, ball joints, wheel bearings, suspension arms, shocks and struts, swaybar, transmission, etc.

  25. Gov: wood stove is a fire hazard Gov: please charge your incendiary bomb at home pretty sure EVs have burned more buildings this year than wood stoves.

  26. but gov collets LESS overall, due to fewer people affording cars.

  27.  @diecastb  armature numbers. look at a typical rural bus route....
    5
  28. mandates aren't law. ignore them.

  29. EV busses were seeing batteries fail in as little as 2yrs. Just like how newer wind turbines are suddenly seeing their blades have to be replaced every 2-5yrs and thrown into landfills. keep in mind these blades are about as long as the wing of a 747 airliner.

  30.  @badchefi  "you can’t compare a hot water pipe with a photovoltaic cell." you absolutely CAN compare them. It's thermodynamics and physics. You have a certain square footage of solar energy you're trying to capture, and convert it into a form of energy output you can use. You compare teh total amount of sunlight hitting that surface, and teh square footage of area you have, and compare to how much usable energy in one form or another you get out of it, and then calculate the efficiency, as well as compare that usable energy to how much energy you need. Energy in, energy out, efficiency. Both are equivalent and valid ways of collecting and using solar energy. Relying on solar panels to heat your water adds inefficiencies to the system, as not only do you have solar panel inefficiencies (panels are typically no better than 22% efficient), but now you have to add the inefficiencies of the secondary hot water heating system. Whereas solar hot water systems can be 50-80% efficient.

  31. Why don't they tell them to charge their EVs using wind turbine incinerators? Then we can at least deal with the wind turbine waste and landfills at the same time.

  32. computing power alone for AI is straining the electrical grid, before even considering EV cars.

  33.  @mickjoebills  100% wrong. EVs are a problem, and charging "off hours" just makes "off hours" demand hours. Charging an EV consumes as much energy as an entire house. and if every EV is charging off hours, then that time becomes a new high demand time. EV's are charging off grid energy we don't have.

  35. travelling businessmen stopped using EVs, becasue it would cost their employers extra days of hotels, food, and lost productivity on the roadtrips waiting for cars to charge. One guy was telling how one of his 2-day trips now took 3-days due to all the extra hours of enroute charging to/from. So his employer stopped using EVs.

  36. let's see a raise of hands, Who wants to take their kids on an EV bus ride in London?

  37.  @mitchhedberg4415  helps if you didn't lie. trump isn't a traitor, baseless. Desantis never tried to run disney, simply removed their special socialist privileges that no other company was afforded.

  38. same for me

  39. how do you fire rate against a blast furnace and incendiary bomb?
    4
  40.  @paulwoods1950  fire codes wont stop an EV incendiary fire
    4
  41. renew the ENTIRE grid every 20yrs. New solar panels, new wind turbines, new batteries, etc. But coal, oil, and NG plants, as well as nuclear, last for many DECADES and produce FAR more reliable energy. And is half to 1/3 the cost.

  42.  @sailingaeolus  yeah, I saw that. disappointing. He's pandering, thinking that will attract younger people. Never works. Why people can't learn that is beyond me.

  43.  @JAF-pd9mw  I'm with you. I also don't want ICE cars with software or wireless connections to anything.
    4
  44. no, it's a high voltage hazard worse than a hair dryer in a bathtub
    4
  45. nothing is free. the rest of us pay for these rich people to get all that stuff.
    3
  46. why do I have to pay for rich people's EVs?

  47. 😆 right?

  48.  @alanb9337  that's a hybrid...just like a Prius, or a diesel train.

  49. Gov: wood stove is a fire hazard Gov: please charge your incendiary bomb at home, with a wood stove pretty sure EVs have burned more buildings this year than wood stoves.

  50.  @javelinXH992  "well if you capture and scrub the majority of the smoke and waste products then it isn’t a problem. " proving Coal, oil, gas, nuclear power is superior and sufficient.
