  2.  @martinricardo4503  I know, I am anti-forcing people to do things. I beleive incentives are ok, but gov should never Force us to do things we don't want to, don't agree with, etc. Forcing us is anti-democracy, anti-freedom, anti-free market. If something is truly better, people will choose it all on their onw.

  3. an SMR rector could generate 300MW, which would be enough for 22 such charging stations with 90 chargers each. So basically every town will need it's own nuclear power plant, not counting electricity demands for businesses, homes, home charging, commercial vehicle charging, farming equipment, etc.

  6.  @invalidaccount2315  the thought of software in my cars makes me sick. you can't fix software with a wrench. most people lack the DIY skills to fix software, but they can fix mechanicals. i don't want to be a slave to some company's software. nor have anyone getting remote data from my car, nor controlling my car remotely including software "updates" full of bugs.

  7.  @xpusostomos  because the cell failure rate is more like 1 in 1,000,000. But when a car has 5000+ cells per battery, that means that 1 in 200 to 1 in 100 cars could suffer a catastrophic fire just from manufacturing defect alone. Not even factoring in collision damage, corrosion, faulty charging station, faulty battery protection software, faulty controller circuitry, etc. And many EV home fires are a result of the chargers in the home being wired improperly leading to a fire.

  8. and how long would it take 40 cars to pass through a gas station? let's say a typical 8 pumps at 5min each, that's 160 cars per hour, or 25min to fuel up 40 cars at 100% capacity for 300-600mi useful range.

  9. the level of scientific illiteracy just shows how bad education has gotten in western nations. This is basic electricity math kids should have learned in middle school.

  14.  @johnchandler1687  correct, we were down to ~210ppm, and at 180ppm all plat life other than grasses begins to die. Historical levels of CO2 during the greatest periods of biodiversity on earth were around 4000ppm, and life thrived! Not only that, but Methane is another gas, but has little to no impact on our temps, as our sun doesn't emit enough light energy on the spectrum that methane absorbs. you could argue that temps increased ~0.8C since we've gone from 200ppm to 400ppm, but many things have also happened in that time so who is to say all of it is due to CO2. But due to CO2 having a logarithmic effect, to get to 1.6C warming (assuming it was all due to CO2 alone), we'd have to get to 800ppm, and to get to 2.4C warming, we'd then have to get to 1600ppm, and to get to 3.2C warming, we'd have to get to 3200ppm of CO2. And 3.2C warming (2.4C warmer than we are today) wouldn't even bother anything. In fact it would make more land usable and farmable.

  21. 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.

  23.  @williammeek4078  as I've debated with others multiple times before: if it works for YOU, Great! I'm happy for you. but that doesn't give you the right to force it on others. It I pay $12/month for insurance on my sedan, and at 20yrs old it still gets 44mpg, 36mpg on winter gas. I paid half what you did for my car. I spend about $1000-2000 per year on gas, but I drive more than you. replaced the tires once on my car for $400. Replaced all 4 shocks and struts myself in 1hr too, for the cost of parts. Oil changes cost $15 total and take me about 30min. Wipers cost about $30 every other year. Replaced a few light bulbs here and there (headlight, blinker, taillight,trunk light...) on a 20yr old car. total cost of ownership for me so far is about $23,000 over 2x as many years as you. and my previous car cost even less. ($2k to purchase, drove it for years at 36mpg, replaced a few things over the years including 2 sets of tires, battery, shocks, swaybar, ball joints, CV axles, gas was typically under $2/gal back then). Blew a head gasket, regret not putting a new/rebuilt engine in it as it would have been rather cheap ($3k for a 0mile engine at the time, and due to my upkeep the car was in great condition still). and my previous truck cost less too. (free truck due to being totaled in collisions 2x, got 27mpg, drove it for years with almost no maintenance, just an alternator, battery, and 2 tires on the rear, gas was as low as $0.85/gal back then). Sold it for $300 and it went through 2 more owners and nearly 10yrs more of driving.

  24. EVs still consume tires, lubricants, windshield washer fluid, wipers, coolant, cleaning agents/solvents, etc. They also generate heat. Nature doesn't generate heat like that. They're warming the air up.

  40.  @Audioremedy0785  cite sources then. 3-20% of 9bil people is a lot of cars. but still pales in comparison to ICE. and if sales are failing year after year, not growing, then the current market share of EV will decline going forward.

  41.  @Audioremedy0785  "as a quick little fact check, there are 7.9bn people in the world and last time I checked, not every one of them had cars. Most toddlers don’t." You're not very bright are you? By me rounding UP and assuming Everyone was in teh market, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. But now you're just making my case for me, and arguing against yourself. 1) still no source, just your word, and I asked you specifically for a source on that. Try again. 2) " If 98% of EV owners are converting from ICE cars as estimated), then sales can go down and their market share would still increase." you clearly have no idea how market share works. If people are switching to EV from ICE, then ICE market share is going down. How do you et rising demand for ICE? By having dropping demand for EV. 8 of those EV sales in your example are the same people buying another EV. so you're more like 88/12 with dropping EV demand. 10 people buy EVs, then 10 more buy EVs while 4 switch back to ICE. EVs last about 2-6yrs tops, and most well off people who understand money know that keeping an EV longer than 2yrs costs them dearly in depreciation. And the insurance for EVs is far higher too. "There are some brilliant economics websites aimed at kids online that you could learn a lot from " Well, that explains a lot. Now I know where you got your ideas from.... Maybe when you're older, all grown up, consuming adult content, and actually own a car, we can have this debate again.

  42.  @Luka_3D  prices are dropping, due to depreciation an lack of demand for used EVs. Ford is losing money with every new EV sale. Funny how people can ignore the facts and twist them to suite their narrative. too bad you failed to provide any evidence to support your claims, as you cry about people not providing sources to your satisfaction. you can go check the articles he shares.

  43. and even then, what good would it do? You'd have to tear the vehicle down to repair or replace it. Most EVs the battery is integral to the chassis.

  44. EV batteries are racking up a body count higher than all nuclear energy combined.

  45. I love it, scams like this will only turn people away from EVs all the more. I'm not anti-EV, just anti-gov-enforced-EV anything. the climate alarmism is a scam.
