THE HERO WE DONT DESERVE BUT NEED

I always think about the massive upgrade/overhaul of the electrical infrastructure that would be required if there were hundreds of millions of these things on the road.

​@@CognitiveDissident.Thats why getting into hyper-efficiency is the way of the future for commuters. Once you can break 300EMPG (tesla are 80empg and Aptera I'd 350 empg) you finally are in the realm of being able to charge your car strictly on roof solar. Why not cover a Tesla in solar power? Because you'd be lucky to get 5 miles a day on over $1,000 of solar equipment. But cars like Aptera can get 40 miles a day from the sun, not because their solar is amazing (it's only like 700 watts) but because they use the energy the sun created so efficiently.

​@Anthony Diaz Exactly a brilliant business model. Make a vehicle that cost 3 times as much as a traditional gas car and then make it cost the same to fill at the pump. As long as you bribe politicians to force people to buy it. Also don't forget the tax breaks and incentives stolen from welfare to subsidize the manufacturer. What an incredible savings. Meanwhile still burning fossil to generate electricity to be pumped through inefficient transmission lines. 20 tons of Co2 per vehicle built equalling 4 years of driving a gas vehicle only to have it scraped in 5 years because it ain't built to last.

how many square feet of solar panes do you have? I have a hard time believing that Tesla can power their charging stations with the few solar canopies they have setup in certain areas.

@@skmetal7 not sure of the square footage, because my solar array is based off watts, I have a mixed sets of solar panels. This means that solar panels depending on the manufacturer, they come in an arrangement of measurements. Which as it stands I have only have 1205 watts an hour at peak performance. Yet daily use is a measurement that is different to achieve, without creating resistance. Due to gage of wire that such measurement device requires, I have not measured this parameter. I also have wired thr cabin with over gauged wire, to reduce resistance. Always adding to the 12 volt system. The thought is to develop a 12 volt system that handles all my basic needs. Then build the 24 volt system after the 12 volt system can support what I need to keep everything going, even if it's bad weather for a few days. I am just about ready to add another 720 watts. Which due to a 12 volt system. That panels were a lot larger for what they receive for watts. The energy hub has a roof line 12x6, and 12x8, so 168sq ft. The main point is that, yes people should learn their energy consumption, before thinking that they are saving the planet, with buying an EV. Solar understands watts more then anything, and a 1000 watts is a kilowatt. When thinking solar a single kilowatt is a lot of energy. So when buying even a blender the about ot watts that it takes to operate this item is a deep consideration. Many companies now use a plow against this understanding by not illustrating the watts. This why understanding Ohms law comes into play. If one knows this simple math, then it's not difficult to determine whether to buy it or not. Solar is not as simple as it seems, yet it is.

The last year I have gotten down to average of 0.85 kWh pr. day (without heating) My electric car uses about 15 times that amount.

Electric cars are for people who have bad math

15 years? more like 5 years!

A battery that you can charge to only 60 percent of what you could when it was new is considered "worn out". This usually happens long before 15 years. A more realistic estimate is 7 years if you run deep cycles (discharging most of the battery energy before recharging) or up to 12 years running shallow cycles (low mileage per day and keeping battery topped up). A truck battery is much more likely to be run using deep cycles....especially when hauling a load or when towing. A Tesla 3 or cheaper EV for daily commutes makes economic sense....anything larger does not. An EV semi-truck is especially hard to make economically feasible when the weight of the batteries in order to get the range you need approaches the weight of the load you are trying to haul. When bringing in the cost of a battery change you get to a point of diminishing returns. Democrat politicians only look at the best case scenario and think that everyone drives that way so everyone should be forced to change to EV by letting gas prices go up. They do not even consider that most people do not drive shallow cycle. They only consider the city dwellers that vote their way and are already big proponents of EVs. Hopefully the next election will remove these short term thinkers out of power.

EVs are practical just not the Hummer EV

EVs are not practical at all. That's why some auto companies were on the path to bankruptcy when they can't sell EVs because almost no one wants them. You would know that if you paid attention to what happened to the EVs in cold climates this past winter. You'd know that if you paid attention to the houses burned down by EVs. If you run the heat in the winter, the range can drop to half. EVS are a disaster that almost no one wants.

They INTENDED for it to be expensive. Politicians don't care one bit if we can't afford it. This helps them CONTROL people.

@@MickeyMishra If you actually believe electricity will be more expensive than fossil fuels then you should rejoice. It'll give gas, diesel, and natgas more reason to exist at the consumer level as people buy home backup generators which will also be used to charge their electric vehicles. On a serious note, what unregulated technology has gotten more expensive over time while providing less utility to the consumer? 10 years from now the solar panels installed today will be providing free power. The minimal costs to maintain them will be well within the budget of today's power rates. There is a also reasonable chance a standard priced home will have a solar tile roof by default. Materials aren't the major cost, it's location and personnel. Los Angeles where I grew up the median cost of a home is 1M and selling your home for 1.2M by upgrading the roof to solar tiles is something Californian's absolutely would do.

CA averages $0.28 per KWh, which would cost over $200 to fill it. Then mandating a transition where they can't meet electric power demand today?? Haven't seen such a collosal idiotic idea this big since mortgage companies made NINJA loans (No Income - No Job, Application) for $500,000+ homes.

Aluminum comes from bauxite. If you are familiar with the process of getting the aluminum from the bauxite you have to wonder how many acres of solar panels it would require.

Yes and no, coal is better than a bunch of ICEs(not to mention refining gasoline) but still not great once you factor in the cost of emissions to make the EV

EV charging stations are a great reason why we should be expanding nuclear power stations. If they are delusional enough to think ICE sales will be banned by 2035 imagine how many charging stations will have to go up and how many cities will have Megawatts of power being pulled from the grid in one square block areas a day.
