A fully electric vehicle is not Zero Emission unless it is charged with electricity generated from a zero emission source. I think we’re a bit short of that.
If only the environmentalist whackos realized that nuclear fission is cleaner and more reliable than any other source of electricity known to man. But this is Biden’s America, where up is down and down is up.
EVs are more expensive and less useful. Consumers aren’t stupid, and they’re not willing to waste their hard-earned money on such a ridiculous boondoggle.
Perhaps at some point in the future when the grid is 100% nuclear fission or fusion will it make sense to convert over to electric vehicles. Windmills and solar just don’t have the electrical capacity. They certainly don’t have the reliability needed.
I think in 1923, I would have heard something similar about the switch from horses to cars…
Dan, you are incorrect. Cars provided far more utility than horses and less “maintenance”, which is why they’re the dominant form of transportation in the modern world.
Dan,
Even as dirty as the combustion engine was in 1923, it was still considered
an ideal environmental alternative to horses.
Horses waste was everywhere and many died while pulling street cars.
Many times laying in the street where they died for several days.
And how many batteries would you have had to purchase for an electric vehicle and the 15 years the article represents in saving money from not having to purchase gasoline? I recently saw an article that the battery on a new Hyundai EV was $46,000.
Rhea, the “inconvenient truth” of electric vehicles is that the battery has a very limited lifespan and costs a fortune to replace, but few people do, so the “green” EV gets scrapped so another one can be built with even more rare earth minerals. Incredibly wasteful, but makes the communists giddy when their favored corporations get richer off the mandates and handouts. It’s bizarro world!
Notwithstanding that they aren’t currently practical or as environmentally friendly as they say, the crap tax credit program isn’t helping at all. Wrapped up shortsighted buy America requirements in all of it, with phase outs and everything that makes government programs complicated. Here’s an idea – free installation of charging infrastructure in your home if you buy one. The whole thing is just being done so poorly.
Who is paying for the “free” installation? Your neighborhood electrician?
