It is cold this morning. Temps are in the Fahrenheit teens with wind chills near zero. In other words, January. I’m just glad I’m not stuck on some highway like those poor schlubs earlier this week in Virginia.
Of course things would have been far worse if Biden and the Democrats get their way. Just imagine being stuck in sub-freezing weather for 24 hours or so in an electric vehicle. Once you drain the power from the batteries you are screwed. With a gas powered car you can prepare for the worst by bringing an extra can of fuel. You can’t lug an extra battery. And once the road was cleared it was possible to get gas to the cars that ran out. If you buy an electric car you will need to be towed so you can spend the next four to eight hours getting your car recharged. Is a car battery damaged if it completely discharges in an electric vehicle? I don’t know, but I would ask before I plunked down my hard earned cash.
People might just die because of electric cars but the pouty Scandinavian teenager won’t scold you. Seems like a good trade off.
Liberals. It is always about the intentions, never the consequences.
Electric cars won’t work if you are stranded. Can’t charge them if the power is out. The grid won’t handle an influx of millions of cars being charged. How do we dispose of the batteries? The rare metals for the batteries are mined in countries that are not our allies and friends. But we all have to drive one because save the planet.
Yep. Sign me up a week from never.
Hey bud, spare a couple AAA batteries?
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason I have a generator in my garage.
You might try reading the dirty Tesla article on their performance in such events.

ReplyDeleteIm not sure of the link but there were electric cars in the mess. they only used a small portion of their battery and did just fine. It showed results between two different types of heaters in the cars and the time etc... one was an older model different types. so research on your part should show you the results and i would hope give you cause to rethink your theories on electric cars.
