Keeping up with the green plan.

I can honestly say I've seen a tesla with a Honda generator for power to charge the car.

This is when I pray for Polar vortexes!!!

Saw one of these guys Friday charging a Tesla in a parking lot, wished I had snapped a picture, at least his generator was located in the bed of the truck under a canopy, semi-discreet. I know that it was a white Dodge dually diesel

So, using this AI summary and the $160 service fee, that is roughly ¢.39 a mile versus my F150 5.0 at $3.25 a gallon, 450 miles is ¢.16 a mile

Nuts

So when are EV's getting a road tax for their usage and extra weight?

BTW, parking garages will have to be reengineered to handle the extra weight.

I don't know how after the thousands of gallons of fuel it takes to mine the minerals for all the batteries they can say this is a better option. They burn thru more diesel in a day than I'd use in a year

What happens when EV runs out in huge traffic jam? Underestimated distance to next charging station? Charging station stripped for copper? Diesel generator for charging station now at someone's remote prepper location? Are they flat bedded? By a EV flatbed? Handy dandy battery boost pack? Diesel Flatbeds come with charging station?

Who is responsible for the extra tire wear debris since tires last maybe 10-12k? This wear debris contains interesting metals.

Interesting discussion on actual ROI crossing lines of environmental return of EV's.

Wait til they have a full on Lithium battery fire about the second level of a pre-cast parking ramp, if ya want to see a good sized repair bill!

After it ends up at ground level?

My whole complaint on electric vehicles is this in a nut shell.

1: The IC engines (gas and electric) run in the USA are among the cleanest burning engines in the world.

2: The damage done to mine Lithium to then charge them with fossil fuels and coal is stupid.

3: THIS IS THE BIG ONE. IF the USA goes all electric, Russia, China, India and other countries with ZERO emission controls in place will still run IC vehicles until all the oil is gone. That means we (USA) rape the landscape for lithium that is not recyclable, and let the rest of the world pollute the globe. Man are liberal idiots are dumb.

And I have seen too many EV's with generators in the back. If it is a GREEN vehicle, should only be allowed to charge with wind, solar or hydro power.

So what happens when hydrogen fuel becomes safe, effective and available? No more batteries with hydrogen when it's fully developed without need for battery backup. IMO, that technology is on immediate horizon. Plus it's the next home power system.

Lithium battery fire, in progress at a factory in Seoul, South Korea, has over 22 workers killed firemen having troubles putting out the fire. Fire doesn't look very much like Green Energy ,with all that black smoke.
