Stop telling us to buy electric!

[jbrownson0831]

Back when electric cars first came out, you were right. However, nowadays, more and more EV charging stations are being built every day, and soon they will get to the number needed to make them viable alternatives. Most people recharge their EV at home right now, but I see public stations popping up every day.

EV charging ports will soon outnumber gas stations in the US, yet it won't be enough

In 2021, there was nearly one EV charging port for every gas station in the US, and a whole lot more EV charging ports are needed.

Once upon a time is no longer required as it's fast becoming a reality.

Uhh, well, your reality seems to vary from those with some level of common sense....maybe plug in to a nearby outlet and see if you get a new light bulb over your head.

We sold some walnut trees awhile back. I was shocked what they sold for

I only have 5 trees but they are all HUGE trees that lose limbs frequently. Not enough to justify a gas chainsaw but too much to cut by hand. Hence the battery saw

I didn't tell you to buy a damned thing. Maybe you are feeling guilty for not going on that waiting list, loser.

You know, at one time when the automobile first came out, they said that it would never replace the horse.

The Horse Is Here To Stay, But the Automobile Is Only a Novelty — a Fad – Quote Investigator®

quoteinvestigator.com

In 1903 Horace Rackham spoke to a leading banker who advised him that the automobile was a fad according to Bushnell’s biography of Henry Ford as discussed previously in this article.

Belief in the superiority of horses for crucial delivery tasks was still being expressed in 1913 within a article in “The Country Gentleman” of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:[4]



The writer also doubted the continuing availability of gasoline. Interestingly, the potential of electric vehicles was mentioned:




It was just over a hundred years ago that they said autos and gas engines were "just a fad", and that they would never come into wide spread use. Today? Cars are used by damn near everyone, and the gas engine is widely used.

Same thing with electric cars. Right now, lots of people think they are just a fad and will never catch on, but car manufacturers and lots of other people seem to think different.

I didn't say that we can NEVER replace fossil fuels, so your BS failed off the top

Another one TOO STUPID to grasp the point of the thread

We have three fireplaces, hence gas chainsaws lol

Here is a new in stock ready for work Ford F150 Electric for $41k with 2238 pound payload capacity.

Wouldn't have the distance into rural areas I require.

Our property has about 1 1/2 acres of lawn. Battery isn't going to get it done

An electric mower CAN get it done if you want to do so. RYOBI has a zero turn riding lawn mower with a 42 inch deck that can do 2 1/2 acres (75 ah mower) to 3 acres (100 ah mower) per charge. And, the price is 4,199, which is comparable to most riding zero turn lawn mowers.

RYOBI 42 in. 75 Ah Battery Electric Riding Zero Turn Mower RY48ZTR75 - The Home Depot

It's time to turn away from gas and towards the RYOBI 48-Volt Zero Turn Electric Riding Mower. Powered by 75 Ah Batteries and 4 High-Powered Brushless Motors, this mower can cut up to 2.5 acres on a single

No thanks, 60 inch Hustler Zero turn makes short work of it.

The thing is a boss

So some think we don't have supply problems. Check out these new inoperable trucks rusting away.

I just took these pictures

Might wanna read the link and see what is really happening. You sound like some of those people at the beginning of the age of automobiles who said the car would never replace the horse.

From the link I provided you.....................

For example, EOS Linx, which provides solar-supported stations with EV chargers, today announced a collaboration with Choice Hotels International – one of the largest hotel chains in the world that has more than 6,000 US franchised hotels such as EconoLodge and Quality Inn – to install EOS Charge Stations at select properties. The first set of EOS Charge Stations will be installed at select hotels in Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Nashville during the first quarter of this year. EOS Linx provides Level 2 chargers and fast chargers with varying capabilities and uses the universal J1772 charging standard system.

Further, convenience store chain 7-Eleven has also promised to install 500 DCFC charging ports by the end of 2022. It currently only has 22 charging stations at 14 stores in four states.

More and more companies are getting onboard with providing electric vehicle charging stations everyday. Near where I live here in SC, there is a Wal Mart in Irmo that currently has a charging station. If you want to see where charging stations are, you can simply use Google.

They are going to be obsolete in three years.

As my gas powered garden tools go tits up, I’ve been replacing them with battery powered.

So much simpler. Pop in a battery, flip a switch, and off you go.

how many's on that waiting list? three?

Buy a $60,000 electric car, then.

All of this frustration and angst is just part of the 'amazing transformation' we are going through. You'll thank Democrats when it's all over.

What happens when they run out of juice and you can't recharge them because of the brown outs due to solar and wind not being able to get the job done?

I’ll worry about that when it happens.

So how come all EVs are powered by fossil fuels?

You Lie!

Here in the USA we already get over 20% of our electricity from Wind & Solar. That's far more than is being used by EV's.

 

[Dragonlady]

Another big lie of the Democrat party is that we even have the technology to eliminate fossil fuels. We are not close to actually switching our economy. Democrats don't care, it's just another way to destroy us

I guess you missed the part about taking years to complete the transition or that the government is building a network of charging stations nation wide.

Then it dies in about half an hour and off you go trudge to recharge your weak lady boy battery. Do you prance?
