The lunacy of electric cars

[Redfish]

Its amazing how ignorant the EV advocates are about basic science and energy. They seem to think that an EV just runs forever without any input of any kind. If they get beyond that they think the recharging is free and doesn't require additional generating capacity. Ignorance abounds on the left, they prove it every day.

There is no perpetual motion machines on the planet and we all know that.

there isn't any free lithium to make batteries either. It is mined by children in terrible conditions, but you libs don't seem to care about that. hypocrites

I have never thought that anything was free but air and sunshine, so go and lie about other people somewhere else.

Driving an electric car is more about virtue signalling than saving the planet. That is why manufacturers have had to make them look different from regular cars.

Electric cars are not insane

they have several positive attributes

the lunacy is coming from rabid EV advocates on the left with their mindless hate for fossil fuel

Damn those people at golf courses virtue-signaling while using electric golf carts....OH, the inhumanity of it all!

Which is exactly why I wish the liberals would get on their high horses and pass a law to mandate removable and replaceable batteries for typical electronics. I'm getting sick of expensive computers, phones and tablets being reduced to disposable items by purposely putting in shitty batteries that will end up costing an arm and a leg to after 15 months.

No engine oil changes (or leaks), ever.
Fuel is transported through wires; no pipeline spills.
Fewer moving parts to wear out.
Fuel up in your driveway.
No oil spots in your driveway.
No dirty oil spilled all over the place by DIY mechanics.
No air pollution in heavy traffic areas.
Wide range of sources to provide electricity.

Japan had an off shore earthquake last week...a 7.3 shaker....it shut down their power grid in the Fukushima region for two days...and everyone with an electric car could not drive to work....
Can you imagine with democrat rolling brown outs in the west people being stuck with 60,000 dollar paper weights in their garage....
Buuuuaaaaahahahaha
I'm going to stick this gas hike in their faces and buy a new truck this weekend....

Gas powered and electric golf carts look the same, genius.

list the positive attributes, and try to be truthful

They are slightly cheaper by the mile on fuel than ICE cars

and they have cheaper maintaince costs for the owner

No oil changes, tuneups, ect

Dealerships make most of their profit off of maintenee and repair

and they see little profit in electric cars

at the same time EVs have minuses that the fanatics on the left dont like to think about much less discuss

not when you refuel them

 

[Staidhup]

Wait until they get a $20,000 plus bill for replacing that battery. Wonder what the core disposal charge is?

 

[Rambunctious]

When most gas powered cars come to the end of their life there is always a market for them somewhere....the auto parts market or poor countries buying and fixing them...that helps to keep them from being crushed and tossed in a landfill...when EV's die there is no fix...you either buy a new battery at 2 to 8 thousand bucks or buy a new EV....most folks opt for the new car and their old cars are sent to landfills....
