I made gas prices largely obsolete

Yeah with a DC mig welder. Not AC with ultra high frequency superimposed arc stabilization.

 

Whats sad is my Nissan leaf can easily haul twice that much plywood/osb, no problem.

 

But supposedly electric vehicle are going to "take over".

 

EVs will "take over" when the Federal gov't is ballsy enough to ban alternatives. Coming soon, I'd wager.

 

That's the only way to get electric vehicle adoption above a third. In the united states EVs will probably live around 10% they're a great second car.
The main things that are going to kill EVs are mind blowing depreciation and sky high insurance rates.

 

Until the grid is upgraded enough to support EVs, they will remain in the minority. Of course, the short range, long recharge times and lack of load carrying capacity all come into play, not to mention the issues OP4 listed above.

 

If every passenger vehicle became an EV over night we would need about 20% more electricity. If nearly all the charging happened at night, as long as it wasn't a really cold night.....

 

When you start with the assumption that the Left wants to get rid of fossil fuels, it starts to make sense. They don’t care if it won’t work. The goal is to get rid of fossil fuels, not to let people get from point A to point B. The goal is not to let commerce flow. The goal is to shut it all down.

 

Yeah pretty much communism.
