EVs sit atop an Everest of lies. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Tesla has been making electric cars for sixteen years – since 2008, when the first Lotus sports car converted-to-battery-power came out. Since that time, Elon Musk – the company’s principal and founder – has been promising that all the money he’s been taking (italicized to make a point of the fact that Tesla’s business model depends fundamentally on various iterations of coercion) would be used to finance the eventual development of affordable EVs for the masses.
Just wait!
They’ll be here any day now. . .
Kind of like that “breakthrough” in battery technology we’ve been hearing is coming for the past 30 years and counting. And maybe it is coming. The problem is the other half – figuring out how to recharge a battery (any battery) in a couple of minutes, the same amount of time it takes to fill a gas tank – remains a problem. One that won’t be solved unless a way can be divined to transfer extremely high voltage from source to portable storage device (i.e., the battery) in just a few minutes without burning everything to the ground.
Maybe. But is it likely? Is it probable?
Probably not.
So even if you have a battery with a realistic 400 mile range – meaning that’s how far it’ll actually power the EV in realistic driving scenarios – you’d still have to contend with weekly waits of 30-minutes plus to recover a partial charge at what they pie-in-your-face style “fast” chargers. These aren’t as slow as home chargers. But to call them “fast” is another iteration of the etymological abuse so deftly practiced by the Left. And it is the Left that is the driving force behind this pushing of EVs.
To inhale musk or not to inhale musk, that is the question.
I’ll pass on the inhale and Mars is never going to happen.
He should wear the Baphomet shoulder pads at all times as that is a cool look for him and I appreciate it when one reveals who they serve.
An outlaw bud had a body sleeve tattoo of Hell and Baphomet, EM should go all out.
