“Like driving electric cars to avoid fossil fuels, without realizing much of the electricity powering the cars still comes from fossil fuels”

Last month my BIL drove from Atlanta to visit us in Central Florida in his pre-owned Tesla. Batteries were replaced under warrant/service agreement, I forgot which one.

Oh, and don’t get Trump started on Energy Star dishwashers! He’ll rant for hours! Can someone stuff a (dirty) rag in this guy’s mouth already? 

No. The majority of the cars on this list no longer qualify for the Federal tax credit. Try again with a valid list.

The thing is you don’t need that many stations, all you need are enough along the route.

you need to route to CCS chargers for the Ford. I didn’t look closely though. You can try yourself with different configurations abetteroutefinder.com

And yet...I have an EV as my only car and have regularly made road trips. Does it take a little longer due to charging? Yes. But it’s fine and doable, and road trips aren’t my primary use.

An important thing to mention about your map is scale. Seattle to Spokane (the width of your map) is only 280 miles across. Most current-gen EVs could make that in a single trip or only stopping once, and there are for example at least seven 150 kW or greater Superchargers along that route. If you had a Tesla Model 3…

Lol. You guys are pulling down $180k and can’t afford the fucking lease on an EV? You must have terrible budgeting skills.

Prepandemic, I bought a three year off lease Leaf for 11K. It is a great city car and I think everyone should go get a depreciated electric.

You don’t have to be upper middle class to afford a $26k Chevy Bolt.

“If you’re going to make the average consumer accept a electric vehicle”

So on A Better Route Planner Frankfort KY to DC - says 10hr trip, 1 hour charging (model 3 LR starting at 90%).

The infrastructure out here (southern california) is getting to the point that long trips are fairly seamless.  Say a trip here to the Bay Area is almost as straightforward as using an ICE.

Great, BEVs will remove your balls now. This is just another example of the woke mob destroying masculinity in America.

Maybe if grids fucking installed peak load batteries and also encouraged people to install batteries in their home, they wouldn’t have to... deal with peak loading and having so much excess power generation in the rest of the day.

Maybe bi-directional charge would help.

Just the other week (month?) someone was telling me that only Tesla does this, and the dealer market prevents things like this from happening... or something like that.  I dunno.  I didn’t pay attention much.

Can’t tell if trolling, or if these were just the only engines you could name...
