Last gasp effort by them to stem the plunge in sales but too late with more ppl reading the bigger picture into the road to nowhere with EV's.

Damn, $250 an hour is already here with barely any market penetration.
"Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer and host of the podcast "The Wright Report," told Fox News Digital that American society has shifted to EVs largely because some people are "just so hellbent on making sure that this transition happens, even if that means wrecking the economy, in terms of electricity, its reliability, the grid, getting brownouts or blackouts or economic wreckage by people who otherwise can't afford these new vehicles." "That cost is being shouldered by buyers and car companies by raising the price of gas-powered vehicles, [which] is basically just a direct wealth transfer, just paying for EV subsidies and that will grow over time, if we continue to keep this regime in place," Brent Bennett, a policy director for Life:Powered, an initiative of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, told Fox News Digital. California, Wright said, is likely a "really sad test case" for what the rest of the country could face, where he said it currently costs about $250 an hour to service an EV. The state has made a strong push for EVs under Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Californians will by 2035 not be allowed to buy new gas-powered cars and light trucks." |

"Overall, they conclude that with a much cleaner electricity grid (80 % renewables), BETs would result in an 80 % reduction of climate (CO2) and health (local air pollution) damages compared to future diesel trucks." "For long haul routes below 300 miles, electrification reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas damages by 13% " - how is this calculated. How are greenhouse damages calculated? The paper does not provide such data. Also how are health impacts determined and calculated? The paper does not provide the data. It talks about "the environmental justice implications of freight pollution by analyzing the disparity in health impacts across racial groups". How are the health impacts of freight pollution segregated from the health impacts of smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, drug use, and poor eating habits (which everyone does regardless of socio-economic situation)?

In my case for 15 years I sat in an automobile 20 hours a week commuting in traffic. Near 85 minutes daily of it in heavy stop and go traffic. Studies say that is not good for humans either. I'm well above low socio-economic status. We all have life burdens. Last edited by Efthreeoh; 04-23-2024 at 02:37 PM.. |

British Columbians are becoming less keen on going electric for their next vehicle, a new survey finds.
The survey, conducted by AutoTrader, reports that interest in electric vehicles is dropping year-by-year nation-wide. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/0...rest-dropping/ |

Can't wait for the new threads that're about to pop up after today's reveal of the revised Tesla Model 3 Performance. Faster 0-60, weighs about 100lbs more, about 40 miles less range, and 7 more horsepower than the 2024 BMW M3 Comp I was considering. For about $30k less, before Federal and State rebates. Regardless of the love or hate of EVs, I don't think anyone can refute the performance at that price point.

That why I say no thank you for EV. I know a lot of people (including a few of my friends) switched to EV strictly because of the EV incentives. They forgot there is no free lunch in this world. You pay what you get. Range anxiety, expensive when they are new and no value in second hand (no one want to buy), battery blues, charging hasseles, eat your tires like no tomorrow unless you drive like grandpa/grandmom.

Conceptualize if you will, the inability to understand what a peer reviewed paper entails and how little requirements it has to have outside of citing and format requirements. You can make a peer reviewed study on anything, but that has nothing to do with it's merit. Thanks for taking this one apart, I didn't want to read it, but it's the usual fantasy trope as we all anticipated. I think people just read the headlines on phys.org and then think they're scientists.

I never stated that; I simply compared a new car release's performance figures to a car I'm currently looking at. But thanks for the gatekeeping. My current S55 has been a dream.

Performance figures or hypothetical 0-60 times? My bike goes 0-60 faster than a M3P at 1/3 the price. Does that make it a useful comparison? Apples and oranges.

The study under discussion here, made no reasoning what effect automation has on reducing truck emissions. I read the article several times and I did not see the tie in into automation. I think we are 5 decades away (if ever) from automated over-the-road trucks. 50 years time is well past most climate scientists prediction of the point of no climatic return. |
