Electric cars are a good idea, but the infrastructure is not there, and it is going to take so much natural resources to make the batteries and the motors. I do not believe the world has enough raw materials to supply the demand needed. There are hydrogen fueled vehicles out there. Which is a much better option. Hybrid is also a good option.
When they do install the infrastructure for electric cars, they should also install infrastructure for hydrogen fueled vehicles.
10-22 The Governor of California signed into law that all internal combustion engines need to be eliminated by 2035. I do not even think that is possible. Two weeks later, he told everybody not to charge their electric cars because they do not have enough electricity to power the homes.
In 2021 246 people froze to death in their homes because there was no electricity. I believe that number would have been a lot higher if they had electric vehicles and they were not able to go anywhere. In San Antonio 346,000 people were without power.
The electricity has to come from somewhere. So, you are still using fossil fuels to make electricity it may be slightly more efficient but you’re still polluting.
there should be more scientist to make batteries and motors more efficient. They should be funded by the electric car industry.
Comparing an electrical vehicle to a gasoline vehicle. If it takes half an hour to charge up your vehicle using 150 kW. That is like pumping gas into your vehicle will cost you $5 per gallon. Your gas tank will only hold 5 gallons. It will take you 1/2 an hour to pump the 5 gallons. Your vehicle gets 20 miles per gallon. Your range is 200 miles. And the engine that it takes to power up 150 kW. For half an hour we’ll burn almost 8 gallons. That does not sound like it is fixing the environment at all. And then you have the diesel engines that are trying to mine the raw materials. And the factory that runs on diesel engines or natural gas? To make the vehicles.
The ability to make electricity from electricity is not here yet. So therefore, we are going to have to build a lot of power plants that run on fossil fuels. The only other option to date is nuclear power plants. Fusion technology is pretty close. We should put a lot of money into that kind of technology and get it applied as soon as possible.
Biden wants the military to be all electric That is just outright stupidity, in my opinion.
