Charging electric cars

Not open for further replies.
Savings don't matter because it has awesome torque! And Elon promised a 5 minute 500 mile recharge sometime in the next 100 years.
If a particular party in Washington is correct in 50 years it will not matter anyways what Elon promised.
 
I’ve noticed a couple electric cars in my neighborhood that sit outside hooked to extension cords and their charger. One sits in their driveway but the other one sits in the street with the plug stock out in the street’s traffic. Considering the random prowlers running around at night trying to enter cars, checking out open garages and just plain old vandalizing, I would think this would just be asking for trouble. I can see kids savaging cut off plugs to see who can collect the most.

I can see someone that needs his *** kicked for even having an electrical cord out in traffic unattended. Codes are going to have to be updated to protect the public from idiots like this.

Not sure what is meant? There is chatter from some scientific studies that suggest we are past the point of no return. Even if we got to 0 additional CO admission. (This doesn't mean no CO admission. It means back down below 3 ppm that the earth atmosphere can accommodate.) Our activities are not the primary cause of greenhouse gas. We are the straw that is breaking the camel's back. What does this mean for the future? If we do nothing? We are going to lose the ice caps in the next 100 years. What does that all mean in damage? Well that opinion varies widely.

The worst predictions is that the planet will experience runaway greenhouse gas emissions. Primarily of the permafrost melt from the artic regions. The methane trapped from centuries/millenia of decaying plant and animal life is more than enough to saturate the atmosphere. Thus resemble a climate more like Venus. (Obviously less extreme due to we are much farther away from the sun) But enough to end all complex lifeforms currently on our planet. This "Worse case scenario" is why many in the scientific community is calling it a "Climate Crisis."

The Numbers are there for a global catastrophe. There is enough methane for this to happen. Russian scientists are already believing it's begun. (Russia holds the largest of these frozen trapped methane regions. Canada is 2nd.)

It's ironic. That the trapped frozen methane is actually future fossil fuel. Not yet in Coal, Oil form for millions of more years. And it's the burning of fossil fuels that has triggered the disruption of distant natural future fossil fuel development.

If we were for moment entertain this worse case scenario as actual inevitability? Does this mean there is nothing that can be done? I don't believe so. So far we have only begun to address the causing activities. We have not discussed much about mediation. It would not be that technically difficult to block sunlight (I'm guessing primarily at the polar regions. And would only need to be fractional.) To offset the rise in global temperatures. Not as a cure. But to buy the planet time to heal.

Much of the science says we are not at this point. And that the planet is more resilient. The Covid shutdowns did illustrate how fast pollution numbers can drop. But never the less. There is more than enough data to warrant concerns.

Charging electric cars still sucks.
 
Efficiency and conservation should always be used regardless of politics and theories. Waste helps no one and being responsible is respectable.
Which I say again I hope those passionate here about greenhouse gas emissions are doing their part and driving a hybrid car daily.
 
Yeah. The denying crowd loves the fart jokes. This guy is laughing and laughing.

Now we know what kind of BS you believe. :rolleyes:

LMAO. Financialpost.com? Yup. Right up there with the US wildlife organization? I don't know who to believe? We now know the BS that you believe? Let's ignore the sciencist on the ground. Running around on the ice taking measurements for a financial blog writer?

So your stories of how man is destroying the world are to be taken as gospel, but counterpoints are not. Got it chief.

In your mind, I suppose this too is fake.

A little off the rails on the topic of charging electric cars challenges. I still believe we are heading in far better direction. It's not even debatable to the rest of the western world. At least they're not laughing at us as they were a couple years ago.

I think we are going to see some really cool stuff.
 
Fact, an electric car is cool like a drafty toilet.
HEY! I might like a drafty toilet? ( Actually don't know what that means?) But anything that can spice up toilet time? That's as lonely as it gets?

People driving electric cars have been fooled into thinking they're being responsible. Facts are, like a disposable walmart toaster, those electric cars are gonna last a few years and end up in the dump. Who's gonna replace the batteries when they cost over half the price of a new car? Very irresponsible imho.

Especially when you consider that the mining for the minerals to make the batteries is all going to be done overseas, which means that once gain, we will be energy dependent on foreign countries. This time around it will be China, not the Arabs.
