The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

Wicked torque and acceleration yes, but it will never replicate the smile inducing power of a roaring V8.

I'd imagine that roaring V8 would be a lot less smile-inducing when you get smoked by a compact SUV on its way back from Meijer.

This is the one I never understand, we don't have enough electricity as it is in some parts of the country yet somehow we're going to support millions of electric cars?

Just stop it with the whole common sense thing…

You could probably fix the sound effects with a good, targeted sound system wiht some big ass-ed speakers!

I raised this with a liberal minded friend years ago. His response was a condescending "well, I'm sure 'they've thought of that' and it won't be a problem"...

Oh yes.
"Top men" are working on it.
Who?
"Top men".

MISO is predicting a 7,400 Mw shortage of electricity today around 4pm.

But don't let that stop you from purchasing that EV.

The plot of the movie, "The Dilemma" features this! Two inventors come up with a way to make a fictional electric Charger sound like a Hemi. And some other stuff about one of the guys catching his friend's wife cheating.
Some of the interior filming was done at the Lucent Technologies Lisle , IL building where I worked at the time. They took great pains to keep us away from the cameras.

I had forgotten to even check this out for the day. We haven’t been getting the “sky is falling” news warnings yet, I guess.

This seems analogous to making plant based “meat” look and taste like real meat.

My employer is a heavy user, so we keep in contact with the local REMC

Forgot to mention that the movie is a comedy.

After they get the ICE off the road they will come for EV’s…

The world needs 2 billion electric vehicles to get to net zero. But is there enough lithium to make all the batteries?

Surging demand for electric vehicles means surging demand for lithium, a key metal for EV batteries. But global supplies are tight – and getting tighter.

I Rented A Tesla And Am Now Sold On Gas-Powered Vehicles

After test-driving a Tesla, we will never buy any electric vehicle as long as we have the option of gas-powered cars or hybrids.

I just watched this a few months ago. Better than I was expecting, even if the plot was all over the place.

It's worse than that. California has now admitted that they are going to be at least 20% short on electricity needs to meet their EV requirements (there's a link about 10 pages back or so). I remember doing the back of the napkin math on what it would take, and by 2030, the extra load on the system will be equivalent to adding 100k new houses per year, and that grows with the requirement. This is JUST NEW CAR SALES, not even counting the millions of EV's and PHEV already in play. That's just in california. Spread throughout the US it was something like adding 1.4 million single family homes in the next 5 years.

Keep in mind we are ALSO adding around 1 million new homes a year as well. So doubling the amount of demand as we currently have.
