If the country somehow switches to mostly EV, will charging prices be as Volatile as petro?

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Then there’s the time it takes to fully charge.

It will cost billions to install enough charging stations to not cause disruption. I don’t think people realize how much will need to be put into switching over.

California is banning new gas vehicles from being sold in the coming years. Which means dealers will be fighting for used car inventory. Which will eventually spread to other states.


I don’t thing this society, this country is capable of being a mostly EV one. We can’t even build high speed rails. With the way we interact, we are a nation of nomads and antisocial motherfukkers incapable of progress.

For some reason I thought charging your car was free

 

[Toine]

We really need to redesign cities to make cars not a necessity

It is if you have solar installed. When it’s time for me to jump into an electric vehicle, definitely will get solar. I should be getting solar now living in SD but my electricity bills aren’t that high since we’re never home and live by the beach.

Is that a electric vehicle feature option, like power windows and heated seats?

I ain't gon' lie, I initially did too.

Yup. You could have seen the con from a mile away.

Not if countries get their head out of their asses and start building nuclear power plants. Seems like Europe, especially Germany, fukked itself over by decommissioning their nuclear power plants and switching to natural gas - the majority of which was supplied by Russia. Germany literally started firing up coal plants to keep up with energy demand once the Ukraine/Russia war broke out. That is some ridiculous self ownage.

No because most people will be able to charge at home eventually. Homeowners can charge up in their garage and I'm guessing apartments are going to start installing chargers in covered car ports for extra rent ofcourse.

The US has tried building Nuclear plants recently in GA and SC and mostly failed. Those plants aren't cheap to build nor maintain due to environmental regulations.

Most of the modern world would be getting they supply of uranium from Russia tho

The US can’t seem to quit Russian uranium

There are major bottlenecks in the uranium supply chain.

'Putin created Rosatom in 2007, and the state company now produces nearly 20 percent of the world’s nuclear fuel — providing an important revenue stream for Moscow just as fossil fuels do. Rosatom officials have also reportedly been present at two Ukrainian nuclear sites seized by Russian forces, although Russian officials denied allegations that Rosatom would take over permanent management of Ukraine’s largest nuclear power plant.

Ekodia was one of several local and environmental groups that sent a letter to Biden and European leaders this month asking them to cut ties with Rosatom and ban nuclear fuel imported from Russia. It’s not a simple request. Those imports made up about 16 percent of the US’s uranium supply in 2020 (Russian allies Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan provided another 30 percent). That’s a far larger slice than the roughly 7 percent of oil imports that came from Russia that year (the US imports little coal and no natural gas from Russia).'

That shyt won’t fly in the north east. What about areas where you have to park on the street?

 

[Strapped]

What happens when the battery degrades , I'll say the best alternative is hydrogen along with new nuclear plants

Over reliance on any country, especially a hostile one, for critical resources is a national security risk. At some point, investment into building up domestic production has to happen, if it's possible. Seems the US has had enough of relying on Taiwan for semiconductors, and the CHIPS Act is aimed at increasing R&D/manufacturing capacity to put an end to this.
