The Electric Vehicle Scam

The utility companies have thus far had little to say about the alarming cost projections to operate electric vehicles (EVs) or the increased rates that they will be required to charge their customers. It is not just the total amount of electricity required⏤but the transmission lines and fast charging capacity that must be built at existing filling stations. Neither wind nor solar can support any of it. Electric vehicles will never become the mainstream of transportation!

In part 1 of our exposé on the problems with electric vehicles (EVs), we showed that they were too expensive, too unreliable, rely on materials mined in China and other unfriendly countries, and require more electricity than the nation can afford. In this second part, we address other factors that will make any sensible reader avoid EVs like the plague.

EV Charging Insanity

In order to match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service in a busy 12 hours, an EV charging station would require 600, 50-watt chargers at an estimated cost of $24 million and a supply of 30 megawatts of power from the grid. That is enough to power 20,000 homes. No one likely thinks about the fact that it can take 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge a vehicle between empty or just topping off. What are the drivers doing during that time?

ICSC-Canada board member New Zealand-based consulting engineer Bryan Leyland describes why installing electric car charging stations in a city is impractical:

Absolutely. IT. IS. UN. Workable.

And these idiot leftists are all onboard.

In Norway over 50% of the cars sold are EVs.
You can ignore reality if you want, reality pays little heed to what you ignore or not.

The growth of EV sales worldwide is a fact.

New EV hummer takes for days of charging for 2 hours drive time.

this is gonna work.

EVs are not ready to replace ICE vehicles. Electric can be great on an individual basis, but the grid can't support it as an alternative to what we have.

I suspect 2035 will become 2050 or later very soon.

Hope so...because this EV thing is a loser.

I intend to keep my diesel Jeep for a very long time.

Start saving your vegetable oil lol

Neither do you buy a big expensive home on Martha's vineyard if you are convinced the oceans are rising.
