Re: “Secondly, nobody seems to want to talk about the COST of charging one of these batteries. WHAT exactly does it cost in the current electric BILL and what would be the cost of driving as in cost/mile ????”
As you can see, the effective MPG is pretty darned impressive. Right now, it doesn't quite offset the cost for a new battery ($10 to $15 thousand) every hundred thousand miles, but it comes close. When Biden drives gas prices to $10, the EV will be cheaper to drive even taking the battery replacment into account, unless your destination is more than 100 miles away - in which case it'll also cost you a lot of time and probably money for a hotel room.

An interesting thing about these EVs is that they all seem to get better mileage in the city than on the highway. You'd think that even electric cars would have considerable energy lost with each stop and start, but apparently not.

BTW, should you decide to do the math, the average cost of a kilowatt/hour in the U.S. today is 10.4¢.

WHY is it that NOBODY wants to talk about WHERE exactly is all the electric going to come from to charge these car batteries that they are pushing so hard.

We already have a grid overload in many places so this is going to be a problem.

Secondly, nobody seems to want to talk about the COST of charging one of these batteries. WHAT exactly does it cost in the current electric BILL and what would be the cost of driving as in cost/mile ????

As Fizzy noted yesterday in an oil discussion certain costs need too be known and assessed to ascertain necessary COSTS .

I have read about HOW LONG it takes to charge one of these "modern day wonders" and if ya has all night to "fill up" and don't care about a very limited range and high cost per mile driven, well you should buy two or three of them...

But the information is being intentioanlly Nnon-disclosed and not brought to the attention of the public in general..

WHAT EXACTLY is the fuel cost (electric) per mile to drive one of these feel good about yerself cause you are so stupid as to believe you are saving the earth, and atmosphere...

THAT to me is what the elephant in the room is.

WHERE is all the electric that will be needed to charge these things going to come from because THAT will be quite a substantial LOAD on the grid ? HOW MUCH money will that cost to charge a battery all night long on yer household electric, and WHAT is the cost per mile driven ?

UNtil those numbers are disclosed imo the whole thing is nothing more than a bunch of crap and feel good about yerself nonsense fromm people like the Sierra Club and Save the Planet extremists..

Just my two cents on electric cars and the big mysteries that surround them... But hurry up and get rid of our gasoline vehicles so we can pay more for driving them and run out of electric because coal is bad for generating electric as is NUCLEAR powered plants.. They only work everywhere else in the world but for some reason they are taboo in the United States...
