EV accidents

Eventually it will… and that’s when I’ll buy one.

That have a helluva long ways to go.

Youre 40 right? Bet you wont see it in your life...or youll be to old to care.

I'm already to old to care...

Yep, that plus having (or atleast at least the equivalent of) a charging station at every gas pump. I should be able to pull up at a fueling station, plug in my car/truck, and fill a gas can without moving it.

It would be a plus if an electric tow truck can bring me an electric fast charger to fill upo when I run out of power in the middle of nowhere. Like how AAA will bring you a few gallons of gas to get to a filling station.

That have a helluva long ways to go.

I ain't far behind. If I do, I do. If I don't, I don't.

Hell, by then we'll all be living to 200 and able to upload and download out minds into the matrix. I'll upload then download into a cybernetic body and enjoy those EVs when they come about, atleast for as long as my batteries last.

45… but this As long as it gets me where I need to go.

I'm already to old to care...

F it. If they mandate electric, I'm going back to horses.

You can't make me participate.

I’d get a hovercraft if I were you.

That's honestly an awesome idea. And sort of an ultimate troll move. Are you really "driving" on a road if you're hovering above it? Hmmmmm?

Exactly.

I unironically live my life like this.

 

[superj]

i think it would be awesome if electric cars were actually as usable as they try to push on people. i just don't see it happening in my life, unfortunately. i still consider getting my wife one for around town just because she never drives her car out of corpus.

Average US driver drives 50 miles a day, not sure how "range" is a downside for 90% of the population

EVs convert minimum 77% of stored energy to power the wheels, many are 85% efficient
As said, ICE using gasoline maybe 30%, diesel 40%, efficient

If you want to include production of electricity to "fuel" EVs, then also include production of gasoline and diesel, neither has good numbers, but unlike oil refining, electric does have hydro-electricity and solar/wind, so overall direct electric is less polluting, also more energy efficient

When you include EV Battery production also include ALL the oil changes required for ICE over 10 years, 12 quarts a year is 120 quarts of oil that had to be refined and then deposed of, just for the engine, along with the fuel refining
"Synthetic oils are typically created from chemically modified materials such as petroleum components, but the base material is almost always distilled crude oil."
No, synthetic doesn't give you an "out", lol


No one is forcing EVs on anyone, its called marketing, same as "supersize me", lol
And if you want your ICE vehicles, like me, then you will be telling all your neighbors and friends(well acquaintances) to look at EVs and Hybrids ASAP
Why?
Because gas/diesel is truly supply and demand, as demand goes down so does the price YOU PAY
Don't cut off your nose to spite your face
Get on the bandwagon and SELL THOSE EVs
You will never have to wait for an open gas pump at a station again

Untill the price of gas gets so cheap its not worth producing anymore...thats what scares me.

Ive already told myself if it looks like i wont be able to drive IC the rest of my driving life im buying probably a nice mid 90s F series, and hoarding all the mechanical/body parts i may need for the rest of my life, and parking it in the barn untill whatever im currently driving at the time is completly dead and unfixable

Ill convert to propane and run it off grill cylinders or fill up at the little airport 20 mi away if i have to.

An EV will never be piloted by me. Ever.

Oh and if the state or feds try to keep my from tagging it ill drive illegal.

This is a valid form of winning debates.
