@surreal1272 @oldshurst442 @ccap41 Guess he must be talking about this story. LOL: Photo Captures Five West Virginia Coal Miners Pushing Helpless Owner Of Electric Vehicle - The Blue State Conservative Amazing the spelling errors, but I will stay focused on the last sentence, support system. Like everything most people will charge from home. Current charging station infrastructure is at the start just like the EVs. Limited EVs, limited Charge Stations, but like everything, it will grow and expand. Facts are that many ICE auto's run out of gas even in today's society, yet at the start, gas stations were far and few between, so people ran out of gas lots of times. EVs will have the same issue and those that have service like AAA will have a charge brought to them so they can get to the next charge station.

My first real attempt at this. Please be kind, but I can take constructive criticism. Youtube is still processing the HD4k version of this, so it will look pixelated until that process is done.

I should have taken a picture I saw this morning of a stranded Trailblazer and a man behind it holding a gas can. True story. I am so sick and tired of the troll articles and posts about EVs running out of juice with a limited (overall) infrastructure support while gas powered cars still run out of gas literally across the street from a gas station (again, true story). Both are the result of simple driver error and have squat to do with the means of propulsion underneath the hood.

The average gasoline car has a 300 mile range, and I don't know a single person that fills their tank every day, 7 days a week. And if you did, assuming a $70 fill up, 7 days a week, that's $490 a week, and $25,480 per year spent on gasoline, in which case it is all the more motivation to buy an EV.

Yeah because it's not like anyone has ever run out of gas lol.

Ran out? Anyway... Those poor bastards. This is fun of talking about whataboutisms... I got my own... What about the Hellcat that outran the cops but ran out of gas? https://www.motorious.com/articles/news/hellcat-outruns-the-cops/ Not once, but twice... The article above happened in Michigan. The following video clip happened in Houston The baddies were forced to ditch the thirsty Kitty. At least the minors were able to push theirs to an outlet... Maybe instead of whining about it, doncha think its actually time to make the electrical infrastructure ready? What resource is this? Your tele-evangelical way of cryptic talk of being anti-EV aint working. It never did. But you go back at it bruh!

I live very much in the Mid West and I can't think of the last time I drove over 300 miles that wasn't a vacation. You'd leave home every day with a full charge. That 10 minute wait would only be needed when road tripping. You'd be amazed how many Teslas and now Hyundai/Kia EVs I see here.

Yeah, I missed the table showing range- none exceeds 300 miles, try to sell that in the midWest! Also was a note about charge time in 10 minutes -- HAH! Not doing that now. What about trucks or RV that tow? Reports of testing show less than 100 miles! And whatt about the pic of 5 coal miners having to push an EV to a charging point cuz it ran out! We do not have support systems ready to go all EV, nor the resources for the batteries, even the most sophistocated one!

I just read something on this and I believe the ones not included were listed under "submitted". I assume this means they've sent their proposal for the funds but it hasn't been approved yet. I have a feeling this will happen a "fair amount" with these extremely heavy EVs that are insanely quick, R1T, Hummer, Lightning. Trying to haul 8-10,000lb down from those acceleration rates is beyond the capabilities of the vehicle and physics.

What are you talking about? Every EV article talks about range AND charge times. In fact, can you supply us a review of an electric vehicle that DOESN'T mention range or charge times?

@oldshurst442 Glad you like it, I have been once, more than enough for my lifetime. Not really a city person, so could care less if a second one ever gets built. Though with that statement, I would have to say that I have never understood the attraction to dense city living. Rather live in the woods, but the wife likes her shopping mall and so suburban living on a 1/3rd of an acre lot size is for me. At least I have space.

LOL Im not invested in the Royals to give you an answer back. Oh....I do have rebuttals, but I dont give a shyte about them. I aint wasting my time for them. My country wants to make a national holiday to mourn the Queen's death on her burial to which I BEG that we dont have to. (Yeah....Id rather go to work, not sell a single french fry and lose money on that day than be forced to celebrate and mourn a royal.) The government wants all the Provinces to agree to that though. Thank the Lord I happen to live in Quebec and it wont matter if English Canada votes yes to a national mourn/holiday as Quebec doesnt give a shyte about British Royalty. It didnt have to be done better. It just had to be done. And be done quickly. And it was done quickly despite all the possible entities being involved that had their own agendas. And Im happy the Freedom Tower itself and the other WTC buildings didnt have ANY resemblance of remembering or commemorating the fallen Twin Towers like the first proposals. Im glad the Freedom Tower is a big block of pure American Skyscraper looking tall and solid like a big American athlete/boxer with its chest puffed up saying to all that were involved in those terrorist attacks, phoque you, I was down, but know Im up and stronger than before. And Im here to represent Liberty and Freedom that much louder! WTC 2 is yet to be decided upon and obviously built. But there is a skyscraper void in the skyline. I cant wait for it to rise up! The memorial is great that a building(s) built to remind us that twin towers once stood there would keep the skyline as a permanent visual scar and not propel New Yorkers and all Americans to stand proud and strong. Only to always see a scar and continue to weep. The triangular facets are very imposing and the sunlight highlights them when the rays hit them. Just my opinion. BTW, it took a decade plus, as I have read in some sources, before anybody and especially New Yorkers to warm up to the Twin Towers.

Nobody wants to talk about range or recharge time on these EVs, or where the rare earth raw materials are going to come from! Sounds to much like a lot of wishful sales hype and reality is being ignored !!!
