Hopefully it doesn’t happen in Texas? Nah, too many oil families there
If the plan is to really get rid of ICE new sales by 2035, then incentives for home solar, wind, whatever, better escalate quickly, and cheaply. If we’re producing our own juice, that will definitely help ‘the grid’
What year is your Giulia? I’d love an ICE version, but in these parts, service is expensive and hard to find. How’s your reliability?
Soon you will see PV-Modules on each roof and everywhere else: parking lots, farmland, lakes. In combination with batteries you can improve the worst grid. You will laugh about your energy bill, because it exposes how much you earned with your house. IRA is the catalyst and low module prices do their own for the rest of the world. The future is bright!
About as likely as everyone flushing their toilet at the same time.
2020 ti sport. 30k miles and 0 issues
It does seem a little silly? I love the idea of the 160 mile, new, 500 Abarth ‘e’, but I think when I posted it, the general whining was about the low, 160 mile range? Small EV’s still = less mileage. You can’t have your electric cake and eat it too….yet.
But you can pick up a used, BMW i3 for about .30 cents to it’s original dollar. If you like smaller, lower mileage units.
Is your daily commute 400 miles a day?
I had a meeting yesterday with a bunch of executives and higher ups who work for an american automobile manufacturer. We got off topic a bit and discussed EV's and the ICE and changeover of production. Their opinion, though not official was that we will not see the end of the ICE for 50 or more years of production. Even though manufacturers promise ev's only by 2035. the opinion is that they are telling people what they want to hear, marketing etc. But hard realities are that infrastructure and true public purchases will dictate otherwise. They also said semi's wont become EV's they will be hydrogen powered once that technology is perfected.Hopefully it doesn’t happen in Texas? Nah, too many oil families there
People are pretty silly about range.It does seem a little silly? I love the idea of the 160 mile, new, 500 Abarth ‘e’, but I think when I posted it, the general whining was about the low, 160 mile range? Small EV’s still = less mileage. You can’t have your electric cake and eat it too….yet.
Hydrogen is stupid. Its only for people who cant imagine not having to go somewhere to buy fuel at what someone else tells them it will cost.
They also commented on that same thing. When I said I want to be able to drive 1200 or more miles in 1 sitting without having to stop and charge. They told me that that is so rare that rent a car or learn to wait if EV's become that reality or you drive one for a daily driver.
Why do you want to drive 1200 miles in one sitting? Are you wearing a diaper?
Not Sleeping?
This guy is on target. I switched to EV last time gasoline spiked(2012)and got sick of seeing flagged draped coffins, some containing my former students so rich people could stay rich and was FLOORED how cheap the cost to operate was. It just worked! No fluid, filter changes, No check engine light bullshit, hell the brake pads did even show any measurable wear.
