"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

[Irving]

That's not surprising for New York. Parking spaces are something like $700+ a month.

Well, i am going to bring the "POST A PICTURE OF YOUR LATEST PURCHASE" to here.

It wasn't the environmental or quietness that got me into this vehicle. It was financial decision. I still have one gas guzzler that I am definitely keeping, but I am now saving $ on gas, and time to wait on Costco gas station.
I only charged at a free level 2 public charging station once for about 1 hour while eating dinner. That as equivalent to about ~1 gal of gas for FREE.

One thing people do not mention is also the brake. It has Regenerative braking paddle shifter from level 0 to 3, and I can try to brake by doing that. It will convert KE to electrical energy, instead of conventional KE to heat energy (rotor and pad friction). That being said, less wear on pad and rotor for longer replacement interval.

I like the hybrid f150. They come with the regen braking. Coming down a hill with a trailer would probably net quite a bit of charge

That's what I would have thought, but it certainly didn't work out that way for the new Rivian.

Pueblo is building a steel mill that is solar powered. The mill produces rails for trains. They say it will require 750,000 solar panels to power the mill. I wouldn't be surprised if this power is also used for an electric train servicing the front range. I also wouldn't be surprised if a grid was made for EV's using this source. What do you do with all that power when you are not making steel rail?

That isn't the result I was expecting.... hmmmm

Pumped storage.

Not sure why everyone hates dinosaurs.

They sacrificed themselves so that we could enjoy internal combustion engines so I plan to honor their sacrifice as long as possible.

Yeah and we need to pump more like we did few years ago. It was -28/barrel contract?
I also do not like OpEC and Russia trying to play around with nat gas and oil supply.

Fuck EV

You will NEVER get this from EV.
