EV vehicles

[jellyrug]

A neighbor down the street is big into side by sides and he and his wife go on lots of day trips in theirs.

One of his buddies traded his Polaris side by side for their EV model to try it out.....he was saying they normally did a certain trip to a town on half tank of fuel and as the guy knew this he didn't pay attention to the power usage....he got about 3/4 of the way and ran out of juice in the middle of nowhere....it didn't quite dawn on him that he couldn't make that distance on a full charge...

So the neighbor after not seeing him on the trail spun around and ended up towing him the rest of the way...when they got to their destination there were a few charging stations for EV so they plugged the thing in and had to wait 2 hrs for it to charge......so they left their wives there and he drove him back to his truck and they guy went and got it with his truck as he knew he wouldn't have enough juice to make it back even on a full charge.....

14.9 kWh with 45 miles range under ideal conditions. That won’t get you far.

Some folks are not good at interpreting numbers, I guess.

I see Canada has finally approved the Cybertruck after considering its steering by wire with conditions. Heading your way.

That's what I was thinking when I looked up it's range....some people aren't too bright.

Same as the Zero bike I rode one time......I found myself paying more attention to the range meter than the view......range anxiety is a real thing.

As for the Tesla Cybertruck.....it doesn't surprise me that it will be coming here....lots of other Teslas are running around...

Sometimes our Transport Canada baffles me....they allow these cars with signal lights in the lower rear valance that are next to impossible to see especially in the winter when they get covered in snow.....the brake lights are in a "normal" position which throws a lot of people off...

I guess we have to accept a world with all personality types. One of my neighbors met her husband, by running out of gas on the freeway. After 11 years of marriage, she still runs out of gas, occasionally.

The other day I read the snowmobile industry has stopped R&D on an electric snowmobile due to the very poor range and where snowmobiles are typically used....

I think the entire snowmobile market is about to tank personally....

Never ridden one, this looks good though.

That particular company is based in Montreal paused production and laid off over 70 workers...

I talked to the owner of this truck this morning, you don’t want to start a conversation about EV with him

Goering approves, this new vehicle is the future of transport for the people.

Events like this would do a lot to contribute to global warming.....and there are quite a few of these each year...

You probably also don't want to start a conversation about parking with this guy either.

I went to a wedding last Friday that was about 50 miles away and saw two Rivian's on the drive there. There are a lot more Tesla's here in Michigan than that but I was surprised to see the Rivian's.

Nope......

In his defense he just parked it there so I could get a picture.....but he was a genuine Canadian redneck....

The governments of the world (mostly the west) can keep telling their citizens that EV will save the planet but reality is reality......

EV pollute as much as ICE in their manufacturing process and subsequent use.
