Hi. I am all for the green energy as we have 2 windmills and ground mounted solar panels for the house. I just do not like it in cars. What did someone said that it would only cut the future temps by .0002°F is it worth it in cars. I do not know.
Many such articles on this....many small rural volunteer fire departments are really having an issue with how to deal with EV fires as many of these fire departments also have large hiways in their AOR...
The 37,000 gallon part is what struck me. It doesn't matter much where it happens, that's a lot of tanker trucks to be called up when one lights off on any roadway.
There is a chemical foam that can be used as well but it takes a lot of water to generate it.....(probably less than without it though).
Hi. They should make it so all cars can only do 20 to 25 MPH in the city and 55 MPH on the Hi ways.
Don't worry, that's coming in the future.
Hi. But in the future there will be no cars or bikes. Everthing will be coveted in soft rubber fome so if we fall down there will less chance of gitting hurt. Our new leader Hunter Biden will take care of us. All things will be made in China as he will get kick backs from them.
The gas pumps at filling stations run on electricity. If the pumps are running, so are the charging stations. Total blackout? I suppose we're all in the predicament, get the bicycle out.
Those gas stations can be run via generators and I've seen that done before....
We'll skip over the fact that during your apocalyptic blackout scenario, a quality generator can charge an EV as well. The fact that you resort to a scenario with probability similar to a scenario where Russia invades Canada and outlaws the sale of gasoline, tells me to step away from the computer and go put the Christmas stuff up.
I'm not an anti-EV, I'm just not sold on them, nor blind to their abundant weaknesses...We'll skip over the fact that during your apocalyptic blackout scenario, a quality generator can charge an EV as well.

I have 2 cars, 2 motorcycles and a scooter and they all use gasoline. I've loved internal combustion engines since I was a teenager, so I totally get it.
Just for old times sake, will you say one more time that you're not anti EV?
Happy New Year
Thanks
I know. If you knew me better you’d know I research everything, probably too much. Fact is, outside of a few rural areas power is restored pretty quickly in today’s world including Canada. That’s what I was referring to; a total blackout in large area for weeks. In ‘08 Springfield MO was hit with a massive ice storm. Blackouts through about 75% of a city of 200k people. Thing is, within 3 or 4 days or almost everyone had power back including what seemed like all places of business. In today’s world, a complete blackout for weeks has the probability I alluded to before. I know the blackout scenario is another item in the huge pile you’ve assembled in this, your thread, so have at it.
I was deployed to the ice storm in Montreal for the duration and I saw the devastation of the power grid....and it can happen any time...Thanks

I told you I really don’t care if anyone likes or dislikes EV’s. Society, like water, finds level. On this subject alone, you are almost as fun as Zerks to mess with, but with him it’s almost any subject lol.
It's his brothers but it is one serious car....I was very impressed even though it is a very expensive car.. I'm one of those nuts that will actually approach an owner and talk to them about their car if they are willing.....I've learned a lot that way-real life research.
