Did You Hear the One about the Guy who Bought the 85K Electric Hummer?
Man Plugs $80k+ Electric Truck Into His House, Finds Out It Will Take Over 4 Days to Charge
[link to thefederalistpapers.org (secure)]

You’ve gone green and you’ve done it in style with the GMC Hummer, starting at $86,645. That’s right — the Hummer’s now a green vehicle! What was once the biggest villain in the left’s war on fossil fuels is now the poster child for responsible off-roading.


Level 1 charging

120V charging — This is the standard current your home already offers.

“Right now it’s about 6 p.m. on Tuesday,” the man says. “And it says it will be full by Saturday at 10:55 [p.m.], which is four-plus days of charging. Wow.”

Level 2 chargers $500 without installation

240v charger - upgraded home stations which deliver a higher electricity than a home circuit would be able to deliver

“Now it says it will be done tomorrow by 6:30 [p.m.]. So about 24 hours of charging from four percent to 100 percent.”

Fast Charging at a Station

Car and Driver went to an Electrify America charging station, where it cost over $100 to “fill up” the Hummer at 43 cents per kilowatt hour.


One more thing: If you tow anything, Your range diminishes pretty big time.

Best joke I've heard in a while.

This is why fuel cells are the future and not electric vehicles. A decade down the road all these savings will be gone as electricity costs skyrocket combined with the premium to charge the vehicle faster, not to mention the costs of replacing the entire battery when a few of the cells die.

It's inefficient, not at all green, designed to make people keep consuming, the opposite of what the greenies claim. There is no "savings" with electric vehicles... quite the opposite.

Internal combustion engine, using hydrogen obtained using the now perfected gallium / aluminum reaction is the future. Once economies of scale are in place, it will be much less expensive than using gasoline or diesel. Stupid governments will stand in the way of it, I'm sure, but eventually, it will happen.

I lean toward the electric motor, which is more efficient and simpler than a combustion engine. but the electricity generated to run it needs to come from a fuel cell.

Why do you feel a combustion engine is the way to go?

Electric trucks are just as ridiculous. Can't tow anything significant without the battery going dead within 100 or so miles.

Modern battery powered vehicles are just an adult version of power wheels, and they're equally useful.

Electric vehicles remind me of how the politicians got Ethanol into fuel.. an idea that seemed good at the time to funnel money into the right pockets, but in the end using the food supply as fuel for a vehicle makes no sense.

This is the same... we have deep pockets funneling money into the right hands, and a decade down the line we are going to see how silly it was to have these large batteries that degrade over time and require massive mining for minerals and try to put them into all the world's vehicles.

Right now they are a way for the rich to pretend they are being green.

Re: Did You Hear the One about the Guy who Bought the 85K Electric Hummer?
to be fair, the 110V charging on ANY ev sucks dick.

110v chargers are compact and easy to carry with you in the vehicle as a backup / emergency use charger.

anyone who buys an EV today is told "you also need to call in an electrician and install the high output charger to properly use this vehicle"

I'm a diehard gearhead and I still like EV's, but they're largely a govt psyop and in no way can replace the existing gas powered transportation infrastructure we currently use.

luckily for you tards, the NWO architects know this too and they're factoring in a massive global depop agenda along with WW3 and great reset reducing most of humanity to impoverished serfs will more than compensate for their "green" hair brained scheme.

Number one, is there a way to pay cash for the charge?

Number two, can you be charged with vagrancy for loitering how many hours?
How much cash does one need to carry to avoid such charges?

Number 3, will zoning permit whore-houses adjacent to the charging stations?
Nothing shall be so certain as to permit confusion.
