Anonymous Coward User ID: 83990686 United States 10/02/2022 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Man Plugs $80k+ Electric Truck Into His House, Finds Out It Will Take Over 4 Days to Charge Quoting: Gypo O'Leary [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. Cant wait to go on a crosscountrey Road trip in my new ehummer! |

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. |

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. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80452485 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? A. Nonymous Coward |
