Coastie Patriot User ID: 78683711 United States 06/09/2023 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Mr. Bean (atkinson) Actor Says the Electric Car ‘Honeymoon’ Is Over. Benefits dont add up. He has masters in elctrical engineering The actor and comedian behind the popular Mr. Bean character has called on drivers to hold off buying an electric vehicle (EV), saying the environmental benefits do not stack up. Rowan Atkinson, a long-time motor enthusiast with a degree and master’s in electrical engineering, said current EV technology was more harmful to the environment than it was worth. “Increasingly, I’m feeling that our honeymoon with electric cars is coming to an end, and that’s no bad thing: we’re realising that a wider range of options need to be explored if we’re going to properly address the very serious environmental problems that our use of the motor car has created,” Atkinson wrote in The Guardian newspaper. He pointed to figures released by automotive giant Volvo revealing that greenhouse gas emissions during the EV production process were 70 percent higher than building a petrol car. “How so?” Atkinson said. “The problem lies with the lithium-ion batteries fitted currently to nearly all-electric vehicles: they’re absurdly heavy, huge amounts of energy are required to make them, and they are estimated to last only upwards of 10 years. He also pointed to current efforts to develop newer technologies, like solid-state batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and synthetic fuels, but noted more time was needed before they became mainstream. Atkinson said a bigger problem beyond technology was the current three-year leasing model for car ownership, where owners move onto a new car at the end of the timeframe. “This seems an outrageously profligate use of the world’s natural resources when you consider what great condition a three-year-old car is in,” Atkinson said, saying owners could just learn to use their cars for longer instead, effectively lowering demand for new vehicles.

You could drive a new efficient ICE vehicle like a Mazda 3 over 200k miles before the CO2 emissions would be higher than electric version given an electric car will need a new battery 2 times for 200k miles.

He has masters in elctrical engineering THE ANSWER: Nothing wrong with an EV in concept, but supporting day to day operation of the SOB is where the issues start. Solar Cell technology is the answer to EVs. We need solar panels that are capable of charging the thing automatically, while driving and parked. Incorporate that into an EV, I’ll buy one that very instant!!

Benefits dont add up. He has masters in elctrical engineering Lithium ion batteries are garbage but I don't see how they can cause more pollution than a combustion engine Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77056301 Because they use rare earths - which basically means pulverizing tons and tons of ore and then chemically extracting the minute quantities of the desired element An EV will need to be driven 60,000 miles before it will have an equivalent foot print of a gas vehicle - and that is ONLY if the EV is charged 100% from renewable resources ( which have their own carbon footprint) If you charge from a fossil plant its even worse The problem with leftists is tat they are like cavemen. If they find a berry bush they assume the berry bush is "theirs" - no one planted it or tended it. Same goes for a Factory, or a EV They never ask "how did this get here and at what cost?" - nope its always " its here now, so its mine."

Solar Cell technology is the answer to EVs. We need solar panels that are capable of charging the thing automatically, while driving and parked. Incorporate that into an EV, I’ll buy one that very instant!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85942921 Locomotion is very energy intensive. EV batteries tend to be 60 KW-HR or larger. TO fully charge such a battery from current solar tech would require a 12K array.-This is around 32 3x5 panels with current tech. Current panels convert about 25% of the energy hitting them to electric power. If you could make them 100% efficient - you would still need 8 of those imaginary panels to keep a charge full charge and only if they were in full sun all day long. And those are the "summer" numbers. Way worse in the winter The hybrid engines are a good idea - but 100% EV makes no sense. The bettery tech just isn't good enough. We need something 50% lighter for the same power density and which doesn't wear out after 10-15 years, and which can be charged in freezing temps ( lithium chemistries CANNOT be safely chaged when below freezing) The is a new Sodium chemistry that China is releasing in EVs this year and that will help - Sodium is far easier to come by than Lithium and battery costs are expected to be 1/2 what they are for equivalent performance ( I have yet to see any commercial offering - I want them for my Solar array.. )

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78714713 Because the current technology is very new and they are just commercializing it this year? As with any new tech -- we will have to see how it does in real life, but if it pans out it will certainly displace lithium is a number of applications.

They know EV's are shite and not feasible but when they stop the production of gas & diesel cars along with the production of fossil fuels, it's over. They win. And no one is going to step up to stop them. We'll all just follow along bitching the whole way like a bunch of fat, weak, cunts.
