We lost power for 6 hours last night in the middle of the night, after everyone had gone to bed.
I checked my ICE automobile.
It still had a full charge of gasoline.
My neighbor's Tesla?
Not so much...

Well you could have asked how much natural gas or how much coal was burned to supply him with power to charge the earth saving device. Or how much petroleum product was used to manufacture the earth saver and all it’s pieces and parts. 😊
Those charging stations will install Vaccine Passport readers and Approval To Travel authorizations at the order of the leftist authoritarian that determines it is useful.
“One of the more clueless comments I’ve seen for a while...”
Most chargers are at home. You can buy level 2 fast chargers now at Lowes or Home Depot for $699 that plug right into your stove or dryer wiring.
These idiots actually think if we did away with fossil fuels, the rest of the world will also...
Nothing is free
whoops now down to $199.00 Level 2 fast charger for home
“see post #17”
LOL! Code Toad! You trollers should really get a life!

“My car was able to recoup roughly 50% battery power while I sat down to see Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the only thing I had to suffer through were the pre-movie commercials. Plus slower charging helps preserve battery health in the long term.”
Golly. THAT’S a real enticement to switch to a “Displaced Emissions Vehicle”!
I have no objection to people/companies pursuing electric vehicles, but they need to admit they are NOT “emission free”! Or CURRENTLY as convenient as gas.
“And yes, for those that didn’t know, Shell the oil company is also in the EV charging business. So is BP, which is all really weird to think about.”
The author is quite simpleton. The shift to restaurants, travel centers and quick shops at fueling stations has a singular purpose.
So too with these ‘hubs’...particularly for a captive audience.
Liberals want us to go from having lots of fuel choices and competition for gas stations to a single monopoly utility company that they can jack the prices all the hell and control everyone.
My ‘05 F350 4x4, Super-Duty, V8 turbo-diesel, Harley edition, is the same.
Purrs like a kitten and I see no reason to change to anything else.
I can get about 500 miles per tank (30 gals).
I live in hurricane land. Electricity out for a week is common with hurricanes.
“Displaced Emissions Vehicle”
LOL!! Thanks for that!!
In the USA, most electricians are using more aluminum these days due to the cost of copper.
“My most recent electric bill charged $00.16 per kWh Including all tax, additional fees, hidden graft... Subject to change.{”
As you may already know, many States are 22 cents for electricity, and that price is subject to massive increases if EVs become the norm.
“These idiots actually think if we did away with fossil fuels, the rest of the world will also...”
We are not going away from fossil fuels. Never happen.
We are at record production for natural gas right now. Highest in oour history. Biden signed in almost 4000 new wells in 2021.
Coal production is up to the most in 20-25 years.
Don’t believe all the doom and gloom the fossil fuel companies and large corporations control the countries agenda not the politicians.
Don’t call any of us when you get stranded in your EV—we will be too busy laughing hysterically to offer any assistance.
I have a Ram EcoDiesel. I can fill up once a day and drive all day long across the country. I’ve made many trips between Denver and Florida; fill up in the morning and still have over 150 miles range at the end of the day.
