“I wonder what TeslaGator would say about this.”
Name calling against guidelines. No courtesy ping. Shame on you.
Let’s just wait till December when the blue norther’s roll in. You electric commies will be crying in your Pinot noir about lack of range.
Something I hear your wife complains about regularly…
Texans should impeach him quick, though I don't recommend replacing him with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But your call.
“”but I will concede fanricate that most EV owners don’t actually ‘drive’ their cars”
But why are you guys pushing the EV crap here? We’re not going to buy EVs unless we can see a BENEFIT and paying an extra $200 a year for a sticker is NOT a benefit.
There are still plenty of other sites where people pushing EVs are still welcome (for now) - you guys might even find one or two converts there...but not here.
They’re building massive lengths of elevated hwy in San Antonio alone.
His is for population expansion. I imagine this yearly charge is for that
If that’s the case, it’s Texans paying for the influx
If the influx also votes democrat that would be a quadruple insult
Excellent!!
Don’t they pay taxes on their electric bill?
Note her education history... no surprise there.
Way too low
Sounds reasonable.
Always with the same tired personal attacks. Low IQ people cannot seem to debate a subject without going personal. Going personal requires little thought; as I just demonstrated
Did I not mention filling MY vehicle with gas costing ~$50? Did I say I owned an EV? It’s a simple conversion to compute mileage to watts. Simply reducing the number of moving parts improves reliability. How many parts in your Internal combustion engine + transmission are allowed to fail before you come to a stop? How many parts are there?
It’s engineering
Conservative figures are ~2,000 moving parts in your typical internal combustion engine and transmission; contrasted to about 20 (twenty) in a Tesla

As for life expectancy and efficiency

Every automaker on the planet is switching to EV. Every single one. Now; who do you suppose knows more about the subject matter? Us few on the board: or every automotive engineer working at every automaker on the planet?
I am just a R&D engineer who happens to be better informed than most on Lithium battery development and new technologies on energy storage than most. I also know that more storage advancement has been made in the last 15 years than in the history of mankind. And it is not slowing down. If you wanted investment advice; I would suggest looking into Lithium supply. It is going to grow exponentially
AFAIAC, Texas and every other state can tax EVs out of existence!
EVs are a scam! A hoax!
I know, you know and they know that there is NO benefit to EVs except for the Chinese! And, the Biden Crime Family, of course!
A pox on their house!
^^^^. Exactly
When it makes economic sense for YOU; then, and only then, should YOU make the decision. Better, faster and cheaper. More reliable, more efficient, more economical, more affordable. And it needs to fit your lifestyle.
Electric appliance vehicles only. Chop you low! 😃
You should probably read down the thread a bit.
The Deep State will get around to that once they’ve banned ICE vehicles, when there isn’t enough juice to power their golf carts, and when we’re all wearing Mao jackets.
Not sure that ‘faster’ matters, since virtually all cars can operate at posted speed limits, but yes - the EVs now have to deal with people making, cold, hard, decisions based on FACTUAL differences, not emotion. And they don’t do as well on that level as gasoline cars, which are really, really, nice these days, even low-end ones.
“I wonder what TeslaGator would say about this.”
Oversized electric golf cart are teh fastar 0-60 and you are just jealous. Then post a picture of his/her cartoon car.
“EVs are dirtier for the environment.”
The environment is just fine except in big democrat cities which can’t be fixed.
