The extra weight will destroy roads faster. I do not understand now carrying an extra 3,000 lbs will increase efficiency.
Read an article about overloading the parking garages in the UK because the new vehicle weights were no figured in.
THERE IS a problem NO ONE saw coming !!!!!!
Center of mass for one. Much better hitting the Hummer than the tractor.
The followers of the religion of Climate Change Gonna Kill Us know this, and willingly sacrifice the people in Honda Civics just as they are sacrificing millions of birds to windmills.
IATG
Ban EVs instead!!!!
Show some sense!!!!
Yeah. Pretty Stoopid! My model 3 is considered one of the safest vehicles ever made. We just had one driven over a cliff and drop 250 feet. All survived. It won’t be the EV driver that gets hurt ...and the same is true when I’m driving my F 350 diesel dully😀
“300 or more miles (480 or more kilometers) of range per charge from an EV, batteries have to weigh thousands of pounds.”
That’s 10 gallons of fuel in a newer economy car. That’s about 70lbs.
As if they, or the manufacturers care. They are going to cram those cars down out throats whether we like it or not. And if we don’t like it and can’t afford it? Well, that’s our problem.
My daughter’s Model 3 seems to eat tires. I noticed that tires required had a very high psi required and perhaps she has let them get too low, but still I think she has 65k on a five year old vehicle and is on her third set.
It doesn't.
The laws of physics haven't been repealed. There's no way that generating electricity at a power plant hundreds of miles away then sending the electricity through high tension wires that generate heat, changing the voltage then running it through a charger into chemical batteries, to finally discharging those batteries and turning it into rotational energy is not hugely inefficient. All this does is move the source of the pollution from the vehicle's tailpipe to a power plant. It's a huge waste of energy stepping it through so many transformations and using it to power a vehicle that's 3000 lbs. heavier than it needs to be due to having to carry the batteries.
this is weird. how is it possible that a green vehicle could do damage? Oh, I get it...This is a slam again Elon Musk.

That is yet another unintended consequence.
They are pushing for semis to be electrified as well. Just imagine how much that is going to weigh, and how much less freight they can carry for the hundred miles or so they have between charges.
