Well, that’s interesting

There are gasoline and more common propane forklifts. Thse facts aside, there are now and have been for a long time lots of electric forklifts in warehouses all over the country.

Are the carts of which you speak golf carts or actually vehicles equipped for short excursions on public roads?

The following is a best case scenario but still useful information:
“ In the case of the Model 3 (Long Range), [Tesla] you can charge at up to 250 kW, but the power varies. Depending on energy consumption you can get more than 15 miles (24 km) per minute.”

My truck gets 9.2mpg highway so I can go almost 300 miles on a 30 gallon tank, stop and fill up and be on the road in 10 minutes.... consistently.

Electric cars may work in a city or urban environment but not for rural America and won’t for many years to come.

Thanks for the info though!!

They are actual golf carts and many folks drive them on the roads in the village here. It’s interesting how many people opt for the gasoline powered carts rather than electric versions.

Indeed.
What is ‘conveniently’ left out of the official narrative is how/where in the hell all of these new power plants are to be built to support an entire society driving EV’s?

Try one of those electric vehicles with the A/C on down here in Florida. Right.

Actually if you could afford your own solar panels, you could charge a golf cart in FL and be pretty independent. Maybe even a small car like a Nissan Leaf.

Seems to me that auto manufacturers should have someone bright enough to realize that with widespread use of electric vehicles we would need widespread ability to in crease our electrical generating capacity. With the present administration, we are heading in the opposite direction. By the way I have only a high school education. What’s going on here? Build the electrical capacity first, then we can think about more electric vehicles.

What’s going on here?
