Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

You’re the only one inferring any questioning of your facts as signs of stupidity.
Everyone else is being pretty cool.

They're not my facts.

 

[Frankenkubota]

Global warming due to human behavior is a fact. Another fact is, we are gonna use the cheapest easiest thing there is, in any and all cases, and hope for the best.

I've been watching "save the rainforests" documentaries for 50 years. It's an industry onto itself.

As some one else said, feel good BS.

 

[Hay Dude]

True, but if someone’s not in lockstep with what you are parroting off CNN, the Atlantic, or the Ivy League faculty lounge, you are labeling them.
That’s not respectful discussion.
Unfortunately, this type of social discourse is pervasive in social media today and tearing us apart.

Of course it is, but what should we do, stop exhaling because it creates a .000000000000000000000000001% contribution to global warming? Lol
Mere existence of humanity creates some global warming, but there’s no reason to go into freak-out mode (I’m not saying you are, but some are).
Some global warming doesn’t mean the world is going to end in 10 years! We have been told this in 4 previous decades 90’s, 2000’s, 2010’s, now 2020’s.........”world will end in 10 years unless we spend 7 trillion on [insert list here]”. When will someone call out those who were wrong?
Yet here we are, still debating their same fear mongering. The world is not going to end in 10 years!

Im all for cleaning up exhaust and EVs. I drive a diesel truck with probably $10,000 extra cost added in DEF/DPF equipment, decreasing reliability and increasing cost. If a reliable EV truck comes along, I would probably buy it!
I just think we all need to take a breath and realize there are more sinister powers at play here and we need to take the blinders off. We have to be careful we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water spending trillions “saving” an environment that doesn’t need that much “saving”.

AOC said 12 years, almost 3 years ago......so maybe 9 years now?
I'm not really very concerned.
Probably won't make it to 89 anyway!

I hope you do, your wisdom is needed more than ever!

Thank you!

And if I havent said it before, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE and SACRIFICE! (I would insert an emoji, but theres no patriotic emojis) hahahahaha

Canoo has their investor relations day this Thursday at the Texas Motor Speedway. Updates on vehicles, including crash/safety testing, and a chance for outsiders to get their hands on the vehicles. Lifestyle van, delivery van (MPDV), and the truck.
Hopefully will hear reports on possible manufacturing sites and partners, pre order numbers, and updates on timelines for each vehicle.
Rumors about a sedan also sprouted up two weeks ago.
All of the above vehicles use the same chassis.

I really like that pickup and hope they make it. I saw that the CEO just went over to Apple to help develop their upcoming EV but I'm not sure if that's a positive or a negative. If nothing else it's a good example of the design freedom EVs offer and gets people thinking more broadly about what a vehicle can be.

Inventor of the graphite anode – key Li-ion battery tech – says he can now charge an electric car in 10 minutes

This article is about a guy with a 50 year history working with Lithium batteries currently enabling much faster charging technology.

So what do you do if you have an EV but run out of juice on the side of the road? Or you operate machinery at locations with no charger for weeks at a time? Or you live some place where a plug isn't always accessible? No problem, they'll just bring the charger to you. For $25 bucks a month they'll come out and charge your EV once a day:

ChargeUp mobile app brings fast-charging to you for $25 a month

SparkCharge's "charging as a service" solution brings the EV charger to drivers when and where they need it.

That's sorta like the fuel oil guy coming out and filling the tank next to the house. People are so inventive when it comes to making a buck.

 

[goeduck]

I watched a special about China controlling 80% of the world's battery raw materials that we have been discussing. Scary.

...Global warming due to human behavior is a fact...

LMAO...!

It's clearly obvious that SOME folks have absolutely NO clue between the difference of an actual fact and supposition...

Would you like to explain what this has to do with battery powered vehicles?

As nearly as I could tell, Fauci's email was factually correct. Masks are to keep infected people from spewing their disease on other people. This was reported ad infinitum in the MSM.

For one thing the e-mails that disclosed the information I cited was only released a couple weeks ago via the freedom of information act...DOH...!

The gist was pointing out the fact that so many people are so gullible they just believe something because they are told so...(no minds of their own)...

Believing the crap you are spewing does nothing but prove my point about how gullible people can be...

You can live in your fantasy world and believe what you want but most of the garbage you are posting is just that...garbage...!

Pine would you consider starting your own thread?

This site is a business and it should be respected and it's rules should be respected. Personal attacks on others are uncalled for and it just shows abuse towards a free opportunity for people to communicate about the subject of the thread heading.

Some people just can't handle the truth...
Lets see... a person posts some bad and maybe even harmful information about say the use of a piece of equipment or a harmful way to wire something electrical etc., etc., etc... they will get jumped on all over and sent to school by the herd here...but it's not OK to criticize someone for posting unproven theories, conjecture and suppositions as facts ???

double standard or just plain old hypocrisy ??

As far as the subject...just following the derivative drift...

A mail vehicle could also be set up with regenerative braking which would be a perfect use of an electric vehicle.

Yes, but 1) non-EV drivers think regenerative braking solves all the word's problems. 2) There are no EVs without regenerative braking. 3) Only about 30% of the energy used to get up to speed is recovered slowing. So "it ain't all that great."

Even if they have a 75 mile range, they shouldn't have any problem handling a 30 to 40 mile route.

Exactly. It is a non-issue. It is a matter of "change means more work for us" lazy unmotivated government employees. "No waves", according to Sgt. Orville C. King, "No Time For Sergeants" (1958)

Another one bites the dust:

From the WSJ


Lordstown Motors Leaders Resign Amid Faulty Disclosures

The electric-truck startup said CEO Steve Burns and CFO Julio Rodriguez have stepped down after a special committee found that some disclosures the company made about truck preorders were inaccurate

Shocking. Just..... Shocking, I tell you
