Are you actually ready to buy an Electric Vehicle?

You’re welcome to be uninformed.

 

My wife and I really like our Honda HRV and we have no intentions of going over to an electric vehicle

 

If the EV stops using batteries, but uses hydrogen or water, it would seem to me to be a good way to go.

A system as I describe would work on your Honda. You would need to carry a few gallons of water is all.

 

Why not. You are welcome also.

 

I shall definitely have to read up on that......
hopefully Honda may come out with some variation on what you are talking about and if so we might just be tempted to trade in........ although that had not been our intention. We purchased our HRV new last year and we were planning on driving it for ten years.

 

The difference is, you practice it, I don’t. .

 

So, what’s wrong with batteries that makes people want to have to fill up at a station every 300 miles and give their money to Exxon, when many could charge their batteries with sunlight. Seriously. Where does this urge to pi$$ money away come from ?

In a single hour, the amount of power from the sun that strikes the Earth is more than the entire world consumes in an year. Why use hydrogen ?

 

At some point when their neighbor drives by in an EV and pays nothing for maintenance or fuel, gas lovers will scratch their heads and wonder, why not.

not going to happen you say ? Well, it’s up to 50% now in one town.

it uses just 10 acres of land.

 

To bad you can't use your common sense and feel like I do. I am very well informed.

 

I don’t need “ your “ version on common sense. Fix News doesn’t speak for me.

 

It's OK. You don't speak for me either.

 

That’s the last thing any sane person would want to be doing.

 

I would think putting a pistol to the side of your head and pulling the trigger would actually be the last thing.

 

Australia Transport Authority Says “No” To Tesla Battery-Powered Truck…Too Big Due To Gigantic Batteries?

Tesla “Semi” truck not approved in Australia
By AR Göhring (EIKE)

Did you know that TESLA also manufactures an e-truck? But Australia now refused to approve the “Semi”.

We recently reported on the Nikola company’s hydrogen truck. Engineers and other experts have doubts about the concept because the extremely volatile gas requires significantly more complicated technology and a whole new infrastructure that doesn’t even begin to exist. What that means for transportation costs is easy to calculate.

Australia says “no”

We have already looked at similarly entertaining concepts such as solar roofs or high-voltage overhead lines over highways. But it gets even better: While it has long been known that electrical energy is best used for lighting and computing, it is not best used for wheel traction and heating, because efficiency goes down and costs go up (which is why the EU has abolished powerful home vacuum cleaners, for example).

Vehicle too big – likely because of the large batteries

Nevertheless, Elon Musk and his company Tesla manufactures not only luxury cars, but now semi-trucks. The model, which is not exactly shapely, is probably quite lavish in size due to its gigantic batteries, which is why the Australian traffic authority has refused to grant it an approval. The theoretical performance data suggest a large battery: 480 to 800 km range. . . .

 

That’s silly. The production of hydrogen pollutes unless it’s done using renewables. Now you’re back to, why not use renewables to change a battery ? Seriously, do you like pissing money away ?

 

Of course you wouldn’t trust Fauci and the cdc...unless of course you call 911. They are educated and dedicated to public service. The right only trusts uninformed people who are dedicated to making more money. Everything on the right is based on money. . The fallacy is, even that is not understood by trickle down lovers.

 

I’m talking about sane people, you’re talking about the right cultists.

 

But Fauci and CDC don't have anything to do with 911. Their education and dedication are not important to me. What they do is what is important to me. Bringing in "trickle down lovers" is akin to claiming a link between Dr Fauci and 911. Fun post, though.

 

Oh good grief. 911 is an FCC managed emergency care communications act that is recognized world wide by most governments. It’s a federal managed emergency healthcare communications service. The CDC is also a federally managed healthcare service. Here you diss the CDC, why, because it’s an arm of the federal government Just like 911 is as well which started in 1968 and maintained under every president since.. So you hate govt, but only those agencies Fix News tells you to. The right is so effin shallow and predictable.

Anthony Fauci has served as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He like 911 has been supported by the agencies and every federal government ever since.

He’s also advisor to Biden, his sixth presidential advisor since and including RONALD REAGAN, both democrat and republican .
All of a sudden the idiot savant Trump thought he knew more then Fauci about diseases and his munkin lackies have fallen in line. Funny, Reagan, Bush and Bush weren’t that stupid to think so.

Ah, the CDC helps manage 911, dah. 911 a federal mandate instituted by the FCC and directed by the CDC , both federal agencies.

read
“Last month, the Centers for Disease Control released their “Interim Guidance for Emergency Medical Services and 911 Public Safety Answering Points for COVID-19 in the United States.”

 

Of course making batteries and solar cells takes energy which sometimes comes from fossil fuels. The difference is, it’s a one time use where making hydrogen is done continuously like petroleum, to power automobiles. Right now, making hydrogen cheaply and by renewable energy sources, does not exist, anywhere. Hydrogen does hav3 possible uses in long haul, trains and ever airline travel.....but very limited for private transportation.....and then only as a power source for EVs.

 

Management and guidance are not the same thing.

 

so what’s your point ? You don’t like a Fauci and you don’t trust the cdc. Is that just when they were under Biden and not Reagan or Bush ? Cause either way, it’s pretty petty. They don’t change personell much either way. Fauci has been advisor for all six presidents and its the same deep state since.

 

I don't have a high opinion of federal government in the first place. It has nothing to do with the party in power. I used to view CDC as one of the few effective federal agencies. Covid taught me the truth. Fauci provides advice based on the whims of politics. Not very useful. I prefer to get my medical advice from practicing physicians.

 

Fauci became a politician some 6 presidents back. And showed us he still is a politician.
