EV’s

[AlbertaFarmer5]

As anyone with any common Sense has been saying all along, governments will inevitably find a way to put a road to tax on to electric vehicles. California is trying to find a way to track your mileage so they can tax electric vehicles based on mileage.

So not only did they ruin the affordability and reliability of the electricity needed to charge the EVS, by destroying fossil fuel and nuclear plants and sabotaging by adding wind and solar, now they will add a tax per mile to the electric vehicles. Tell me again how much cheaper it is to drive an electric vehicle

Ha ha ha....Road Tax for road wrecking, tire wearing EV's! To be fair HAS to be greater than ICE.

Maybe they replace incredibly heavy inefficient batteries with solar panels strapped to car roofs
should solve the problems

Can't drive at night, less charge when cloudy...and we all know lithium batteries hold less charge as they age. Range goes to SFA.

And when its -35 you will freeze to death on the side of the road some night

Well looks like even if you find a charging station, inner city heathens have probably already helped themselves.

But to make sure thieves dont steal your EVs copper, keep it parked securely inside your garage.

So ICE vehicles never stop working in -35 and strand drivers on the side of the road?

In a cold snap the tow trucks are very busy with cold weather rescues because the 12V batteries die and vehicles won't start.

EVs are actually more reliable because of electric motors. Their range is reduced but many warm the cabin and batteries while plugged in before they leave.

And most commutes are under 15km.

How often do your electric motors in a cleaning plant or on an auger or conveyor freeze up?

You’re saying the ICE vehicle weakness is relying on an electrical battery then? Hmmm.

This is news to you blue that 12 V batteries fail in cold weather?
