But Terrell quickly encountered a bump in the road on her journey to clean driving: As a renter, she doesn’t have a private garage where she can power up overnight, and the public charging stations near her are often in use, with long wait times. On a recent day, the 23-year-old nearly ran out of power on the freeway because a public charging station she was counting on was busy.

Her vote counts as much as yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a tough time generating any sympathy for Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteThe building where I work has a garage with about 20 charging stations. If you plug in for more than 90 minutes, it hits your credit card. All the EV owners who work there set their alarms for 70 minutes, run out, unplug for 30 seconds, plug up, and start the clock all over. On weekends the savvy EV owner could do the same since they are the quick-charge type. But 5 minutes at the gas station beats 3 hours horking a free charge.
ReplyDeleteAbout time to change that battery, Steph? Got about 10 grand to spare?
ReplyDeleteIt won't surprise anyone here, to see the folks who bought these things wearing facemasks outside and alone while plugging their EVs in to a charger. There are "problems that I didn't think about" ... yeah no shit?
ReplyDeleteAround here those dorks are riding around in their EVs alone, wearing face masks.
DeleteHa Ha! Boo Wah.
ReplyDeleteChutes Magoo
The first thought of these nincompoops is, of course, the CityState/Federal .gov should be doing something about this. Sorry, you made your bed Stephanie, now lie in it. I'll bet this dumbass has a bunch of student loans she wants the rest of us to pay off for her as well.
ReplyDeleteWe're doomed.
She is a dumb as*

From my blog, for those that haven't read it.

electric cars have their place; so does cheaper energy.
ReplyDeleteIn '74, during the fuel "shortage" in the Northeast, I was working in NJ. You could run out of gas looking for an open gas station. My wife-to-be was in the Atlanta area. The only effect she reported was that stations were closed on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI was in Germany then, 15 years old and too young to drive, so I don't know how the fuel station lines were. What I do remember was the Germans not being allowed to drive on Sundays. People were walking down the middle of normally busy highways and even the autobahn for a couple three weekends.
DeleteIn Kansas we went about our business as usual. Never saw a line or a closed gas station. In fact the first time I ever saw lines for gasoline was on 9 11.
DeleteI was in Traverse City, Michigan, which was and is basically a huge tourist trap, with a summertime transient population several times as big as the permanent residents. With few tourists driving up from Detroit and Chicago due to gas shortages in _their_ towns and economic distress, half the town was unemployed and we had plenty of gas but little money to buy it.
DeleteOne of the stupid things politicians did - not only liberals, but also "conservatives" like Richard Nixon - was to heavily regulate petroleum markets in the emergency rather than letting a free market allocate fuel to who needed it enough to pay much more for it. If there was only 75% of the oil we previously had for the whole country, each town got 75% of it's normal gas deliveries - whether we needed it or not.
I read a story somewhere yesterday about a guy who supposedly drove cross country in an EV powered by a portable generator in his trunk. Probably fake news, but...

DeleteTypical non thinking Twit she is. The power plant emissions electric cars create are much more than an efficient internal combustion engine puts out. And buying without thinking about where to recharge? She should have bought a bicycle.
ReplyDeleteMan, I hope I'm alive in 15 years when this banning gas vehicle shit takes effect. Just to see the excuses.
ReplyDelete30 years ago, I lived in South Philly where everyone's parked on both sides of every street and your lucky to park a block away from you house. WTF are those kind of people going to do?
In Portland they are building many apartment complexes without ANY provisions for parking.
ReplyDeleteI believe the residents should have to sign an agreement they will NOT own a car or truck as long as they live there.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat e-cars often don't work in the real world is a feature, not a bug. Those who would rule us don't want us getting around in electric cars. They want us dependent on the public transportation they provide, and therefore able only to get to where they want us going.
