War on Diesel?

History will also prove, every time fuel cost go up, they never return.

I have no idea how an electric car is "Green" minded.
IMO, it rapes the earth in a most horribly way mining for battery chemicals.
Requires the same plastic, rubber, carpeting, insulation, and more that are petroleum based.
Still not much is recyclable.

It's a wraith, and still counter to the E cause.

Why is this forced on people who don't want it or can not afford it.

I m not a big fan of EV but in all fairness there are now fast charging stations that will recharge EVs in about 30’ so you can go on with your trip. Still takes much longer than filling up a tank…

Watched a video of two young ladies try to make it from Texas, a few states north and back over a weekend.
What a calamity. Can you imagine stopping to charge and waiting 2-4 hours for a full charge? They had to take some partial charges so to keep on the road.
They spent many hours of their trip just sitting and waiting for a charge.
Just back in time for one of the girls to walk into work, with road fiz and rage.

Free??
Texas will be enduring rolling brown outs again this summer.
The electric grids and infrastructure can not deal with what there is now. Yea, go ahead and plug in just another 100 cars in Texas.
Lets see who your understanding neighbors, really are when their home A/C cycles off...

I wonder if that fast charging requires 480V. If so most homes will not have that available.

I do not know the Amp requirement for a Tesla, Anybody have that figure?

My first thoughts;
Most homes are wired for 100 Amp service. Larger homes can have 200Amp service.
The monster of a transformer to deliver a 408V charge AND the required amperage for the batteries to charge in a quick fashion, can not happen at a regular home.

While the current president has chosen to malign and vilify those who provide the energy to power our lives and the fuel to transport literally everything, everywhere, I can’t help but wonder what his minions understand about the seedy underbelly of the green energy movement.
Do they understand what it will take from the earths resources to build the batteries, inverters, chargers, and solar panels on the scale needed “to transition from the oil industry” if that’s even possible? How do you build battery cases and solar panels without oil? How do you get plastic materials for electric cars without oil?
Home charging? Great for some. Short commute? Great also. Might be great for a DC political operative or anyone else who can afford it.
California is ground zero for green energy groupthink. California also leads the nation in population and poverty. There are millions of poor working class people living in apartments. Many live in overcrowded conditions and literally hundreds of thousands of cars (probably millions actually) are parked on the streets at night. When they transition to their $75,000 electric cars how will they charge them?
And do green energy voters understand the movement is about money and profit just like oil and gas? You know the politicians pushing it sure do. Including the sock puppet in the White House.

200A leaves nothing for the house.

There are a lot of voters who worship the green energy movement. It’s become the religion of the left. And they are hell bent on spreading the word. They will continue to support it even as energy shortages become more common and transportation costs cause inflation to spiral even more out of control. They are devout in their belief.

Now, I think anyone or any company that wants to buy electric vehicles should buy them. Want solar on your property? Go for it.

My problem is the government’s gun-to-the-head approach to force an irrational change to entire energy markets. A change that for all intents and purposes doesn’t even come close to meeting our needs. They believe if they pull back the hammer and count down from 10 the impossible will all of the sudden become possible. That’s not good enough for me.
