How much does it cost to install a charge station?

Cool. Just popped into my head when I read your comment. I almost didn't post it. Glad you appreciated it.

Enjoy the brownouts and blackouts.

1. Make the cars cheaper
2. Make replacement batteries (accident or age) not $20k
3. Make promises that future kW and charging fees won't surpass what the norms were for gasoline

I love this.

Just because the current wave of batteries and batteries from 10 years ago are called lithium ion doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Kinda like saying rubber tires 100 years ago are the same as rubber tires now

Quite a stretch of a statement there.

That's kinda like saying a smartphone using a lithium ion battery from 10 years ago is about as dense as a current smartphone lithium ion battery

The fact that we’re still using lithium ion jfc man just nvm you’re clearly just looking for a combative argument and I’m not trying to fight. Good nite

You know what I mean. Of course I’m not being literal. We have made no significant advancements in battery technology in a long time.

Truly, we still use the voltaic pile even to this day. I drag my 300 kg mobile phone around with me and have to regularly swap out the vinegar soaked sheets of fabric to keep the screen on.

Yeah you gotta be able to charge at home. Way cheaper too

However fleeting the moments, with enough of them, the faith can seem continuous.

I tutor people w all kinds of disabilities: they are all absolutely wonderful, refreshing, kind, and funny. I’d take 90% of them over some of my able-bodied friends.

Thats what 144 month car loans are for. You can afford it because you are not buying gas, duh! Also less maintenance. Its practically free.

What EVs are readily available (outside of tesla) that are around the size of a normal car, civic, sentra, accord, camry... that are similar price to the ice versions I just named? (Maybe some of those have an ev version?)

Great news but good luck

Yes. Lithium is also a finite resource that we probably aren't doing a fantastic job of managing.

😭😭😭

Making money will also require making products that more people can afford to buy. Aside from the luxury or specialist brands, carmakers will be forced to offer cheaper cars in order to reach more segments of the market.

Here in the US, it's already happening. EVs starting at $30K USD or even less are beginning to appear. That would have been unheard of even 3-5 years ago.
