Oh yeah, you're tearing apart trannies in your garage I suppose? Machinist working on cam shafts are you?

Some reading for you.

Let's not forget all the inefficiency in the manufacture of those vehicles and the efficiency of the power being generated.

EV prices are dropping, price cuts recently announced.

Have any more fud?

Do you know about technology adoption cost curves? Apparently not.

The lady at work with down syndrome always says hello back to me as we pass in the halls. There's been a few bad days where it cheered me up. I'm always surprised how many people won't so when I see her coming I know I'm always gonna get a sincere enthusiastic hello back!

Not trying to be negative, but why does this matter? I'm sure most people know that any given job during such an operation could be done very well by a woman, so why is the fact that all of the jobs were done by women have a positive impact?

I disagree and would love to read some professional articles that have evidence and reference to fact for what you are saying.

I'm in the electrical industry and we are being told the opposit.

Also charging at home becomes difficult when many park on the street.

The luxury cars produced now will be affordable, used cars in 5 years. Remember most EVs will far outlast the ICE cars everyone is used to. 500k mile lifecycle will be commonplace.

EVs will keep getting cheaper. The trend has just started. That's how tech adoption works. There will be a $25k EV made by every large manufacturer. Thirst that don't will no longer exist.

Already more than 10% of cars are electric or electrified. The profit margins are no longer there to support the ICE car manufacturing process.

If you had to build a product with 10k parts and compete with a guy making his out of 2k parts, how long could you stay in business?

> There isn't enough green energy available so we would be using fossil fuels to charge a vehicle so they don't use fossil fuels

From what I recall, the efficiency of gas ICE vehicles' engines is so bad (less than 30% energy used) that even if you used a oil driven electric generator to charge a electric vehicles that would still be more energy efficient overall.

It doesn't matter that we would, for now, have to generate energy via non-green power plants, because the overall energy efficiency would still be better (60% energy efficiency) Also, it's far easier to handle pollution in a single place than to have each individual vehicle having their half-assed filters.

People also forget the energy lost converting oil to gas, and also the distribution itself creates pollution

False on all counts.

Lithium is incredibly abundant, and besides that, battery tech is evolving to eliminate rare components like cobalt and shift to sodium and iron, which are even cheaper. Next cones solid state batteries that will be more powerful, safer, and last even longer.

Most EV owners charge at home on standard infrastructure.

Night time load (when EVs are usually charging) helps utilities and actually smooths out grid loads and electricity pricing.

That's why you have companies competing with each other.

There are safeties and guarantees with transactional relationships that random strangers cannot provide. A lot of manipulators start off by acting "friendly" to lure in victims.

Yeah nah.

By forcing people in to buying them, companies will realise they don't actually need to lower prices as they scale up.

More posturing that won’t happen

Yea, they should, but they wont.

Correct. But still. Pretty birds!

If you’re in Denver/ Englewood on South Broadway check out Brewabilities and I’ll bet you meet someone equally as cool as this fellow.
