If EV's don't burn you alive, they'll kill you by virtue of the large alternating magnetic fields they produce. Jack Kruse can't even go into a Tesla dealership. The security guards give him and his Tesla Meter the 'bum's rush' to the curb!
A great way to lock citizens into 15 minute cities. Their cars c@nt go far so why bother. You will be allowed only so many miles anyway in any vehicle but EVs are ready made for human lockdown.
The total costs are obviously much higher, and how this point escapes the enthusiasts is beyond me. Somehow, the psychopaths continue to grow this idea, another inconvenient and costly wrench they are throwing into our efficiency and wealth. Fantastic post.
Loved this article, especially the 1st line. My son came to me (as he was in awe of that fake-out genius Musk) and said he was saving up for, and his next car would be, a Tesla. And charge it where, I asked. Then said he would have a charger installed in his garage. At what cost I asked. Did you know that you would have to upgrade to a new model before 5 years is up? No, he said. That's a running car payment for the rest of your life, I said. Other than paying off a mortgage, what could be better than zero car payments, I asked. Haven't heard a word since. Think I'll just mosey on this article to him.
Also, if you travel in a Tesla, on a hot summer day, the glass ceiling gets so hot it makes your brain boil. We were in a Tesla UBER in Lisbon, last summer, for less than 30 minutes, and I felt si sick when I came back. And I used to love Teslas and their 0-100km/h time.

REPLY: Same is true with Cell Phones. People who purchase them are never told it is a "broadcast device" and owning it means you give up your right to privacy. At least that is the way the TeleCom folks see it. They happily spy on all cell phone users and sell what data they capture as icing on the cake of your purchase and subscription to their cell phone service.
I don't own one. Never have never will. My privacy is priceless. Wired service only, both phone and Internet. I have been arguing with MaBell/ATT about this as they want me to migrate to "Internet Air". They are not happy when I tell them my privacy is forfeit. Not happening. Copper wires have legal privacy backed into them.
I hope that fiber optic cables will have the same baked in legal protection as wired phones. They should. They do not broadcast the data they carry as do wifi.
Note a side benefit. No EMF with low voltage wire communication. Should be the same for fiber optic.
Don't let Ma Bell bully you. They have no legislative power (unless they bribe legislators). I submit they have no right to spy on you regardless of your status as a cell phone user. They can use that as a fig leaf in a legal contest between a person and Ma Bell in a court of law. But I don't think it will fly.
Add in the fact that enclosed parking garages are starting to exclude EVs, due to the inability to control a fire and the resultant insurance implications. And the fact that EV Semis have shut down freeways for hours (like half a day!), since you have to wait for the fire to burn itself out - and that means one side of the freeway gets shut down, and the other side slows to a crawl as everyone gawks at the spectacle.
If EVs have a future, it needs to be without the safety issues surrounding lithium.
Please do a deep dive on the EMF exposure from EVs as well as from the charging stations. I've heard a charging station in someone's garage is zapping people 4-5 houses away with unhealthy amounts of EMF. True?
Aftermarket sales of the batteries pose a risk for all of us, as people snatch them up for off grid storage. Li batteries are unsafe. Full stop. There is no way to put out the fires. They must burn themselves out.
I have not read this stack yet. The Links that follow are relevant. Please NOTE these vehicles are very different from EVs. They are very different from Hydrogen fuel cells. Worth checking out. I don't work for Toyota or have any financial relationship with them.
I bought an EV many years ago and still have it. It’s a lot of fun and we use it on the weekends for running errands. It’s super convenient and I like the fact that I can home charge and it’s always got “a full tank”.
I agree with a lot of what you presented, particularly the problems with mining materials for the batteries. I got my EV because it is fun to drive and, working from home I don’t drive much. I’ve only charged it from home and we have other ICE vehicles for longer trips. EV’s can be good options for some people but they are definitely not some sort of “solution”.
The first 3 points, on charging time vs gas fillup, are very interesting. Separate pipes from underground gas tanks to each pump so no slow-down during busy times. I was familiar with the other points, but would add that I personally wouldn't park an EV in my garage, even though the spontaneous fires are rare. And if I owned a parking garage, I wouldn't allow EVs in it.
Last year I rented a Tesla for a week on a business trip. Loved it started researching Tesla’s bought a new updated model three this year and will never go back. If you’ve never driven one, then I understand I have 300 miles of range every morning, which means I never stop for gas. I put a splitter on my clothes dryer and every night at 11 my car goes to 100%. and I never thought I would have this much fun at 70 driving and going on road trips with my wife who loves it just as much. She also prefers full self driving and says it drives better than me. Can argue with that I do drive a little faster now because I can just wanted to get a different perspective in the comments
Do you live where the temperatures are mild? I live near Chicago Illinois, where winters get really cold. Last year many electric vehicles were stranded because the cars wouldn't charge correctly and some people ran out of charge on the road, because it took so much energy to run the heater, that it depleted the battery

Nothing like connect the dots. Hahah good work CM.

Thank you for sharing your experience and life style.
More and more people SHOULD be following your lead as each day passes, but I am not seeing or hearing that happening.
I have a couple steps remaining until I am fully wire connected.
Thanks again 🙏🥰

What about the weight of the EV compared with ICE vehicles and the additional damage they do to roads plus the cost of their tyres?
Good day Unbekoming and Commentariat,

What else isn't the government telling us? Everything. Without subsidies and perks, EVs go the way of the dino and I say good riddance.
Definitely would add weight as a major issue. +50%
