The other claims were not rebutted

No I’m pretty sure they only show one article per post or u just cropped em out

maybe conservatards should buy an electric car? much cheaper than gas :)

Maybe libtards should check into a little thing called cradle to grave impact on the environment, for their electric cars. I guess strip mining the pristine environment is okay, as long as libtards get to feel good about not polluting the air? It's all about feeling with them.

While I'm not a conservative, four years of mindless Trump bashing have pretty much ensured I will never vote liberal again.

EV manufacturing pollution payback is 2 years. Batteries are sent to utilities for grid balancing when they can no longer push a car. Any other conservatard talking myths you'd like debunked?

Promoting electric cars after the recent electric grid disaster in Texas. LMAO

texas grid failed because its an unregulated free market shit show.

electric cars could have kept the lights ON in texas. but conservatards are too stupid to embrace reality. https://i.imgflip.com/52kvui.jpg

IF you can charge it. There is not the proper infrastructure to make owning them feasible for most. You need a special set up to charge it with any sort of efficiency, not a standard outlet. And if you live in an apartment building, rather than own your own home, forget about it. Used Nissan leafs are going dirt cheap, because hippie owners who wanted to save the world realized they were virtually useless to own.

I drove Leaf on 400 mile trips. Plenty of charging stations along the way, just needed to stop every hour or 60 miles for about 20 minutes to fill up while peeing and eating. Sure, it added about 4 hours, but how often do you make long trips? Most people only once a year. Worth it for 50 cents a gallon electricity at home. All the stations in the world are on plugshare.com

I cant charge it at home because i live in an apartment. So Id have to make an almost daily trip out of my way, and wait at least 30 min (most estimates are for even longer) for it to charge. The charging station isn't at a shopping center or near anything else i could do to kill time while it charges. I looked into it because leafs are dirt cheap (no one wants them), but there is no way it would work. It would be every bit as inconvenient as taking the bus is.

if your apartment refuses to add a simple outdoor wall outlet which will give you 5 miles of range per hour for 11 cents an hour, (1.1kw x 10 cents per kw) then it's not the right car for you at this time.

And what is the source of the electricity that charges your electric car? Most likely it is nuclear, coal or hydroelectric. Much less likely would be wind or solar.

And what kind of environmental impact does it cause to 1) mine for lithium and 2) dispose of a lithium battery after it gives out?

As it turns out an old gasoline powered clunker is much better for the environment then an electric vehicle. Look it up. Don't take my word for it.

that was true 10-15 years ago. but today, pollution payback, which includes mining, is only 2 years. 1 smokestack is cleaner than 10,000 tailpipes. the grid is getting cleaner all the time, old dirty power is being retired, wind/solar and storage are coming online. nuclear can't survive without government insurance because private insurers won't cover them. hence they are the most expensive subsidized source while solar is now the cheapest. battery prices are also falling and will be at parity with gas cars in a year or 2. you can see what your state is doing on electricitymap.org

At this time it is an infrastructure issue. It doesn't matter how good the cars are when the proper infrastructure isn't there. And I don't realistically think that cities that cant even provide restrooms so the homeless don't shit in the street are going to provide a vast network of charging stations.

works for me. maybe it's just the city you live in? the chevy volt unfortunately didn't have quick charge, which makes it useless for renters. infrastructure is NOT a problem for the majority of people who live in houses. infrastructure is NOT a problem on long distance freeways across the country. it's only a problem for renters and that will be addressed over time.

Most (or at least many) people live in apartments without dedicated parking (street parking only). The competition for a parking spots is fierce. Even if ONE outlet were added to accomodate an electric car, the odds of the electric car getting the spot near it are nil. I'm not saying no one should get an electric car, but for most people it is not realistic. Cities would have to add charging outlets along the streets and major shopping centers would have to equip their spots with charging stations. Cities would have to practically be rebuilt to cater to electric vehicles if we expect everyone to go electric.
Also, what happens if your car runs out of electricity? You can't exactly grab a can of electricity to give it enough juice ti get to the charging station like you can with gas.

some tow trucks are getting equipped with backup batteries for EVs who run out. roadside assistance includes free towing to charging stations. all light posts have outlet covers that can be easily retrofitted to allow an EV to plug in curbside. there ARE ways to accommodate renters. it WILL happen. we are NOT going back to gasoline or horse and buggy no matter how hard the right wing tries. they have a lot to lose in oil stocks and investments, but that's not our problem. society is owed a better way.

also, there are induction charge pads that can be laid under cars in a 4 square zone of parking spaces near one with a wire or permanently installed under specific parking spaces or buried in pavement. the buried ones can prevent non-EV stealing of power (compared to a wall outlet) and the ones buried in mile long stretches of freeway can allow charging on the fly. it WILL happen.
