One of the biggest ironies is that you would think that ever one of these charging stations would have covered parking with solar panels on it to keep you cooler and to generate more power but I have yet to see a single one designed like that in person.
Diesel generators. Solar can't generate enough power.
Well, obviously. The EV owners are just mad that they have to admit their cars are actually powered by Diesel and Coal. While they sit all smug thinking "look I am so good for the environment".
No you fucking moron. You just changed where the pollution was taking place and you are even WORSE by orders of magnitude because of the massive amount of loss over high transmission lines needed to deliver that power generated a hundred or more miles away to your stupid EV.
Not just that but the vehicles are also significantly heavier meaning more energy overall needed to move them, more wear on the roads, more rubber pollution from their tires wearing down, more landfill waste from their wheel motors burning out fairly quickly and more hazardous waste from the creation and disposal of the battery packs.
Thank you. Very few appreciate the conversion losses of electric as electricity is transmitted over long wires, stepped down by transformers, converted to chemical energy, converted back to electricity, and converted to mechanical energy again. It's not very efficient.
You have to drive five hundred thousand miles with an EV to equalize the pollution of driving with gas 100k miles. Find an EV dealer that can give you a warranty of 20k miles; its impossible.
Wow, actually that's a really great point. BRB
If you or a company somehow makes money on that blatantly obvious idea ;) donate some to Poal.
Super chargers require ungodly amounts of current. PV is nowhere near that potent
Yeah, I know, I get it. Its just a ironic place that you could put a covered charging station that would take some of the heat stress off of the car charging under the panels as well as generating extra power for the grid. If they really are all-in on this why would you not do this.
Like 3 people have pointed out you cant generate enough power from some panels over a car park. I know. It is fucking obvious (not giving you shit in particular). I just feel like everyone is missing the mark on this comment.
Lol no worries, I just enjoy a good dog piling. But ya they can get a token solar panel and say "look how green we are" and don't even bother hooking it up
