Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

There are multiple examples over 500,000 miles from just Tesla alone.

You will face issues over time, but they're still getting 85% (and that's me using the LOWEST number) of their original capacity.

Even if you did replace batteries after that long, people don't own their cars that long. In the used market, you'll still get another seven or so years of lesser capacity.

Even with the lesser capacity, you're still talking a range of 300+ miles on a single charge.

How often do you drive more than 300 miles in a single day?

Not very often... When you need to, you take a train, a bus, or rent a gasoline powered car - or charge once (about 30 minutes with fast charging) and nearly double that mileage in a day.

Seriously, the bullshit surrounding EVs is just plain fucking retarded.

I've done the real research. I freely admit the problems we have with EVs.

Also, for the record, our grid can handle it just fine - with a slight improvement. You need to charge your vehicle, as an average, at night. That's not universal and it doesn't mean everyone has to, but doing so means your car becomes a part of the smart grid.

Imagine instead of your power going out, your car kept your house powered. You can do that. Your car would hold about a week's worth of energy.

Now, the 99% group isn't going to use their cars to capacity. It's not like everyone's going to suddenly start driving 350 to 425 miles a day. They're gonna drive the 23 average miles they normally drive.

EVs are fucking brilliant - in many ways. Coal fired plants electricity plants need to die in a fire - but, even then, the efficiency of scale means the EV is smarter.

I'm not kidding. You would do just fine with a bottom-most model of Tesla. That's like 245 miles per charge. It charges to 85% full in about 15 minutes. So, you could even do long trips - made easier with more charging stations, but we have enough saturation. We have far more charging stations than we had 20 years in with gasoline pumps. So, we're already way ahead with that.
