New peak rates mean charging electric cars more expensive than petrol

New peak pricing at electric car chargepoints can leave consumers worse off than if they stuck to traditional petrol-engined vehicles, according to new analysis from the AA.

Well, makes me super happy I charge at home on my solar PV unit which means it's free to me! I've enjoyed driving effectively for free for the past 3 years! It's super cool.

I don't have solar because of my roof orientation but I love charging my EV in my garage. No trips to the gas stations for me. No toxic gas fumes. No spilling gas. No waiting in line. No paying rising gas prices.

I love my EV.

and u are stuck, cant drive 150 miles from your home


i drove to Lake of the Ozarks, a few weeks ago for a 3 night cabin stay ..420 mile round trip non stop for gas. cost me 40.00..It was super cool to be able to do that...You cant!

When I got back took me a mere 3 mins to recharge the car and Im still running on that recharge going on 3 weeks....Next week I will have to take another 3 mins and recharge at any of the 20+ stations within 5 miles from my house

Board member Joke Capitalist for one. He's a True Believer in radical Leftist insanity like EV's and no matter how much evidence you provide, he, like some evangelical bible thumping religious zealot, will deny every bit of it because it goes against his insane beliefs in radical Leftist Greentard dogma.

You have to understand, the Greentards are going to FORCE you into these things even if they have to kill you in the process. They don't care. They quite literally are religious zealots of the worst sort.

I'd love to see some EV driver do this one. I got a side job to go to Winslow AZ (Yea, the one from the song--) and inspect an office building for electrical issues. I drove from Phoenix to Prescott AZ to stop by a friend's house there before going to Winslow, then back to Phoenix all in one day. That was about a 500 mile round trip all in one day. Try doing that in your EV. The route is almost entirely remote rural territory too. No gas stations, no charging stations, nada, nothing, zip point shit.

Close...actually 300 miles on a full charge.

Wrongo. But I have no interest in driving to the Lake of the Ozarks. I spent enough time driving around podunk towns in south and south east Missouri for grad school collecting samples.

Well, you PAID for the fuel for your car. I don't.

Man, you sure couldn't do that on a horse! LOL. Can you imagine that at one time people just like you were on the warpath against ICE vehicles.

Things never change.

Wow. You sure do have a martyrdom complex don't you? You see everything you don't like personally as a direct and life-endangering threat.

Must be TERRIFYING being you. You should probably buy a bigger truck to keep yourself safe from literally EVERYTHING AROUND YOU.

A non sequitur on your part. Riddle me this Batman... Why can't EV's gain market share without huge government subsidies and forced purchase mandates? There isn't one country on the planet where government hasn't had to intervene in the market to force people to buy EV's. Why is that?

I want what works. EV's don't work. If they did, then they could flourish in the marketplace without massive government subsidies and mandates for their purchase. It is YOU that is arguing that authoritarian, totalitarian, government is a good thing, you FASCIST!
 
Pricing at Superchargers varies by location, but the cost is typically about $0.25 per kWh. A full recharge to about 250 miles of range should cost approximately $22.00.

https://evannex.com/pages/tesla-charging-information-and-answers



To go 250 miles in my Mazda 3 would cost 22.38 and would take me 3 mins to gas the car at any of the 20 stations around my house


Level 2 charging: Using a 240-volt Wall Connector, this type of charging is often the fastest available for home or office locations to charge a Tesla vehicle. A Wall Connector can provide up to 44 miles of range per hour of charging


So 5.5 hours of charging to go 250 miles vs 3 mins to put gas in your car to go 250 miles

NOT IN THE LEAST! Because you are acting out EXACTLY what was done when ICE vehicles showed up. You are using the same approach: fighting it tooth and nail and unable to even COMPREHEND why anyone would change from a perfectly workable old technology.

I don't know. Why do petroleum companies who make TONS of money off you get massive subsidies from the government?

Mine works fine. You see, there are people like me who know what the ACTUAL experience is like. Then there's YOU who knows nothing about what it is like to own and rely on one.

I'm not saying they are perfect, god no! But they are good and they WILL get better.

That's kind of what America is all about: moving the ball down the field. We invent things and we make things better. That's always been what we do.

Why are you fighting progress SO HARD?

If they did

You mean the way the first ICE car could do 0-60 in a matter of seconds, got 25 miles to the gallon, could reach top speeds of 110mph? Oh, wait, no, they were nothing like that. They were nicely appointed lawn mowers without the blades.

, then they could flourish in the marketplace without massive government subsidies and mandates for their purchase. It is YOU that is arguing that authoritarian, totalitarian, government is a good thing, you FASCIST!

See? You see technical progress as "fascism".

Have you ever actually "invented" anything? Any patents?

Actually, you don't know history. ICE vehicles were adopted willingly because they were way better than horses. Cheaper to maintain, could do more, and worked. People flocked to ICE vehicles and the horse was relegated to recreational use.

I don't know. Why do petroleum companies who make TONS of money off you get massive subsidies from the government?

Another lie you believe. Energy companies don't make tons of money off government subsidies. That's a bullshit lie propagated by the Greentard Left without basis.

Where on earth do you get this stuff? I charge my Chevy Bolt overnight from very very low to full charge.

Seriously why is this such a weird concept to you people? Do you never sleep and would never have a way to charge you car???????

I wonder why the world's economists say it is true and give actual numbers for it. Perhaps they haven't taken the time to confer with YOU.

Chevy Bolt:laugh:


Are Chevy bolts reliable?

We expect the 2023 Bolt will be much less reliable than the average new car. This prediction is based on data from 2020 and 2021 models.
