TESLA WAS NAMED THE CHEAPEST LUXURY CAR BRAND TO MAINTAIN. MAGA WETS PANTIES.

EVS KEEP GETTING CHEAPER

There have been teething problems with EVs, because they are so new, but the basic idea is simpler and cheaper than a ICE. It is going to continue to fall in price, and become more maintainable. ICEs are not getting much better.

ICEs had worse teething problems. EVs have the roads, and electric grid already in place. Both could be improved, but they exist. ICEs had no roads, and no gasoline stations.

You would think that a hybrid would be more complex than a ICE, after all it includes both a ICE and a EV. If the design is clever, a hybrid can actually simpler than a ICE. You can remove much of the transmission of power from the ICE to the wheels and replace it with a simpler EV motor. We have seen diesel electric trains do just that.

It is sad to watch the alt right claim that electric motors can never pull huge loads, when all the biggest land transportation is handled by electric motors. Whether it is the diesel electric motors that pull thousands of tons trains, or the electric motors in the huge mining trucks, it is all electric.

Tesla is no longer a luxury brand.

Is that what FoxNews told you? Or was it Infowars?

You asked me what transmission does my EV have.

As a general rule, electric vehicles don’t have conventional multispeed transmissions as gas-powered cars do

So, tell me, what transmissions do EVs have? Name a couple.
Or just one, if you're so fucking smart (which no one on this forum thinks you are).

A non-answer from you will speak volumes.

BTW, do you believe Trump won the 2020 election?

Once again, A non-answer from you will speak volumes.

Well my dear, every car has a transmission. It may be slightly different for an EV, but it's still needs a transmission. No car can move without one. You are an idiot.

Joe Capital was completely right. EVs usually do not have "conventional multispeed transmissions."

Every car would have a transmission of some sort, but most EVs would have what is called a single speed transmission. It is a much simpler device than the multi-speed transmission of an ICE. What car people would generally call a transmission(a complex system of multiple gears to allow constant torque at different speeds) are generally not needed for EV's.

This all makes for a simpler vehicle that could be cheaper, and more reliable. It is the reason that almost all modern diesel trains are actually diesel electric trains. Pure diesel engines have too many transmission problems for trains.

Wow. I agree with you for the most part, except for the "This all makes for a simpler vehicle that could be cheaper, and more reliable" statement. Maybe a few years down the road...

How is that idiot right when he said his car had no transmission?

That is odd, we do agree. When I said "could" I meant a few years down the road. EVs still have teething issues, but theoretically they will be cheaper, and more reliable without the complex multi-speed transmission. As with any theoretical thing about the future, it might not come to be.

I will point out that electric motors have done well on trains, to the point they run pretty much all modern trains. Diesel electric trains are cheaper, more reliable than just diesel trains, because the diesel engine runs at one speed, and is not directly connected to the wheels. Getting rid of most of the transmission was a very good idea with trains. An even better idea is all electric trains.

Trains are bigger, and need more torque, so the move to electric happened decades earlier.

He technically said

A normal EV does not have what the normal complex transmission. It has a barebones transmission that is a lot simpler to build and maintain.

Let me put it like this. Technically, a ICE has a single speed transmission to transmit the power from the multi-speed transmission to the wheels. No mechanic calls that single speed transmission a "transmission." When they say "transmission" they mean only the multi-speed transmission, and nothing else.

Let's cut through your BS. The comment originally made was that his EV did not have a transmission. No vehicle can operate without a transmission. Your spew is ridiculous.

Read the responses from other posters. You're losing this argument, little boy. And you're looking silly doing it.
Also, your refusal to answer my questions only highlights your moronic stance on this subject and the fact that you're just a pathetic troll:

Once again, refusal to answer will just continue to prove you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and you're just a pathetic little troll who's desperate for attention.

Oh, and thanks for bumping my thread to the top so others can see what a pathetic troll you are. BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

 

[Nordberg]

They have transmissions, but not like ICEs. They do not have to go through gear changes to deliver power. They are very simple. https://www.kia.com/dm/discover-kia...f,transmission regulates the electric motor.” It is not a transmission as we know it.

Thanks Nordberg. Florida Fan is just a troll seeking attention. He knows he's lost this argument. He can even name one type of EV transmission. What a MAGA moron.

You are truly a little cunt. You said your pretend car had no, repeat no transmission, which of course makes you an ignoramus. As to the "other " posters. they do not exist. THE END, now go and fuck off you lying cunt.

True. EVs will improve in time. Battery technology improves every year, providing more range with smaller battery volume. It really is an exciting technology.

I rest my case.

 

[RB 60]

Yeah, I'd much rather drive a car that needs motor oil, coolant, AutoTrans fluid and carries over 10 gallons of highly explosive, flammable liquid.

Me too, except for the Autotrans fluid, I have a Toploader (4 speed). Ain't nothing like the ground pounding thunder of a sizeable cammed big block.
