15 minute cities already in the UK.

I Know.

Neil Oliver is all the way right when he says that we now know without doubt what these abusive fucks have planned for us.

EV's being very suboptimal for intercity travel sounds like a feature not a bug as WEF/CCP has been very clear that most are to stay in their 15 minute cities. Only those with permits from the Regime will be free of that restriction, these permits will often be narrowly defined, like for work only.

1 plane trip with limits every two years for those with qualifying social credit scores will be allowed according to current thinking.

More Americans are snapping up used electric cars

Used EV sales grew by 32% in the first quarter of 2023

New electric cars are grabbing all the headlines, but Americans buy far more used cars than new cars. When will sales of used electric vehicles pick up?
They already have.
A new analysis from Kelley Blue Book parent company Cox Automotive shows that used EV sales grew by 32% in the first three months of 2023. It’s likely just the start of an accelerating trend.
“Every new vehicle eventually becomes a used vehicle,” says Cox Automotive chief economist Jonathan Smoke. “Our data sets indicate used EV sales will begin increasing rapidly from here, following a clear path set by new sales.”

Cox Automotive expects Americans to buy more than 1 million new electric cars for the first time in 2023.
In 2021, about 3.2% of the new cars Americans bought were electric. By the end of 2022, that number had reached 5.8%. It’s accelerating rapidly. Analysts are still tallying first-quarter sales, but Cox Automotive economists believe that 7% of the new cars Americans bought in Q1 were electric.
Adoption won’t be linear. It snowballs as automakers introduce new electric models of all types, giving more shoppers electric options. Studies have also shown that*Americans grow more likely to buy an electric car when they start seeing them in their neighborhoods.

Hey, I had a Pinto SW! Paid $600 for it and drove it the three years when my insurance went sky high. Good car. I swear it had autopilot.

The 45 minutes to charge for 75 miles of driving real world story omits the waiting for a charger time, which can be huge. The stress added and thus experience degraded is mentioned.

12 Chain Stores That Offer EV Charging to Customers
Here's where you can power up while you shop.
7-Eleven
Interest in electric vehicles has revved up in recent years, with sales increasing 65% last year alone. But providing abundant places to charge up has long been a sticking point to greater EV adoption.
To address the need, President Joe Biden's trillion-dollar infrastructure bill allocated $7.5 billion toward installing 500,000 public EV chargers by 2030.
On April 6, Walmart announced it was adding thousands more chargers to the nearly 1,300 already installed at more than 280 Walmart and Sam's Club locations nationwide.
Walmart is just one of a growing number of retailers making EV charging available. Some, like movie theaters, have Level 2 chargers that can add 25 miles of range in about an hour. Many more have direct-current, aka DC, fast chargers, which can provide a near-full charge in less than an hour.
In some cases, charging is offered for free.
Pasquale Romano, is CEO of ChargePoint, the largest network of public charging stations in the US. The half hour it takes to get a decent charge is just long enough "to provide businesses with increased engagement," Romano said.
"We like to refer to this as the 30-minute retail economy," he told CNET. "Eventually, we'll see entire charging hubs comprised of dozens of charging stations and retail businesses."

MAGA WETS PANTIES!!!

7-Eleven? Walmart? Aren't those places below Democrat's standards?

Ya right, Joey wet panties. I'm going in for a paintbrush and I am going to plug in my EV and buy another 1/2 mile of road time. You do understand that untra short plug-ins actually deplete the battery do you not?

Debunking the Most Common EV Myths

We've broken down all the essential information you need to know when considering an electric vehicle.
There are massive benefits to owning an Electric Vehicle. From minimal maintenance, ease of drive, and saving on gas money, an EV can be extremely beneficial to your lifestyle – and wallet. Plus, as battery technology continues to optimize, now is a great time to ask yourself if an EV is right for you.

Nevertheless, there are plenty of myths out there about the downsides of owning an EV. So we're here to debunk the three biggest myths we've seen about EVs; so you can make an informed decision about whether an electric vehicle is right for you.


EVs Are Worse for the Environment Than Standard Vehicles
Today, new batteries that promise faster charging and less reliance on problematic materials are being developed at a rapid pace. Moreover, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, "Electric vehicles typically have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging." But all and all, the harm against the environment is not as impactful as that caused by a standard vehicle.

Range Anxiety
There are now many EVs that can complete a range between 200–300 miles on a single charge. According to the U.S. Department of Energy the average vehicle in North America covers 43 miles a day, which means that most EV vehicles can cover a week's worth of mileage in between charges. If you're setting out on a longer trip, you just need to be strategic about where to stop and charge. However, with the influx of new charging stations, it's becoming easier and easier to take a road trip with your electric vehicle. Still want to take it even further? Explore how you can off-road safely and capably with your EV.

EVs are Too Expensive
While EVs tend to have a higher sticker price than their standard counter parts, many factors actually make them much more cost efficient. For example, you may qualify for a Federal Income Tax Credit, which can put as much as $7,500 back in your pocket. When you consider that many affordable EVs retail for under $30,000, that is a substantial amount of money to get back.

Of course, never having to visit a gas pump again will also save you quite a bit. Plus, at-home charging can be extremely cost-effective. It also might be worth considering a pre-owned electric vehicle to save more money right off the bat.

Time to change those Depends, MAGA morons.

You really hate EV's dontcha? I have never seen someone who becomes SO UNHINGED over an automobile. You must have no real problems in your life. Must be nice. But it also belies a possible mental health issue.

Why don't you just NOT BUY A FUCKIN' EV????? Genuinely curious why you are so obsessed with complaining about EV's.

Imagine if you were in a Hummer that got 5 miles/gallon and you were facing the same stretch of road? Ohh, that never happens! Gasoline vehicles NEVER RUN OUT OF FUEL.

God. Get a fuckin' life!

I don't "hate" them. I just think they are impractical, expensive, redundant, and unnecessary. If you want one, buy one. My beef is with the government saying in effect You WILL buy one, and you will like it! I want to see all the bribes (aka subsidies) and mandates go away.

If I go to the Middle-of-Nowhere, I can take extra gasoline along. I can't take extra battery charge. If I was in a Hummer on that stretch of road, a few of these

Solves any range problem. You cannot haul extra electricity with you. It isn't portable. Maybe you could tow this to make it through

What about the massive subsidies to the companies that provide you fuel for your ICE engine? Don't have a problem with them?

 

[T. A. Gardner]

There are no "massive subsidies" to the oil companies. That is a canard of the Left to cover for their own stupidity. What money the government gives out to oil companies is generally for one of two things:

1. R&D into stuff the government wants researched and oil companies otherwise wouldn't bother with.

2. Cleaning up pre-EPA / regulation pollution because they are the experts at that.

LOL. The world's economists all disagree with you. And what research are you talking about? (LIke you know ANYTHING about research) lololol

Research like specialized lubricants, preservatives, paints, and other materials made from oil the military uses. Or, to lower emissions and other pollution controls dictated by government, as but two examples.

https://www.axios.com/2022/06/01/once-unthinkable-subsidies-for-american-oil-drillers

Intangible Drilling Costs Deduction (26 U.S. Code § 263. Active) Not a "subsidy" but rather a tax deduction this site mischaracterizes for political reasons
Percentage Depletion (26 U.S. Code § 613. Active) Depreciation of assets is another thing allowed ALL businesses, and not a "subsidy." Again, mischaracterized by those against oil.
Last In, First Out Accounting (26 U.S. Code § 472. Active) Not a subsidy, but an accounting practice allowed to any business.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Inactive). The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was an economic stimulus package of $787 billion. As part of this package, the Office of Fossil Energy received $3.4 billion toward fossil fuel research and development between 2009 and 2011. The funds primarily supported R&D of carbon capture and storage technologies. This is money to a government agency not the oil industry. Not a subsidy.
https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fa...-closer-look-at-tax-breaks-and-societal-costs

As you can see here, those against the oil industry and pro-radical Leftist environmentalism aren't above LYING their asses off to make oil look bad.

Here's a study that conflates global subsidies into one bucket so-to-speak. Again, it is something of a canard.

https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/news/government-subsidies-for-oil-and-gas-detailed-by-inside-energy/

As you can see in that chart, most of the so-called subsidies for oil are simply tax and accounting options oil companies--LIKE ANY COMPANY--can use to lower their tax burden. They aren't subsidies. You can see that solar and wind do the EXACT same thing.

Note what's said there too. Oil and gas get almost no direct subsidies

But compare the purple areas. Wind and solar are getting HUGE government subsidies without which they become so unprofitable that NOBODY would invest in them for a nanosecond.

So, your unnamed fucking "economists" are full of shit.
