Untrue. They are very heavy and lack the ability to overcome inertia for lateral acceleration and quick response.
Fastest electric cars of 2023. MAGA wets panties.

Have one do the 24 hours of Le Mans...
I an still not buying one. I would rather have a Muscle car from the 60's or 70's. I would like a 1966 Nova SS with a L79 engine

I don't think that electric cars are bad.
I don't think that the Reichnuts make very convincing arguments.
I just like ice cars.
I understand the problem with hydrocarbons [or whatever the hell they are] and the environment.
I understand that ice cars aren't the solution for the future, and may not have too much longer of a present.
After all, they came out in the 1890s.
The sound of a high revving, high compression engine has just been part of the music of my life.
People my age shouldn't have to worry about a future which they'll never see.

Did you read the thread? It is about the incredible acceleration of EVs.
They are extremely practical. You charge at night and wake up to 200 mi of range. You do your business and the next night, you just top it off. Every morning. 200 miles range. If you drive more than that every day, you are a truck driver. But EVs are suitable for everything in a normal person's life. If you have to go across the country, they are not suitable...YET. Almost every day faster chargers are coming out. However renting an ICE may be better now, for a long trip.
That is about 3 hours of driving

I just did a bid on an apartment complex to wire in new panels and a couple of new circuits in every unit. The round trip to the site from where I live is 145 miles total. That's not uncommon in Arizona, and I'm not a truck driver. EV's are not suitable for many people living in states like Arizona, particularly if they live in the rural areas. Since the power will be out on the site if I get that job, I'll be hauling a gasoline generator to give my crew power to do the work. I'll also be hauling close to 1000 lbs. tools and materials. Current EV's are totally unsuited to that environment.

Good points but don't expect Grokmasturbater to comprehend them. He's blinded by the right. BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

EVs could make up more than a third of global car sales by 2030
https://apple.news/A1agS5hUyNQG1o63krGh2eA
The global shift to electric vehicles is unfolding much faster than was expected even one year ago.
By 2030, electric vehicles — including both fully electric and plug-in hybrid models — could make up 35 percent of new vehicle sales globally, according to a forecast included in the International Energy Agency’s annual Global EV Outlook report released last week. Last year, the IEA had placed that figure more than 10 percentage points lower, at less than 25 percent. This particular forecast is based on currently enacted policies, not as-yet-unsubstantiated promises.
In large part, the upward revision comes courtesy of the United States passing the Inflation Reduction Act last August, a law that contains tens of billions of dollars in incentives for electric-vehicle purchases and production. Although EVs made up just 8 percent of new vehicle sales in the U.S. last year, the IEA forecasts that they will account for more than one-fifth of new auto sales in the country by 2025. And as the report notes, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recently proposed auto emissions limits would further accelerate the country’s EV embrace if adopted.

Nothing out of control in EVs. They are like driving any other car. Except you do not have to stop at gas stations and oil change businesses.

EVs batteries are heavy so they have them installed at the bottom of the chassis to give them a low center-of-gravity. That's why they handle so well, especially around curves. And the instant torque gives incredible performance that can't be matched by gas cars.
Methinks Callinutjob is just jealous because he can't afford one.
They are not that expensive.https://www.cars.com/articles/here-...]=true&redirect_event[social_platform]=google

True. I was partly joking. Those are some nice EVs under $40k. My wife's gonna be in the market for a new car and she wants an EV.
I'll keep these in mind. Thanks.

Did you see the 60 Minutes piece about Lithium extraction technology in California?
Companies develop lithium extraction for batteries in California as U.S. auto industry goes electric
The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable electric power has gone mainstream, most visibly in the auto industry. The major car companies are chasing Tesla with ambitious plans for fleets of electric vehicles. Those cars and trucks run on lithium batteries.
The U.S. has massive quantities of lithium, but has been slow to invest in the mining and extraction of the metal. That's about to change.
Lithium operations powered by clean energy are being developed in a long neglected, impoverished part of California by the Salton Sea, not far from the Mexican border.
The region is being called Lithium Valley and just like the 1849 Gold Rush, companies are racing to strike it rich.

And that is the problem with electric vehicles.
You have to sit and wait for it to charge back up and it takes forever
I have been driving electric since 2015 and have never used a charging station. I plug in at night and wake to a full charge. That is a make-believe problem. It is just a daily terrible difficult task, plugging the charger into the car. I have never had to wait.

You’ve apparently never driven across the country
Try finding a charger at the Hilton you are staying at, there are none
