Oh, Ford claims their EV trucks can power your house in the event of a blackout. I think I'll stick with a gasoline generator that can run 8 hours on a tank of gas and really can power the whole house.
EVs are more expensive. A lot more expensive.
What environmental impact? Meaningless phrase. Buzzword fallacy.
Methane is a hydrocarbon. So is oil. Coal is carbon.
Fossils aren't used for fuel. Fossils don't burn.
What particulate pollution? Meaningless phrase. Buzzword fallacy.
What chemical pollution? Meaningless phrase. Buzzword fallacy.
Fossils aren't used for fuel.
Generators are not a level.
Burning natural gas to convert to electric power is lossy. Converting that electric power to chemical energy is lossy. Converting that chemical energy back to mechanical energy is lossy. Waste heat occurs at every step and every time you convert energy from one form to another.
ICE cars convert chemical energy into mechanical energy directly. Less loss.
Natural gas plants do not need to scrub anything.
What's wrong with exhaust?
No. They are really not that much quieter.
No. They are not that much quieter.
They are telling you they are not going to buy an electric car.
So are most cars when they accelerate. Big hairy deal.

That's not what communism is. You should read up on it.
The idea is that the early adopters of electric vehicles are doing a generalized favor to the society, both in terms of contributing less to climate change, and in terms of helping to work out the bugs in a way that will make it easier for others to move to EV in the future. So, in order to recognize and incentivize that contribution, we socialize some of their cost.Why should I pay for YOUR car?
I'm not, I linked to it earlier. If you need the link, let me know.You are making up numbers on maintenance costs
I'm not, I linked to it earlier. If you need the link, let me know.You are making up numbers on resale value.

I always think about this when it comes to farming. Do these twits expect farmers to regularly "stroke their dicks" for hours, waiting for their equipment to recharge, when they'd otherwise be going full bore for weeks straight? (even having a bunch of fuel on hand to "refuel equipment on the fly") ... Do they realize how much that would negatively affect production/yield?
It's just another example of liberal urban twits not knowing how rural life works.
The other one I love hearing, with regard to fertilizer costs, is "just use manure instead". Do these twits think that farm animals have been puckering their buttholes this whole time?? Manure is ALREADY being used.

They don't. Abolut 8-10 years is a more realistic value, and what has been occurring. This is assuming, of course, that some problem doesn't develop with the battery beforehand.
You obviously have no clue on the price of used cars.
No. The EV is effectively scrap, and toxic waste at that. Only a few shops will even work on them due to the fire hazard EV's have. Those that do usually have a 'quarantine area' that keeps those cars away from other customer vehicles in the shop.
You are still just making up numbers. Argument from randU fallacy.
Not really.
Not legal. I realize you discard the Constitution of the United States, and the constitutions of the various States.
A contrivance. Making up numbers is a fallacy.
WRONG. Roads between towns are plowed so people can travel between towns. Failure to do so isolates the town. Other rural roads are plowed by the farmers and ranchers on that road, if they want to bother.
No subsidy. You are making shit up.

Can you imagine waiting for your trucks and combines to charge during harvest season?
Exactly. They visit farms to buy a pumpkin or a Christmas tree, or to 'get a feel for the country', and figure they know how it all works. They don't.
Yup. Wonderful smell around here when farmers are fertilizing their fields on a hot day. Just the thing for the Denny's restaurant down the road by the freeway. REAL appetizing!
