A City Is Replacing Its Entire Fleet of Police Cars With Teslas. MAGAs wet panties.

[Saint Guinefort]

You poor thing. Having to see electric cars around. I wish there was a safespace for you. You know, where you can hide out and only see coal-rollers and giant chugging V12 engines.

Wally, vodka for breakfast is not a good idea.

Depends on how the electricity is generated.

 

[Nordberg]

Nordy, how long would YOU live without petroleum?

Lyingfish, do you understand electric cars will not end petroleum use? You probably do not understand going to extremes like that negates your premise. There is no attempt to end it. Just not use it in vehicles.

White House to Invest $51 Million to Strengthen Nationwide EV Charging Network

The move is part of the administration's effort to build a network of 500,000 public EV charging stations.

Electric vehicles are on the rise in the US, with more than 3 million EVs on the road today. To support EV adoption, the Biden administration has pledged to create a network of half a million public charging ports across the country. On Friday, the administration announced $51 million in funding, with the goal of ensuring the network is resilient and reliable.

The Ride and Drive Electric program will fund efforts aimed at accelerating the transportation sector's shift to EVs, including projects to improve and deploy EV charging stations, according to a Department of Energy news release. The administration also launched a new group, the National Charging Experience Consortium, tasked with making public EV charging easy to use for everyone.
"The EV revolution is well underway, and this funding will help to ensure that every American can access the benefits and count on a reliable EV charging network across the country," Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in the release.
The initiative to accelerate nationwide electrification is part of President Joe Biden's Investing in America agenda, which is geared toward making EV charging networks accessible to everyone in the US.

More than 53,000 public charging stations exist in the United States, with California at over 14,000.
The current number of public charging stations is a far cry from the 500,000-station network the administration hopes to build out.
In August, Biden passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which made way for significant clean energy infrastructure developments like the EV tax credit. That credit reduces the price Americans have to pay for EVs made in the US, up to $7,500.
From wider price ranges to more car brands releasing EV models of their own, there hasn't been a better time to buy an EV. Less expensive varieties, like the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, start at around $29,000

The Presidential limo is an ICE powered car.

Whoever said electricity used for air conditioners harms the planet? LyinBitch's meme makes no sense.

You can tell LyinBitch knows he's losing the argument when he asks inane questions like that.

Nordy, most of the time you fail to see the big picture. The vast majority of products you use on a daily basis are petroleum based. They are by products of the refining process. Please research before you respond.

So brakes on cop cars are not brakes, but something different.? https://www.forbes.com/wheels/advice/regenerative-braking/ The fact that ICEs are always running means brakes have a tougher job stopping a car. Evs have regenerative braking. But I waste time. You do not care about the truth.

You can perform engine braking on an ICE vehicle to stop faster, a lot faster, if you want to.

https://www.repairsmith.com/blog/engine-braking/

That kind of half explains it. If I were in a vehicle with a manual transmission, and you were tailgating me in your Tesla, and I wanted you to end up in the ass of my car while we were both doing say 40 mph down a street, I'd shift into first gear, drop the clutch, and slam on the brakes. Regenerative braking won't save you, you're toast and your insurance is paying the bill...

Hint: you can't mock using gasoline power to aid electric power if you forget that electric power is necessary to get the gasoline to the car.



Maybe we can take some of the massive subsidies oil and gas companies get and improve the electric grid!

We're talking about electric cars, not what electricity is used for.

Maybe we could take some of the money from overpaid politicians to build roads and improve infrastructure?

A SoCal City Is Replacing Its Entire Fleet of Police Cars With Teslas

So? Yet another city in the SDTC decides to be stupid. Meh.

Once all the EVs are in use, South Pasadena will become the first American city to convert to a fully electric police car fleet. The quiet suburban community-which covers 3.4 square miles and has a population of around 26,000-is "environmentally conscious" and is also taking steps to be more bike- and pedestrian-friendly.

Kinda hard to do with open looting and crime everywhere. Wait...aren't the police supposed to stop that???

Only retard would think ICE pollution is not a terrible threat that we should fight. Auto exhaust merely poisons the planet and harms health and environment.

It is not possible to poison a planet.

EV Market Share Is Growing Because the Vehicles Keep Getting Better

Less than 1% of the cars on the road are EVs. Look at any freeway.

“And as we continue to see increases” in a range of [EVs] and “dropping prices relative to gasoline vehicles, more and more mainstream consumers will choose electric vehicles.”[/B]

I can buy TWO gasoline cars for the price of one EV.
I can maintain 'em myself with commonly available tools too. I don't need specialized shops to work on gasoline cars.
One of these cars uses almost half the energy an EV of the same size does.

No, you cannot use the 'cheaper EV' argument.

You cannot drive an EV that is being used to provide power for a house.
It takes hours to charge an EV. Days, if you use only piddle power like solar to do it.

 

[Into the Night]

Remember during the COVID shutdown when people weren't driving in the big cities? People could start seeing the skyline and horizon again once there was no longer the smog in the air. They got a picture of the future with EV cars.

EVs use almost twice as much energy as modern gasoline cars. You forget that electricity must be generated, the transmitted to your charger, all of which has energy lost to waste heat.
Oh...and what about that power station burning coal, oil, or natural gas? No, you aren't 'saving the planet' from CO2. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth.

If you want to drive an EV and put up with it's problems, that's your choice. Mandating it is fascism. You can choose to live in a dictatorship like the SDTC (Socialist Dictatorship of the Territory of California), but I won't.

It doesn't.

What massive subsidies of oil and gas companies?

No need to hide out.

I see the 'coal rollers' all the time. Usually done poorly.
I see V12 engines too. I work on aircraft.

BTW, there are no practical electric aircraft. That's for a reason.
Batteries are too heavy.

Depends on how the electricity is generated.

California generates very little electricity. What little they do produce is mostly via natural gas. They import the rest from the WRIC. Those lines are too heavily overloaded. WRIC has hydroelectric, coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power to generate electricity...most commonly natural gas or oil.

Petroleum is used in electric vehicles. It is also used to power them, since many power plants are fueled by petroleum.

Petroleum products are not only used to make an EV, it is also used to power them, since many power plants use oil as their power source.
