EV’s Move to Mainstream at Chicago Auto Show
Published Feb 9, 2023 at 5:06 PM
The sound of the test tracks at the 2023 Chicago Auto Show will be a little quieter this time around as silent electric motors replace revving gasoline engines on many of the hottest cars.
“I think what we are seeing now is that EV’s are mainstream,” said Robert Kelter, the senior attorney at the Environmental Law and Policy Center.
Kelter said driving an EV is about more than just saving the planet, it’s about saving money. On top of government incentives that can shave $7,500 off the price of some new models, the average driver can expect to see about the same savings in the first five years of ownership when compared to a gas-powered model.
Ford has a special track at this year’s show to spotlight its new F-150 Lightning pickup truck. In addition to going from zero to 60 miles an hour in about four seconds, the battery powered EV can also act as a generator and power your house for up to three days.
“As infrastructure increases, we are starting to see more and more adopters,” Ford spokesperson Rhonda Bambrick said.
The numbers seem to corroborate Bambrick’s point. Bloomberg NEF expects manufacturers to deliver 13.6 million EV’s this year as opposed to 10 million last year.
The choices for drivers are also growing, as more trucks and SUVs are coming in pure electric and hybrid electric models. Jeep is offering a plug-in version of its classic Willys model while Nissan is showing the all-wheel-drive version of its Aria EV for the first time here in Chicago.

India's first big lithium find boosts electric car production
India has announced its first significant discovery of reserves of lithium, a rare element crucial for manufacturing electric vehicles.
The government said on Thursday that 5.9m tonnes of the element had been discovered in Jammu and Kashmir.
So far, India has depended on Australia and Argentina for lithium imports.
Lithium is a key component in rechargeable batteries that power numerous gadgets like smartphones and laptops, as well as electric cars.
Experts say that the discovery could aid India's push to increase the number of private electric cars by 30% by 2030, as part of efforts to cut carbon emissions to tackle global warming.

Where can I charge my electric car for free?
The good news is that there are several convenient ways to recharge without spending any money — and an essential first step involves using the power of your smartphone. For example, the PlugShare*app*allows EV drivers to filter through*all sorts of charging stations, including ones that are absolutely free.
Available on both Apple AAPL and Android smartphones, PlugShare encourages users to provide real-time information about the location and status of charging stations. After all, a free charger is useless if every spot is full or it’s out of order when you pull up with a low battery.
ChargePoint CHPT is another great resource to help find a free charging station. It’s good advice to download several apps for chargers you regularly use. Plus, you might simply prefer the user interface of one over another.
Charging station providers such as Electrify America and EVgo EVGO will also show you information regarding station locations. Sometimes they offer promotions involving free charging at locations convenient to you at special times of the year. They also might offer rewards that provide subscriber perks, like free charging after earning enough points.
EVgo Rewards, for example, gives subscribers $10 worth of free charging once they accumulate 2,000 points. With this program, one dollar of charge equates to five earned points.
Your town or local utility company might also provide free public chargers or offer programs. You can find such free chargers in malls, other shopping center parking lots, universities, hotels and casinos, public transit stations, and even at recreation areas run by the National Park Service. Some car dealerships may provide some form of free EV charging as well.

and there's a guarantee there will always be free charging stations for everyone!

The MAGAs aren't going to like your OP! They think EV's are a tool of the devil. Their narrative is that we're going to run out of raw materials for EV batteries and that fossil fuels will last forever. They live in the bizarro world.

Yes, they do. The EV revolution is here and they can't come to terms with it. They're still using 10 year old right wing talking points in their arguments. Now, they're arguing lithium shortages even while Elon Musk is finding ways to recycle the lithium from old batteries.

I bet they throw a panty-wetting hissy fit everytime they see another EV car ad on the TV.

BERLIN (Reuters) -Volkswagen will speed up its shift to electric cars and revamp its software strategy in a five-year investment plan presented by management to the supervisory board on Friday, the automaker said in a statement.

The change to EVs is well on its way. It is making its steady inexorable march into garages and dealerships. ICE people can close their eyes and stamp their feet in childish anger, but it is happening. The EV infrastructure is being created.

Tesla Model X Plaid is still dominating drag races nearly 2 years after launch
The Tesla Model X Plaid is still dominating drag races nearly two years after its launch, showing just how much legacy automakers have to catch up.
There is nothing new about the concept of the super-high-performance SUV. Mercedes has long made the G-Class with its incredible Bi-Turbo V8, Dodge has been making its Durango SUV with supercharged V8s for years, and BMW has prided itself on the performance characteristics found in the X5M. But in a video posted by Carwow, it is clear that the gap between the Tesla Model X Plaid and these vehicles remains enormous years after Tesla’s launch.
Carwow’s SUV drag race includes the Tesla Model X Plaid, Lamborghini Urus Performante, BMW X5M Competition, Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 S. All of them can carry your golf bag and your buddies to the green in style, but which one gets you there quickest?
It should be no surprise that the Tesla Model X, being the only electric vehicle on the grid, demolished the gas options from the legacy makers. With its instant brain-melting torque, the Model X Plaid pulls ahead and stays ahead for the whole quarter mile. But perhaps the biggest surprise is the price comparison of the vehicles.
The Tesla is by no means a budget vehicle, starting at $119,990. Yet it certainly comes off that way compared to the Lambo, which starts at $221,506, and in its highest performance trim, goes for $245,381. Ironically, the Porsche Cayenne is practically down to Earth in comparison, starting at a measly $72,200 and only reaching $171,300 in its top trim. The BMW X5M, while starting at $108,900, reaches $114,100 with the Competition spec. And the humble Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S comes in at $117,050.
“Tesla Model X Plaid sets record with 2.3-sec 0-60 mph launch, 9.7-sec quarter-mile” — TESLARATI
Despite Tesla’s middle-of-the-pack luxury pricing, it leads in both horsepower and torque. The Tesla Model X Plaid produces 1,020 horsepower and 752 pound-feet of torque through its tri-motor AWD drivetrain, allowing the gargantuan vehicle to rocket from a standstill to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds.

Ferrari CEO compliments Tesla for shaking up the automotive industry

While speaking at Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters with Bloomberg News, Vigna stated that Tesla accelerated change in the auto industry. He also shared what he learned from the young carmaker.

“The big contribution that Tesla has made to the automotive industry? It was a wake-up call. Things used to happen too slowly. Tesla shook up the industry and accelerated processes and decisions. They were faster and more agile,” the Ferrari CEO said.

Ferrari is on track to unveil its first all-electric car in 2025, with deliveries commencing the following year. With this in mind, Vigna also proved very optimistic about the company’s upcoming electric cars.

“Electrification is a new way to provide our customers a unique driving experience, and I’ve no doubt that our electric powertrains will give clients the same thrills of combustion engines. The point is how to extract the best emotion from the use of this technology, giving something unique to the clients,” Vigna said.

It's because they associate anything "green" with Democrat evil. If you own an EV, you're a "tree-hugger"!
