electric vehicle mileage
a friend sent this;
commercial charging station $.32 per min. (that's $19.20 per hr.)
full charge takes about 8 hrs....that's $153.60
most elecric vehicles get about 350 miles per full charge...that's $.44 per mile
a Ford F-350 pulling a horse trailer gets BETTER milage
charge on

I keep saying this...EV's will not be practical until they are designed to use instantly replaceable batteries just like your drill is. And those won't be lithium ion, either. They might be lithium iron phosphate to begin with, transitioning to sulfur-based batteries eventually.
You won't park and wait for a charge (although charging stations will still be found for convenience) but on long trips, you'll simply exchange for a fully-charged batt and be off again. Plug in at night or while you're in the store; exchange batteries while on trips.
That might be how it will work, but it sure as heck won't be any time soon, considering that the size of the battery bank for current vehicles. Where is some outfit going to store all these car chassis sized battery banks?

Get the US hooked on EV and then China drops an EMP we'll be partying like if it was 1889

Asia has streets filled with millions of electric mopeds. 4x 12v batteries 500w cost $150. the set replaced yearly or 2-5 years depending on use. low weight =low cost.

An EMP would destroy ALL gas/diesel vehicles too! They ALL depend on sophisticated electronics! Only the older vehilces would be immune, or at least repairable after an EMP. Most of those were crushed by Obamas cash for clunkers program. 🥺

That's true. I used to have a 1982 Mercedes 240 D with a stick. Mechanical fuel injection. This is one of the few vehicles that would still run after an EMP. If the electric surge fried the battery, you could roll start it.

Hopefully. IF it doesnt have a coil for the spark! I have a 87 yota pickup, spare coil in faraday cage. I can make it run without the emmisions cpu.

Electric motors are not nearly as costly to produce VS. internal combustion engines and they run for years.

Summation; Electric cars are NOT the issue. All Trains run on electric motors, they have massive torque to get things going in a go fast hurry, the generators to run the electric motors are DIESEL. The issue is STORAGE of ENERGY. The current batteries are great for daily commuters but the mining of minerals, manufacturing, disposal and life of them is the issue. Until we get storage of energy close to the energy potential of gasoline or Diesel it is all for naught. Until we make about 100 new nuclear plants to power electric vehicles none of it matters except to Grennies and politicians trying to get re elected.

That pretty much sums it up.

And an EMP will destroy them.
