Like boatgeek says, all I get is: "The video is unavailable". (and I only watch < 5 min videos if they happen to be catchy to me, and not from any sensationalist click baiter.)
Yes!
You will notice at the beginning of the video that it is sponsored by Flo Charge, and they are knocking Ev
So the guy didn't do his homework and bought a hybrid EV with a battery range of 25 km for a daily round trip of 50km.
it's under the 710 cap..If you think that's bad I just saw a video the other day of a woman who pulls into a gas station in a Tesla. She unhooks the nozzle from the pump and is looking high and low for the gas filler pipe opening.
That's a good point but I think the vehicle type will vary depending on the person's needs and we don't know what all of his needs are.
My daughter rented a BMW X5 recently for a business trip. At first we couldn't figure out if it was hybrid or electric. We finally found that it had a charging port and a gas cap. She was driving it far enough that she had to buy gas on the return trip so we wanted to be sure we knew what it was before she left.
I think the real issue here is abusive and/or non-disclosed parking fees by the charging station owner.
I'm going to expand it to be any practice by the charging station owner that makes things worse for the customer.
But that's a reflection on the business, not the technology right?
Some idiots think the charging station doubles as a parking spot and leave their cars there all day, blocking anyone else from using it. They are charging extra for the time the car is there after the charge is complete to encourage people to move them to a regular spot.
So the charging company should be charging 25 cents a minute after the battery is fully charged, not 25 cents per minute from plug in..
Actually price discovery market action is already starting to happen. Recent price cuts by Tesla, Ford and GM (often well below the cost of production of the latter 2) is proof that value is being defined. Problem for Ford, GM, VW, BMW etc is that value is being defined below cost for now.
I like the idea of a base price to rent the square footage, plus a price for the energy. That would prevent people from using the spot for parking only. Unless they pay. Specific prices could depend on location.
They’re a money-making business with the additional competitive advantage over gas stations of also being better for the greater good.
Same can be said about gasoline. I buy none of the subsidies stuff. It’s the gvt’s job to collect and distribute money. We could go on railing about how we would spend tax money literally anywhere, but we don’t because that’s politics.
Again, same can be said about gasoline. Subsidies are for another thread.
Tesla has been breaking conventions to reduce cost of production, making it very hard for others to catch up. Bigger factories, more efficient manufacturing methods allowed by batteries, varying cost of minerals, and interest rates all affect car prices heavily.
Take your pick:
Amen.Just goes to show you that anti-EV misinformation and fear-mongering are not just a US thing.
The small difference is that during the 60's the nation was greatly expanding electrical production with massive additions of firm 24/7 fossil fuel and nuclear power generation. Now we are decommissioning these firm 24/7 power generators and replacing them with intermittent power sources. NYISO knows a thing or 2 about grids is raising the alarm in NY.
