Maybe when I retire I'll pickup the training to be an EV mechanic. It can't be that hard to repair one.

Actually you may want to think twice. I have a good friend with 25+ years of experience fixing all kinds of Japanese and Germany cars and he own his own shop. He recently closed his shop and switch his career to something completely away from automobile at all. I asked him why you switch your career. Simple answer from him. 'There is no future in car repair when EV took over the market'

Last gasp effort by them to stem the plunge in sales but too late with more ppl reading the bigger picture into the road to nowhere with EV's.

"Overall, they conclude that with a much cleaner electricity grid (80 % renewables), BETs would result in an 80 % reduction of climate (CO2) and health (local air pollution) damages compared to future diesel trucks." "For long haul routes below 300 miles, electrification reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas damages by 13% " - how is this calculated. How are greenhouse damages calculated? The paper does not provide such data. Also how are health impacts determined and calculated? The paper does not provide the data. It talks about "the environmental justice implications of freight pollution by analyzing the disparity in health impacts across racial groups". How are the health impacts of freight pollution segregated from the health impacts of smoking, vaping, drinking alcohol, drug use, and poor eating habits (which everyone does regardless of socio-economic situation)?

In my case for 15 years I sat in an automobile 20 hours a week commuting in traffic. Near 85 minutes daily of it in heavy stop and go traffic. Studies say that is not good for humans either. I'm well above low socio-economic status. We all have life burdens. Last edited by Efthreeoh; 04-23-2024 at 03:37 PM.. |

British Columbians are becoming less keen on going electric for their next vehicle, a new survey finds.
The survey, conducted by AutoTrader, reports that interest in electric vehicles is dropping year-by-year nation-wide. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/0...rest-dropping/ |

Can't wait for the new threads that're about to pop up after today's reveal of the revised Tesla Model 3 Performance. Faster 0-60, weighs about 100lbs more, about 40 miles less range, and 7 more horsepower than the 2024 BMW M3 Comp I was considering. For about $30k less, before Federal and State rebates. Regardless of the love or hate of EVs, I don't think anyone can refute the performance at that price point.

That why I say no thank you for EV. I know a lot of people (including a few of my friends) switched to EV strictly because of the EV incentives. They forgot there is no free lunch in this world. You pay what you get. Range anxiety, expensive when they are new and no value in second hand (no one want to buy), battery blues, charging hasseles, eat your tires like no tomorrow unless you drive like grandpa/grandmom.

Conceptualize if you will, the inability to understand what a peer reviewed paper entails and how little requirements it has to have outside of citing and format requirements. You can make a peer reviewed study on anything, but that has nothing to do with it's merit. Thanks for taking this one apart, I didn't want to read it, but it's the usual fantasy trope as we all anticipated. I think people just read the headlines on phys.org and then think they're scientists.
