Why Y’all Hate Electric Vehicles??

[Pure Water]

EVs are cool. But they're not practical. And worse for the environment than regular combustion engine vehicles.

This is not true.

How the fukk you gonna pull a trailer with an electric truck though

Compared to the impact oil production and CO2 emissions have, yes, it is better on a per car basis. It will continue to improve as battery manufacturers and electric motor makers move to elements that are less expensive and easier to source and energy production moves away from coal.

It's a done deal. The move away from gasoline to EV and possibly hydrogen for new car production is guaranteed as we move closer to 2030. Anything reducing the CO2 and other noxious gasses produced by gas/diesel-powered motor vehicles is a plus.

Just barely. You still burning coal to recharge EV.



And what happens to those batteries 15 years down the line?


With that said, Porsche is developing efuel, so gasoline may be here to stay.

90% of people with trucks don’t need trucks.

It’s like 1 out of 10 hauling shyt on a regular basis.

The rest of y’all got the cover on and the bed cleaner than your Weathertec mats.

… going to Costco once a month and helping a friend move every 6 years.

And you can rent trucks for those days for like $25.

Electric or not makes little difference.

Now all of a sudden ppl care about where they get the electricity from

 

[MoneyTron]

Not practical because of range and charging time. Also the future price of electricity is another variable that will be a major issue in the future


Its proven ev batteries are terrible for the environment. From harvesting minerals. To disposing of the battery. Also unethical mining is a whole other issue. This is an issue already and what % of the population is driving ev? Imagine when everybody is. Its also not sustainable.

The push for ev's is not about the environment its about making money. Thats why every auto maker is moving towards ev's because the politicians pushing "clean" energy are all cashing in alternative energy. Their marketing is great, thats why they got all the fan boys thinking they're saving the world while india and china are destroying the climate.

200-300mi is where most EVs are at right now. That number is on par or slightly less than most gas vehicles today. For someone driving 50-100 miles a day with access to a charger, they are very practical. The exponential improvement from even 5 years ago will continue to the point where those issues become irrelevant.

Its proven gas powered vehicles are terrible for environment. Period. There’s no if ands or buts about it. When countries started setting targets to ban new gas-powered vehicles, it wasn’t because of money. The link between gas-powered vehicles to pollution, climate change, and adverse human health is clear.

You can try to explain that away by citing other countries’ emissions, but the point is that there is no point in adding to the pile.

You’re fighting against the inEVitable.

And its still better for the environment than driving an equivalent gasoline-powered vehicle.

There's nothing to be learned from a Joe Rogan podcast.

You think these companies care about the environment when they’re basically enslaving people to create these “environmentally safe” vehicles? How do you think they’re transporting these materials? Processing these materials? Powering the factories to create them?

Learn to separate the lesson from the teacher, most people don’t know where there batteries come from or how they’re made so I’d argue that that there are things to be learned from his podcast like this. I don’t care for him either but the message is still valid and concerning.

Depends on where you live. As anyone with minimal knowledge of US energy production knows, our reliance on coal for energy production will continue its decline in coming years.

Plenty of companies are working on battery lifecycle maintenance and disposal. This is an immature tevhnology. Expecting it to be fully baked now is silly.

As for the efuel, its even further out than hydrogen and at the astronomical prices its costs to produce, I can only see it being used in small use cases ie racing, which would be a big plus for Porsche.

I didn’t say anything about “environmentally safe”. I said they are better in that aspect than gas powered vehicles. There’s a difference.

Again, the capital has been spent and will continue to move in the direction of EVs. No question you’re asking hasn’t been considered by policy makers, product planners, and automotive engineers years ago.

 

[BulletProof]

I've seen the future, brother.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

I’m a truck driver, and I love the Rams, but I’m good on this. I drive too much, and go to places where chargers aren’t in abundance yet. I’m also not real big on that interior. It’s a damn club in the truck

 

[Slow Moving]

Because it doesn't sound like this

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

IMO at this point, the pros of an EV truck are nowhere near the cons.

But the marketing of these EV trucks...is being directed towards people who aren't truck drivers and wouldn't buy a truck....which is very counterproductive.

As a truck driver, nothing about EV trucks appeal to me. nice photos though.

 

[ORDER_66]

Because we dont have the option tobuy what we want... they are forcing people to all EV's when EV's are expensive asf still, not many people can afford them off the bat regardless of tax credits. and the materials to make the EV batteries are limited in itself... my only hope is that the Synthetic Gas is a hit so we wont be shoehorned into EV's our infrastructure here in america is the WOAT
