Scotty gives the most logical and reasonable monologue on electric cars.

Consider that most European countries are the size of Texas, maybe, so it is hard to fairly compare, but the truth is that hybrid vehicles are the way to go until batteries are highly improved, and Toyota has been right about it all along.

We can easily go from our country home to our city home and back (75 miles each way) on a single charge and still have 100 miles of range, at least in the summer. Where the automakers are screwing up is trying to sell huge EVs, like SUVs and pickup trucks. We had to wait months for our Bolt -- GM couldn't make them fast enough to satisfy the demand. So what did they do? They shut down the factory and converted it to build electric Silverados at a cost of about 4 billion dollars. Brilliant move. In 2023 Chevy sold about 63 thousand Bolts. Now it's selling about 700 Silverados a month. Stupid stupid stupid.

Yeah I agree. I worked for Ford for about a decade. Stopped working for them about two years ago. While I was there I got to check out the Mach E "mustang". To me it's an electric station wagon with mustang tail lights. A mustawagon if you will. Anyway I gotta be honest. It's a nice car! It really is! The interior is very well done. The dash is cool, giant screen in the center, lots of cool bells and whistles. I really liked it. Price? Nowhere near anything I can afford. Drives great. Fast as all hell. I would go as far as to say it's stupid fast. Why anyone would go that fast other than racing is beyond me. Ok so you miss the sound of a V8? There's an option to make it sound like a V8! It comes through the stereo. I think you'd likely look pretty silly driving down the road listening to an engine on the stereo, but what do I know? Anyway, the nail in the coffin? Battery power and consumption. If you got a good one it'll work as advertised and to be honest that's not that great compared to a Toyota Corolla from the early 2000s. If you weren't so lucky then you'd have to prepare to make it live on that charger. Each one would need a good 24 hours on the charger and the dealer I was at only had two charger ports so they'd get in about 20 at a time it would take over a week to get them charged up and they lose some charge sitting on the lot. I agree. Not quite there yet. Maybe next year.

@patrickchubey3127 Месяц назад

I agree. Electric cars work, but not as good as gasoline cars and electric cars come with a huge laundry list of problems that ice cars don't face. It's possible that EVs will greatly improve in the future but for right now an ice car is the improvement we need.

Panasonic is building a massive new EV battery plant in De Soto, KS (KC area). I know it's a Japanese company, but at least it's in the US. 🤷‍♂

Panasonic Eneloop's are the best rechargable AA/AAA batteries. So they at least know how to make NiMH very well....

I think the advance is in the efficiency. Petrol and diesel motors are incredibly inefficient compared to electric. Batteries don't hold enough juice tho, so it's a trade off in the end, Efficiency for range

@12pentaborane Месяц назад

There's only so much efficiency you can get from ICE engines. I think with pistons there is a theoretical maximum of 50% recovery on the shaft. Honestly the best would be a super efficient 30hp engine in a hybrid setup where the battery is only used to accelerate the vehicle.

You mentioned Volvo. A few months ago we flew to Little Rock and had a car reserved. I was surprised when they gave me a Volvo. As a frequent traveler, I had never an agency give me a Volvo. It was a gas engine, not electric. In 30 plus years of business travel, I have have never driven such a piece of crap. Talked to a friend with a Volvo. He said their quality went away when the company was sold.

Buy used people. If want a compact pickup get an old 4cyl toyota, nissan, mazda. Or get a car and do a ute pickup conversion. I have 2006 jetta tdi diesel and did ute pick conversion from smyth. Smyth also does ute pickup kits on subaru, dodge charger, jeep cherokee.

@terrywbreedlove Месяц назад

The batteries last long enough now an EV driven the national average miles per day. Will be able to drive 10 days on a full charge. Charge at home at night for pennies while you are sleeping with no issue. Traveling long distance a 30 minute rest after 250 or 300 miles on the road is nice. Have lunch play a game or two on the phone or just take a short nap.

@BigBazooka. Месяц назад

Used to drive electric forklifts …. When battery got low you took lift to a battery change station and exchanged for recharged battery and away you went in bout 5 minutes or under …. It’s the only way the electric cars can work here is to also have a battery to exchange instead of recharging stations….. have the option to recharge but also to exchange
