King Biden Says thou shall be charging stations every 50 miles on federal highways

[Saltwater60]

Wow so how much could this possibly cost us?

Biden to require electric vehicle charging stations every 50 miles on federal highways

President Joe Biden has pledged to have a network of 500,000 public charging stations for electric vehicles in place across the country by 2030.

How about we get work on continuous cell service on federal highways first?

I70 from Kansas to Colorado would be a great place to start with his charging station plan...There is nothing for 100+ miles. Figure that out then get back to us on the other 5 billion wasted.

And how many chargers at each station ?

Imagine I95 when it hits a peak of 300,000 cars a day, and all of them need to spend 1/2 an hour on a charger every 100 miles....

 

[Bigfoot]

How can the electrical grid handle 500,000 additional charging stations? Even by 2030.
This country is broken and no longer able to pull off such feats as it used to.

They predict rolling blackouts this summer due to high demand as it is.
If there is not enough power at peak demand now. How can the grid handle 500,000 additional charging stations? Duh.

The Democrat party has been hijacked by the Green New Deal radicals.
That does not bode well for the average American citizen. Like the Democrat Party of old wasn't bad enough...

My bank account misses Orange Man Good!

 

[Dr. Evil]

No way all of what is happening has anything to do with ramming the green new deal down our throats.

"The administration is providing more than $5 billion to states over the next five years to build a network of charging stations along the nation’s interstates."

Well, that's a relief. The administration is paying for all of this out of their own pockets. For a minute there I was concerned it was going to be our money paying for this.

Fuck Biden and those that support him.

 

[Bigfoot]

You know that saying "if you can't beat them join them."

Well for myself and millions of other people that would include...
1. Voluntarily giving up my guns.
2. Turning gay and banging other dudes.
3. Insisting I'm a female even though I have a dick.
4. Welcoming the illegal invaders into our country.
5. Making do with an EV.

Nah, none of that works for me.
1. I'll keep my guns but fuck you very much.
2. Men's buttholes do not interest me in the least. YMMV
3. If you have a dick you are not a chick.
4. Fuck the invading FSA. I make them feel unwelcome when the opportunity arises.
5. No, my trucks are work trucks. EV will not work for me and millions of other people either.

 

[Bigfoot]

One more thing. EVs are very expensive.

As with many people I have to have more than one vehicle.
I have to have two 4x4 trucks and there is no way around that. They are tools that earn money.
My wife has to have her own car as my trucks are not always available to her.

How do I or anyone else afford 3 or more EVs?

I suppose that they just count on people changing their way of life...

I disagree on that. I-70 has better cell coverage than any other road I have been on. I will be driving it again next week and look forward to 5G service the whole way.

 

[Saltwater60]

It won’t happen because it can’t. It’s impossible to do in the next 10-15 years even.

 

[redtail]

What a wet dream .

Sorry if you misunderstood me. It was two separate statements, not cell service on I70

We can't generate anywhere near enough power.

We can't store it for when it's needed.

The grid can't transport it to where it's needed.

But people magically just want us to switch.



Maybe we should update the grid first. That doesn't require any new technology, just a larger deployment of existing technology.

Of course that means giving a shitload more money to the power companies, and ruffling the feathers of a few spotted owls, so it's never going to happen.

 

[fresch]

The grid can be fixed; but that isn't what the demonrats want.

We really need a massive investment to modernize the grid even if we *don't* triple the power demand with EVs.

And it doesn't make sense to modernize it without a significant capacity increase at the same time.

[Deplorable Me]

What next? 49 mile extension cords?

Yeah I see that now, and apologies if I misread that. But I wish our cell service in NY was as good as I-70 in KS or I-80 in NE.

 

[meketrefe]

Sure Joe we can have them in all gas stations as soon as next week. You jist need to bring down the price of diesel so electricity prices will not skyrocket like it is happening in Europe right now.

Right now a 2023 nissan leaf could be ordered (you'll never find one on a lot at MSRP) for $30k. Then you get $7500 federal tax credit, another $2k from new york. So the car is a touch over $20k. $5 (the price of a gallon of gas) buys enough energy @ $.13/kWh (my electricity price) to drive it around 130 miles or so. It has no engine, a simple transmission, no emissions system, etc. very little to actually break, and a massive warranty on its battery & drive system. They are perfect commuter vehicles.

 

[prambo]

He'll have to pull them out of his ass, because that's the way it'll ever happen.

More moronic posing and bullshit to keep the majority of Clusterfuck Nation focused on another "New Shiny Thing".

 

[prambo]

"The administration is providing more than $5 billion to states over the next five years to build a network of charging stations along the nation’s interstates."

What about us yokels that don't live anywhere near an interstate???

And don't want to, either.

That's going to require a shit-ton of extension cords.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

They'll be there..but not connected to anything

Imagine I95 when it hits a peak of 300,000 cars a day, and all of them need to spend 1/2 an hour on a charger every 100 miles....

I propose (1) station with 500,000 chargers. Like a Grand Charging Mecca. EV's from all across the land will make the pilgrimage along highways barren of light, for a chance to recharge with the most untaxly, free energy.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

What next? 49 mile extension cords?

You know, cable cars could be a viable option.

 

[Saltwater60]

What next? 49 mile extension cords?

That’s a great idea.

I’m sorry but the tax cred

Right now a 2023 nissan leaf could be ordered (you'll never find one on a lot at MSRP) for $30k. Then you get $7500 federal tax credit, another $2k from new york. So the car is a touch over $20k. $5 (the price of a gallon of gas) buys enough energy @ $.13/kWh (my electricity price) to drive it around 130 miles or so. It has no engine, a simple transmission, no emissions system, etc. very little to actually break, and a massive warranty on its battery & drive system. They are perfect commuter vehicles.

Im sorry but the tax credits on these are an absolute joke. If they are so great why does the government have to pay you to buy one? Also the Nissan Leaf is too small for us and doesn’t really work for us. I’m also fairly anti EV as I’m sure you know by now.

I think this is SPECTACULAR idea, I own stock in EVGO and BLINK CHARGING

As long as the government contracts with them, I could be rich by the rich by the end of the year
