Gotta call BS on this.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/the-shocking-truth-about-electric-cars/article626992/

Tesla basically represents a massive tax subsidy to sell cars that should cost $120,000 to the Bimmer crowd for $70,000

GM loses money on the Volt, but does it to keep Congress happy and the tax subsidies flowing in.

Anybody I know who has to travel on long road trips wouldn't even think of buying an electric car. They just don't have the range, and even if there were charging stations close enough together, your trip would be extended by hours, even if companies could get the charging time down to 20 minutes.

The electric car market is, and always will be restricted to relatively short (sub 400 mile) range uses, like fleets of local delivery vehicles, taxis (if they can get the charging times down) and people like the yuppies and soccer moms who want a vehicle for commuting (and who like the idea of getting a tax subsidized vehicle vehicle that is nicer than ones selling at market price)

The.Electric.Car.Market.Is.An.Illusion

It will become significant, but the laws of physics still trump what delusional politicians and eco-activist types want to believe.

It's like those fucking windmill farms that produce electricity that costs twice as much per kWh as power from natural gas generating stations, and kill lots of birds in the process.

Youre fucking delusional. You should quit reading into propaganda. First off most gas tanks require fill up around 300 miles or so. Secondly, battery technology is one of the fastest growing markets out there today. And third you have no fucking clue what you speak of when it comes to wind farms or the power generating systems we have in place. So i would appreciate it if you would do some research into how a wind farm opperates and then reply back accordingly. I will tell you that it is the power companies corruption that is pushing the idea that wind energy is seperate from everything else. And "they" are the ones raping us on the cost of power to begin with. Dont fucking blame one specific form of energy production because "oh my birds" https://www.google.com/amp/www.sun-sentinel.com/news sorry for the google link. Fuck off with your stupid archaic rhettoric.

LOL, the angst is strong with this one . . .

And why would I allow myself to be sealioned by you?

You really should look into getting another model of car if you can only go 300 miles on a fill up.

If this is all you can reply then i am going to guess you were full of shit to begin with and just want to put bad information out there to bash on an industry that possibly is a competitor to you. Once again, do some fucking research into how and what a wind farm does for the electrical grid and get back to me. If you think that youre paying for just wind farm electricity youre once again delusional or pushing an agenda. Also sub 400 is your average gas car to begin with. Unless you ride around in the womb of a prius.

It's not all I can reply, but it's all I'm going to reply to someone as bullying and offensive as you.

immatureusername

Whatever pussy. This aint fucking reddit and youve been here long enough to know to not be a bitch. Admit it, youre not going to reply nor look into it because youre full of shit and are just trying to push an agenda.

Edit: i will agree with you about the subsidized electric vehicle nonsense and do feel that they would be a complete failure if not for them being subsidized. But i still believe the future belongs to the electric vehicle.
