ICE or EV?

[morekaos]

Bahahahaha

L.A. fires have added another concern for potential EV buyers: Power outages​

You’ve plugged your electric vehicle into your home charger and hit the sack. Overnight, high winds topple a power line. Your charger blacks out. Then, a report of a fire, followed by an evacuation order. Your battery’s only charged to 25%. And it's your only car.

Abandoned EV Batteries Could Make The LA Fire Cleanup A Nightmare

Firefighters in LA had to take special precautions around electric vehicles abandoned in the evacuation, and now those same cars could hamper cleanup efforts.

Tesla Power Walls.

 

[morekaos]

you really think the people of Altadena can afford those power walls… let alone the Tesla?

 

[irvinehomeowner]

Do you even read what you write?

 

[morekaos]

yep, and I’ll answer the question for you. “Not many.”

Tesla's Powerwall 3 costs about $1,000 per kWh of storage. according to a recent report from EnergySage. The Powerwall 3 is a 13.5 kWh battey, so that's about $13,500. But this doesn't include the cost to install the battery. We were quoted $16,551 for the cost of installing a Powerwall 3 on a home in Fort Mill, South Carolina, via Tesla's website. This price includes the battery, gateway device, accessories, installation and taxes

It wasn’t just west of Lake (the more “working class” area of Alt) that burned but also areas like where a high school friend and her NFL HOF Dad’s old house was or up in Kinneloa Estates.

I'm tired of explaining because morekaos won't listen.

Put the puzzle together: EV, solar, power wall, savings.

P.S. Most EV owners don't run their battery down to zero. This is like me saying if you have no gas in your car and the nearest gas stations are on fire, how can you leave? Use some common sense bro.

Thank you President Trump…common sense returns to the country…

Newsom Capitulates, Withdraws Bid to Regulate Electric Vehicles Sales, Phaseout Gas-Powered Ones

California is withdrawing a request for the Biden admin to approve its EV truck mandate. Under the rules, a large share of truck sales in CA and other states would have been forced to be electric by 2035. Less than 1% of truck sales are EVs.

All you have to do is raise taxes on ICE trucks, and lower them for EV trucks. No regulation needed!

That ain’t gonna happen with this administration… but the question is, why would you? People want less social engineering, not more
And Suddenly, Gavin Newsom's Electric Car Mandate Looks Pretty Dumb to LA Fire Victims

Even now, the homeless LA gliteratti, who soon may be allowed to sift through the ashes of their homes in hopes of finding the gold coins that looters haven't dug up yet, wonder how they could have been so gullible. They bought Newsom's climate change diktats hook, line, and gas can, and now their electric car doesn't work. Their beloved Tesla and their neighbor's Nissan Leaf are charred carbon hulks considered by the environment police to be portable toxic waste dumps. I'm sorry, sir, and you can't move it until we've studied the environmental externalities of your charred car. Grab a number.

And no mocking these poor folks, America, because this Caltastrophe may have bought more time for the rest of the country to shout down the climate cultists in state houses across the country. California's proof of concept showed that climate nirvana doesn't protect the environment for humans.

Indeed, though less important, it's now dawning on Angelenos, more than a week after the fires started, that they're witnessing the incineration of all the "greenhouse emissions reductions" promised in Newsom's 2035 gas car ban.

So ICE cars would magically survive?

You keep sounding more like the snowflakes you disdain... it's hilarious.

Wasting more of our money by raising taxes to try and influence consumers is just that…a waste of money. Let the markets decide…ICE survives either way.
