Gas lineup

[bazokajoe]

I don’t know about the rest but for me it could work and I could charge it completely off solar based on my needs. I drive about 400 km per week.

Solar panels are cheep now days and can probably find deals of battery banks. You don’t need to use solar city for it or whatever it’s called now.

How Many Solar Panels to Charge a Tesla?

Read our article to answer the important questions, like how much power it takes to charge a Tesla and how much it costs, in our guide to Tesla solar chargers.

Solar and wind power are so unreliable.
But good luck with that.

let's see. 10 cents a litre saving say. 50 litre tank. That's 5 bucks. For 1 hour? Bloody waste of time.

Lots of folks out there that are not good with simple math.

How will the energy to charge all the car batteries be generated

That's the equivalent of asking about the energy required to transport crude to the refineries, the energy to refine the crude and the energy required to transport the gas to the gas stations.

Would still be tied to grid if needed and give back to grid for credits.

Energy required to transport the amount of crude equivalent to one
tankful of gasoline is insignificant compared with the amount of energy
needed to carry a 500 kg Tesla battery around.

I was on the road around 7:30 last evening. There was no lineup at all so I topped up. Whoever thought that $1.56 per litre would look like a good price?

I live just north of Montreal and am relieved when it's only $1.63 per liter.
How twisted is that?
I was kinda loving the first few months of the pandemic in 2020 when gas in Quebec and Ontario was around a dollar a liter!
Hadn't seen that in like 20 years.
Remember when we were approaching Y2K and people were complaining that gas was going to hit a whole dollar!?
In the late 90's it was like 70 cents a liter.
Time flies.

The Kona is 20K more for the EV vs ICE. I can pick up 800 bucks of dividends plus capital gains on that. Unless I was to do a metric butt ton of driving it would never pay off.
If I was to do a metric butt ton of driving, based on every long distance Tesla video I've seen I'd have to replace the battery before the car wears out, that's another 20K.

I have no problem with EVs but they just are not there yet. An Austrialian guy came to the same conclusions except without using lost income.

Never mind the range isn't the range because as I understand it, if you wish to max out your battery you should keep it in the 20 to 80% range, winters can lop 25% off the top and there is degradation.
Whenever I see someone with a Tesla I don't know if I should laugh at the driver or look down on him as some sort of signal virtue twat.

Time flies.

Like money out your pocket.

Speaking of filling up late at night. Where I live the price goes down after 9pm. Not sure why.
Then goes back up early in the morning for people going to work.

I've noticed that at one particular station in Barrie.

There is no equivalency there at all, in fact a significant imbalance. Do you know the answer to my question?[/QUOTE]

Nope. It makes no sense to analyze just one part of the whole equation between electric and gas powered vehicles. It is multi multi factorial.

Come back to me when you've analyzed and compared every factor. And I mean every single factor from start to finish.

I'd be shocked if it hasn't already been done by people in the gas/oil industry in an effort to hopefully justify that we should keep using gas. For some reason I haven't seen any big headlines exposing the fallacy of this whole movement to electric. It truly would be huge news and widely known. Any NYT headlines?

Cherry picking is useless and a distraction.

Don’t know where it is in Canada but expect this to be the new normal

Thought i had seen on news that's it's BC somewhere .

Also heard that gas in Toronto will be $1.85 come sunday morning .

thats not even including the burning of the gas while your car is running for the hour waiting and the pollution to the environment.
