Electric Cars Are Not The Answer - 36 Gallons For 200 Miles = 5.6 Mpg ??? Insane / Insanity

From an anonymous State Trooper …

I’m not a fan of all electric vehicles.

Too many variables affecting battery consumption.

Definitely not suited for cold climates.

The following experience just cements my distaste for EV’s, especially Teslas.

I get sent to a motorist assist the other day, at the start of our snow storm.

Tesla on the side of the interstate, dead battery.

So I arrive on scene and the occupants have the right-front door open.

They tell me that they can’t open any other doors, because the battery is dead.

Sure enough.

Can’t open the doors from inside or outside.

The driver also can’t get her license out of the glove box where she put it during their trip.

Because the glovebox opens electronically… and the battery is dead.

You actually have to use the computer in the center of the dash to open the glovebox.

They said they had 10% battery left, should’ve been plenty to get from that location
to the charging station nearby.

Then all of a sudden the whole car shut off and they coasted to the shoulder.

So now I have to find them a tow.

No one wants to tow EV’s.

Finally found one company to do it. 8 mile trip to the charging station in Tomah.

$1,000! Normal vehicle on the flatbed would’ve been $150.

So now we’re at the Tesla superchargers.

Guess what. Can’t open the f’n charging port because the battery is dead!!!

The ports open, you guessed it, electronically!!! .

And we also can’t open the doors now
(had to close the one open door when it was loaded onto the wrecker).

The owners manual is in the on board computer, but the battery is dead.

I got the occupants to a store where they’d be warm while calling the rental company
to figure out how to charge this POS, so I’m not sure of the outcome.

I had to leave for a crash report.

EV’s may be the way, someday, but certainly not today!!

I’ll stick with my dinosaur burner.

#Battery #electric_car
DID YOU KNOW that Batteries do NOT make electricity
- they store electrity that has been produced elsewhere,
primarily it is done by utilizing coal, uranium,
natural gas-powered plants, or diesel-fueled generators...
so, to say an EV is a zero-emission vehicle is a LIE,
and, is NOT at all a valid statement of truth !!!

Exactly one year after purchasing the electric Mustang Mach-E, I'd like to share my thoughts,
pros and cons of driving an all electric car.
Pros:
1. Driving is like nothing I've experienced! The acceleration and power is so smooth and luxurious.
What a ride!

2. Don't have to buy gas.

3. Low maintenance!!! No oil changes! Fewer moving parts equals less parts breaking down.

4. City driving is amazing! The car battery excels in slow, stop and go conditions.

Cons:
1. Winter driving is very stressful. The battery drains very quickly in the cold.

Heating your cabin in extremely cold temperatures is sometimes impossible!

At minus 35 degrees Celsius, your windshield will freeze over as NO HEAT will be provided!

That's right...only cold air in very cold climate!

3. Charging your car takes much longer in the winter.
Traveling to Ottawa once, it took 90 minutes to charge my car from 20% to 80% at a level 3 Charging spot.

4. The anger and frustration when you pull up to a fast charger off the highway
and it is "out of order" is out of this world! It happens too often!

5. Everywhere you travel to, extensive careful planning is needed because fast chargers (level 3)
are not easy to find in working order.

6. Highway driving drains your battery very fast at speeds greater than 100kms per hour.

In Summary:

1. My Mustang Mach-E is not a practical car for my job. I put 30,000kms in one year.
If we have a colder Winter next year I'll be miserable!

2. The infrastructure is a joke for non- tesla cars. I cannot imagine doubling the electric cars on the road
with the current available fast chargers. The wait lines and times to charge will increase arrival times
on long trips by many hours!

3. Electric cars are not very efficient on the highway if you like to drive fast.
In my opinion, a plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) car would be ideal.
PHEV cars can drive electric in the city, saving you on gas.
Then choose gas to drive efficiently on the highway. Win-win!

I sold my Mustang Mach-E and I am on a waiting list to buy a PHEV.

It was a fun ride while it lasted but very impractical for my line of work.

Our cold Quebec winters and the very poor infrastructure adds to my obvious decision.

Our governments want to put a holt on the production of internal combustion engines by 2035.

Good luck with that!

The current infrastructure is a joke. I do not have any faith it can be improved to meet the future demand.
