FINALLY! somebody gets what I am trying to say.The idiocy of all this is that if we are forced to go to electric cars, the infrastructure can't handle it. There is only so much juice to go around. If every house on your street is charging a tesla on a 20 deg. F winter night where is the juice to run your furnace going to come from?
Secondly, if you live in an area supported by a coal fired power plant, your fancy car is providing worse carbon emissions than your neighbor's gas powered car.
Thirdly, my friend (who is a tree-hugger) bought one of those newfangled lectric cars. I was impressed. It was quiet and smooth. Then I learned it weighed 5000 pounds. No wonder.
Unfortunately, on his way home he his a widdle baby deer and the car was totaled....so much for aluminum bodies and plastic seats.
It all will be over soon. When coal is outlawed many industries (and workers) will be gone. We already have 2 horses - plan to buy another one so I can go to the launch ramp and fish off the dock....
How does this affect the handling? What if it sinks? Oil and water don’t mix but the elements of a battery can cause serious contamination. Do the batteries have some airbag that floats them to the surface? I do see electric propulsion having a place but not without environmental concerns.The other part about these electric boats is they are extremely light. Part of the reason they increase the efficiency is because they are prob 25-50% of the weight of traditional gas boats.
Not at all there are several with one an ETF-Mind sharing which company that is? I've invested a bit in EV's and the power source companies.
First off, the original question had nothing to do with any of that stuff. You injected that into this post. There are a lot of jobs in the EV markets. You have already identified that the current infrastructure can't support EVs, so the infrastructure will need to be built. That's jobs. Technicians will need to be trained to work on EVs. More jobs. There will be new technology to spin off from this. More jobs... We can either get on board and make those jobs in the US, or Europe/China will gladly take them.And as usual the conversation was gone away from the original question. Not what is more efficient. What is going to happen to the millions of jobs tied to the ICE industry. Even on here no one has a clue. Neither does our illustrious leaders who all want to go electric.
My son is a very good car mechanic by trade. And young. I guess his career will be gone in 10 years.
75% of the local marinas will no longer work on gas inboards

Sorry, i dont get it.
Went yesterday. For 5 minutes. Put $23 and filled tank. Will last 2 weeks, 400 miles.
EV lovers will go home, drag out a cord, plug in. Every night. In the rain snow cold.
To save $23? Stop just stop.
I don’t think they recommend charging every single night. Unless it’s needed. At your rate you’d charge once a week. Literally 30s to plug it in and walk away. You are making a stink over nothing. In fact the opposite argument is much more logical. Filling up at gas stations where you might get mugged and have to touch a handle they hundreds of other touch. That’s just barbaric.Sorry, i dont get it.

He is using his grocery store fuel points for his calculations.I'm not following your math here.
Did you only filled the tank of the Veloster 1/2 way? Quick math - $23 of fuel / $3.50 current price is 6.57 gallons (or maybe less). Veloster rated fuel capacity is 13.2 gallons. At an EPA rated 31 mpg combined use, that 6.57 gallons will cover 204 miles over the 2 weeks. I don't see how you are getting 400 miles out of $23 of fuel. That's 61 mpg (400 miles / 6.57 gallons).
I put $60 of gas in my tank last night. Indicated range was 400 miles. Even going to my office only 2x a week, it will last about 2 weeks (including other driving around town /errands). When I was driving to the office daily I was filling up every 4-5 days or so. I have a 10 year old sedan that's averaging 21.4 mph.
I think most vehicles today are not getting the efficiency of a Veloster - whether its 31 mpg or 61 mpg - and can't fill a tank for $23 so it's not a valid comparison. Many people also seem to be driving more than you are.
$100 and the pump shuts off. Then my credit card is rejected for a refuel at the same pump. Get out another credit card and put another $50 in. That 6.2 boss drinks gas but less than the v10 or 7.3 Godzilla.
I am more bothered by parking my 176” wheelbase truck than fueling it.
This is not true. GM announced by 2035 they will sell only EV vehicles. The Biden administration announced a goal of 50 percent of all vehicles as EV sales by 2030.2035
