The Truth About Electric Cars. Each Individual Charging Station Is Using The Equivalent Power Of 280 Homes Every Hour 🚨

If All Chargers At One Station Are Being Used, The Power Being Used Is Equivalent Is 1,080 Homes Every Hour

“I think I'm just doing a quick little video here just to give people an idea of how much energy it takes to charge an electric vehicle. I'm at Electrify America. This is a 350 kilowatt station. I'm consuming roughly 137 kilowatts. It'll fluctuate. Sometimes I can go up to the full 350. But to put this into perspective, an average home consumes 1.25 kilowatts per hour. 135 kilowatts per hour. It's like the equivalent of 106 homes on the grid, just this one station. Now, if I was gonna get the full 350 kilowatts like these can supply, that would be the equivalent of 280 homes.

Now think about all six chargers running at full capacity. That's like 1,080 homes on the grid.

Just a little food for thought. It's things people don't realize the amount of energy it takes to fast charge these batteries. It's a huge amount of electricity. And now you understand why the electric companies can't even supply that much power to one spot. It's like think of 1600 homes and how much copper and wire that would take to supply that many houses. So yeah, it's pretty cool. Somebody else just pulled in and yeah, there goes another 280 homes on the grid as soon as he plucks in. So just a little food for thought. I do love my electric vehicle. They're awesome. They're quiet, but it's just something that people don't really think about.

Show you my dash. They're great cars. I really like them. So you forget about range and all that. I'm just talking about what it takes to fast charge one. It's it's a ridiculous amount of money. Okay. Now I'm at like a hundred. So that's like a hundred homes right there. Hundred and twenty kilowatts because one point two one kilowatts per hour is what a is what a house uses. So yeah.

They got to figure something out because to have every car in America on the grid, it's going to be... I don't even know what those numbers would be. Well, just food for thought. And I thought I'd talk about it while I'm sitting here charging, waiting. It's another thing. Got to wait here for 30 minutes. And then sometimes Electrify America.

Half of these chargers are broken. Or I think they're throttling them down because of the grid can't even handle it. So I think that's what's happening. I don't know. But like, for instance, this one here wasn't working. So oh yeah, look unavailable. You know, there you go. That's usually the case. So either you're waiting in line for somebody or half of these chargers don't even work. And I don't I'm not complaining. Maybe I sound like it. But it's it's an issue and hopefully they figure this out. And where's the electricity coming from at night? It's not solar. And I don't know. You guys can comment and blow steam, whatever you want. I just wanted to show you what it's like and give you a little concept of the amount of energy used. All right, talk to you later.”

Some things never change

I was always so hyped up for remote control cars as a kid.

They looked cool, could rip around crazy fast when you got the nice ones etc…

But I eventually found out batteries can go to chit, it’s a bunch of cheap plastic just attached to a battery. And not really anything special just more cheap plastic garbage. The reality of owning a cool remote control car just didn’t live up to the fantasy I had made in my head.

So I stopped being a fgt and started wanting something with a motor and no stupid battery chit.

It’s a cycle. I was lucky enough to figure it out when I was a kid. Hope these evcels eventually learn.

direct hit in the feelz.

I remember I got a remote control car back in the day for christmas and like the thing would last for 20 minutes before I had to recharge the batteries (which took like 8 hours). I remember the car only zipping around fast for like 5 minutes before going into touring mode.

ehh well you can't really blame our politicians.......... right?

they don't know anything about chit and just do whatever the lobbyist say.

But Elon musk can power all of America if we give him all our monies and let him build a giant battery farm in the desert.

(Actual legit 9D chess, become richest man in world thanks to subsidies and stock manipulation, then when your on the downstroke, hit em with the energy crisis your cars caused and the back pocket solution of providing the new necessary massive energy supply.)

he's literally one of the few people trying to better humanity rather than sell out. go back to reddit with this unwarranted hate

[Polaris]

That doesn't sound very sustainable (large scale) or eco friendly.

Yeah man totally just accidentally became richest man in world, was just trying to better humanity.

Also my post was a compliment. Maybe you should go to Reddit you liberal soy cuck.

[niospecv]

Harness free electricity that is around us. Nikola Tesla knew this.

name another car that has made it into mainstream & become succesful. name another person that has made space travel more possible, name another person that has bough a platform and enforced free speech. get of MSM and think for your self. reddit hates elon so you've contradicted your brain dead self. youve more in common with them commies than me

[anonkunbrah]

That's why you're supposed to get solar panels for your house in addition to the car

I thought unicorns farted it out?

[yabbayabba]

I'm sure one of the Teslatards will be along to tell us about instant acceleration.

[yewotm8]

350 kW is insane. Tesla supercharger are nowhere near that fast, and the cars themselves cannot be charged that fast. And if they could, they would charge one in far less than an hour. Why would he even mention the power instead of the energy in kWh? Really retarded reporting and article.

EVs are not gonna be good for everybody but when you read chit like this all you are left with is that the guys writing it and being interviewed are retarded.

What the fuk are you even talking about?? Get off msm? You listed a whole bunch of chit I said nothing about. You accuse me of watching things I don’t watch and hating him for reasons I don’t hate him.

I actually like and respect the guy.

You seem to think things like manipulating short sellers with stock bonus schedules and fake tweets are something bad?

Now that’s a Reddit stance. Not only that but you seem to be deluding yourself about the reality of people who make hundreds of billions. I’m admiring and you seem to think I’m hating.

So you’re delusional and secretly a Reddit cuck. I don’t watch msm quit projecting bullchit onto me.

[proudmanlet]

well yeah if you want the scientific explanation it’s from the unicorns living inside your walls and farting from all the rainbows they eat

That would be the kind of EV I could get behind, or into rather. There's a video out there from the 50s where this older German guy was displaying his car made to run on electricity generated from magnets. Can't be bothered to find it but people knew about enhanced tech a long time ago. A reasonable question one could ask themselves is why do they want to introduce EVs but still need to be tethered by chargers and inefficient batteries?

There was an EV thread from over the weekend and that guy was dickriding it the whole time. He doesn't have anything constructive to add.

dick riding? saying the car is not out and has good advertising is now dick riding? only hate is allowed on this forum. dont expect anything more from you low life 40 year olds

[crupiea]

This may be true but teslas owners and politicians think electricity comes out of nowhere so its not really using anything.

I had one battery RC car then quickly switched to nitro cars, that smell of nitro fuel was hnnng. As an adult I dabbled in 5th scale 2 stroke RCs during lockdown but the thing kept fkin breaking and parts started getting costly. Dumped £700 into this buggy then sold it for £350 in the end. JFL

go get more therapy spastic

This is a classic sign to buy more tesla stock.

The moment positive articles begin to be copied and pasted will be time to take some profits.

[digital022]

Source of piss. And LOL @ the RC car comparisons. They didn't exactly have Tesla-level engineers developing the battery tech and the stakes were a tad bit lower back then, just a tad.

Exxon just announced they are going to begin mining lithium to feed the inevitable demand.

Saw this study this morning on the actual cost, once everything is added in, of charging an EV.

Yah but once you spend 50k on solar panels it’s free

[DanteEdmond]

You can't rely on gas forever. If not electricity, then what? ... maybe the next generation of EVs won't consume so much electricity
