Electricity was never meant to move heavy things

[tunafishha]

What's more economical?
-a 20k 4 cylinder that sips gasoline while moving 3000lbs

-Or a Tesla that cost 40k, weighs 3500lb.

Everyone talks about the cost of charging, but once more evs come into the picture, things are going to increase tremendously.

will never own an ev crew

Thats what you said about twinks a few years ago bro.

Thats what you said about twinks a few years ago bro.

i had to make an exception for the bussy bro.

No chit, electric semi trucks have been a complete disaster for many good reasons.

[vickissick07]

Cali already has blackouts because their power grid is garbage.....Imagine adding millions of EV's to that grid....just LOL

Wrong, check out Nikola.

Lol @ thinking anybody is going to go for chitty EV semis when all the truckers hate them because they're too heavy and inefficient.

They do not charge fast and so they are of no use.

They were out in the 1930s and did not work then either.

There's probably a hundreds of millions who do not have a place to charge them. There is no way to have enough charging stations for people in a well populated area to charge them.

Sounds about right. The whole alternative energy market has been one of the biggest scams of the past decade.

A 20K 4-cylinder is going to have dog shiet torque, especially in comparison to EV. just lol

Weight is one of the biggest factors when it comes to commercial hauling. Batteries are very heavy.

Just seen a test where they take a 1500 v8 vs a long range f150 lightning pulling identical trailers. The lightening only made it 90 miles and the truck made it almost 3x further.

Yup, EV's are notoriously inefficient at hauling.

Another big problems with EV's with hauling is a lack of gearing. With an ICE a commercial truck can have something like an 18 gear transmission if they need one, giving them a ratio for just about any speed. With EV's they more or less tend to have just one speed. That makes a difference.

Just lol at thinking Ev's were going to take over

Correction: BATTERIES aren't meant to move heavy things a long way on their own

There are turbines producing 1 million horsepower attached to a generator, they're the size of buildings

Torque aint that important if you arn't hauling heavy trees after cutting it down. For everyday driving you don't need that much HP or torque.

Its not powered by electricity though.

I can't wait when our pavements are covered in fat charging cables everywhere like snakes on a plane with chavs start fuking with them stealing elect. Then the power grid getting merked when everyone plugs their car in at 6pm.

[Azzurri]

Was gonna post this.

It's 85 miles on a full charge. Imagine towing and having to charge like every hour for 30-60min. LMAO

There was also a study done on various tradie vehicles like JCB diggers. The weight of these things if they were elect would make them impossible to transport to where they would to be used.

How often do you doofus's tow? I'm talking about torgue in relation to commuter vehicles. It would hands down improve the driving experience. LOL at misc grasping for outliers.

[EasyPassive]

Even your mom's big fat dildo?

The whole fukking conversation is about towing you dim bulb

Just because everyone obese AF. Doesn’t mean heavy things was referring to passengers.
