The article is talking abut some anecdotal driver that left his house fully charged and got stuck on the hwy. What about people who may have been driving for a few hours and got stuck in the blizzard?? What about the trucks and comercial vehicles that were delivering product cross country?? Would they still fare better with an EV?
No they wouldnt. Does the article ponder what if the power had gone out during the blizz aw rd as it did in Texas last year for days?? What would you have done with your EV paperweight then?
Ive never been stuck in a traffic jam and had to worry about choking on fumes entering my cabin. Unless you are sitting there with your windows down in a blizzard. 
Like why are you so obsessed with your electric vehicles, are you just trying to be cool with the latest fad? |
Don't know whether you're aware that there is a broad world wide consent that blizzards, floodings, storms, and other forms of extreme weather are caused by CO². To avoid further accelerated environment detoriation, the BEV are suggested. You got the story entirely inversed. |
Whilst I'm not calling your statement idiotic, it is in fact idiotic to assume only cars produce CO². It's equally idiotic to assume only CO² is responsible for climate change, and even more idiotic to think EVs are the answer to everything.
EVs present another nail in the coffin and you'll be holding your head down in shame when you find your grandchildren in dismay come 30 or so years when most natural resources and rare-earth minerals used in producing EVs have been depleted to, and for, nothing because - let me say this slowly so it's easy to comprehend, EVs ARE A NET POLLUTER when you consider the damage they cause to the environment just to produce 1 single EV.
Finally, how does the electricity you charge EVs with get produced? Gas turbines, diesel or coal-fired power plants, or wind and solar? The first three blow any argument for EVs out of the water, because more gas/diesel/coal has to be burnt creating more CO² trying to produce electricity for those "emission-free" EVs.
We already know what a nightmare the wind turbines have become thanks to their short life cycle and, largely, not being recyclable. Solar energy, well maybe, but all your solar panels will be useless and have to change every ten or so years.
No, EVs are not the solution, they are part of the problem
and the problem is, going in head first without thinking about consequences.
We as a species keep making the same mistakes hoping for better results
