On an EV road trip to promote green tech, the US Energy Secretary and her entourage couldn’t find enough electric vehicle chargers
On an EV road trip to promote green tech, the US Energy Secretary and her entourage couldn’t find enough electric vehicle chargers. Meanwhile, there’s a spot in Central California at Harris Ranch in Coalinga (photo above), with chargers all over the place. We stopped there last Saturday and saw 2 cars hooked up. Oh, the big lot has a diesel generator hooked up to it. Go figure.
The caravan of electric vehicles heading from Charlotte to Memphis over the course of four days hit a snag in Grovestown, Georgia. The group was planning a quick charge when they realized there wouldn’t be enough electric vehicle chargers to go around since one was broken and the others were in use, NPR reported.
So an employee from the Department of Energy tried to save one of the spots using a gas-powered car.
It was a sweltering day and the move didn’t go over well with a family that was also waiting for a charging spot. The situation escalated to the point that the family, driving with a baby in their car, called the police, who didn’t have the authority to act because blocking an EV charging spot with a gas-power car isn’t illegal in Georgia, NPR reported.
Scratched EV battery? Your insurer may have to junk the whole car
Scratched EV battery? Your insurer may have to junk the whole car. Yet more, go woke-go broke. Now EV’s cost more to run than gasoline cars, and now the insurance is going to be higher, not to mention the environmental costs. Another joke foisted upon us by the greentards.
For many electric vehicles, there is no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents, forcing insurance companies to write off cars with few miles – leading to higher premiums and undercutting gains from going electric.
And now those battery packs are piling up in scrapyards in some countries, a previously unreported and expensive gap in what was supposed to be a “circular economy.”
“We’re buying electric cars for sustainability reasons,” said Matthew Avery, research director at automotive risk intelligence company Thatcham Research. “But an EV isn’t very sustainable if you’ve got to throw the battery away after a minor collision.”
Battery packs can cost tens of thousands of dollars and represent up to 50% of an EV’s price tag, often making it uneconomical to replace them.
UK EV Owners Switching Back To Gasoline
UK EV Owners Switching Back To Gasoline. Yep. When waiting to charge your EV looks like NIxon’s gas lines, it’s time for a change.
Tesla tailback at Tebay.
Around 40 cars waiting to charge yesterday. The future?

Firefighters use 6K gallons of water to extinguish Tesla that ‘spontaneously’ caught fire
Firefighters use 6K gallons of water to extinguish Tesla that ‘spontaneously’ caught fire. This must be a new feature. A car so smart, it lights itself on fire on cold days so the passengers can warm up and roast some marshmallows.

Electric Cars Are Now Being Targeted For Overloading The Electric Grids During An Energy Crisis
Electric Cars Are Now Being Targeted For Overloading The Electric Grids During An Energy Crisis. Go woke and your battery will choke.
The alert comes as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) called on residents to conserve energy. They have asked the state’s residents to refrain from using electricity from appliances and more to stop the grid from being pushed to near-emergency conditions.
Tesla stepped up to help the state with a new in-car alert to owners in the state, encouraging them not to charge during peak hours.
“A heat wave is expected to impact the grid in Texas over the next few days. The grid operator recommends to avoid charging during peak hours between 3 pm and 8 pm, if possible, to help statewide efforts to manage demand”, an in-car alert sent to Tesla owners reads, as reported by Electrek.
Democrats Don’t Want You To Know How Much Fossil Fuel It Takes To Power Electric Cars
Democrats Don’t Want You To Know How Much Fossil Fuel It Takes To Power Electric Cars. Biden gives another win to China and another screw job to Americans. When is Hunter Biden getting his next check from CCP Xi?
In reality, one of Tesla’s Supercharger stations was reported to get 13 percent of their energy from natural gas and 27 percent from coal. Power plants burn coal to generate electricity to power electric cars and emit a higher fossil fuel footprint than the left would care to admit.
By increasing our use of electric cars, the United States will require more lithium batteries and will further rely on China to sustain our supply. While the current energy crisis could be an opportunity for America to increase our energy independence, the current administration refuses to take advantage.
