I’m pretty dire at maths but it’s easy enough to roughly work out what chaos would be caused by every car owner charging a car every night just based off your current electric usage and the cost of ‘filling’ these cars.
Also, if it’s all about the environment why are these electric cars not as slow as possible? They should be as light and slow as possible to sip on that battery. People seem to think it’s fine to drain a tesla doing drag launches and charging it up every 5 mins! In the US 64% of their electricity comes from burning fossil fuel!
I don’t buy it to be honest. Best thing we could do is limit the amount of kids people churn out.
You and I are on exactly the same wave length.
I cannot understand why we do not solve the earths eco issues with a large decrease in population over the next few hundred years. massive incentives for no children and less for one child. The probable reason is that economies are based on growth and we need more bums on seats to keep that going.
I do have an electric car on the fleet as I wanted to try one but I am certain that in the current guise it is not the solution...they would need to be solar charged or other...not fossil fueled.
Carbon capture internal combustion or some form of hydrogen seems sensible...if carbon really is the issue / cause
I also believe in working as one world...stop trying to breed people and keep them alive in baron parts of africa...move life out, let it re-wild and collect solar energy from those hot places for the whole world to use...it is the same with places like iceland, they have more geothermal energy than they could ever use..they only touch a tiny percentage.
We could cool the planet with a super sized refrigerator with the heat exchange out of the atmosphere.
