Better start building that electric grid across the country

 

Why, when you can just charge more for electricity?

If people prefer to pay 6 or 7 bucks a gallon why stop them?

Biden Administration Wants New Vehicles To Average 49 MPG By 2026

The Biden Administration, which is pushing automakers to get more electric vehicles on the road, is setting higher fuel-economy rules that require the average new car or truck to get nearly 50 miles per gallon of gasoline by 2026 as part of efforts to cut carbon pollution and save consumers money.

That would be nice but the time frame here is completely unrealistic

That's more than my hybrid gets. The only way to really achieve that is by replacing all other car types with electric vehicles. I just don't think we have the infrastructure in place to achieve that. Electric vehicles will remain only options for upper class city dwellers until their range increases and charging options become ubiquitous.

I think electric cars will be the standard at some point in my lifetime but forcing the technology isn’t going to help

That’s the crazy thing about this dumb shit. We’ve been going green for 20 years without any positive impact. It’s the old move the goal post. Just like covid the climate won’t improve until people begin to say enough of the dumb shit and move on with life

The electric cars and green energy isn’t going to stop the climate from changing but it will be a more plentiful and less expensive source of energy for consumers outside of California. I’m sure they will tax the shit out of electricity here in Cali

It will be less dependable and life will be less enjoyableI don’t see the cost savings emergingThe whole point is to regulate lives and freedom

Meh, look at electric cars 10-15 years compared to today. There has been significant improvements to the tech and that will still happen but we aren’t there yet

that's the fatal flaw in all of this. the power grid as it exists right now in california isn't capable of the demands that will be placed on it if we have 10 or 20 million electric cars in the next 5 years.

So what if they reach the target by improving gas mileage or adding more hybrids?

They should have required more hybrid vehicles and improve gas mileage while we build the electric grid across the country

It also would give time to the car manufacturers to develop cars that can go farther than 250 miles and be able re-charge faster

Rushing the electric cars on us in a short period will not work with the electric grid we have now

It's going to take more than 8 years to transition to 50% electric vehicles

 

FACT SHEET: The Biden-Harris Electric Vehicle Charging ...

President Biden has united automakers and autoworkers to drive American leadership forward on clean cars, and he set an ambitious target of 50% of electric vehicle (EV) sale shares in the U.S. by 2030. Now, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will supercharge America’s efforts to lead the electric future, Building a Better America where we can strengthen domestic supply chains, outcompete the world, and make electric cars cheaper for working families.

 

Lol at making cars cheaper for working families.

yeah, what redondo said.

Of course not. Because the dipshits will still line up to buy the 9 MPG SUVs then squeal like a stuck pig when gas prices go up

Electric cars will be great when the power is out.

Yes but I’m suspicious that most these battery car lovers have wives or ex wives whose sex life was also battery dependent

This is why I will not be in the same car with my mom if she was to drive on the freeway. I will always insist on doing the driving
