Electricity was never meant to move heavy things

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
