Another example of putting the cart before the horse. Are there plans underway to charge all the new EV's?
Last week in Texas proved how vulnarable the power grid is.
X2, and not thinking with the whole brain.
Currently electric "Appears" to be the big savior, but it is the hidden, not thought out consequences that is the issue.
Highways, pay per mile, but how to track?
The Grid, will it be ready.
Solar, fantastic in the southern states, but the further north, the less efficient.
Then what about ice storms? Texas, and parts of Oregon and Washington, were hit with ice storms in the last several weeks.
Then there is the producing and disposal of the batteries to operate.
Pay per mile can be tracked with each cars odometer,no?
All batteries can be recycled just as we do now.
Northern parts such as Alberta and Manitoba get enough sunshine even in winter to make solar feasible.
West coast BC not so much
If we can put men in space I would think we can make the grid work too,
btw isnt Texas grid separated from other states?
Well odometers can be altered, they would need to be sealed in some manner.
Well recycling of lithium is just getting started.
Solar there is a difference between feasible and efficient.
Well we were without power here in western Oregon for nine days, others are still without power, and still many lines down.
