Flying J / Pilot to install megachargers for med/heavy trks

[Reisender]

Interesting read. If you want to pull a fifth wheel with a medium or heavy truck your fueling situation just improved. Probably future bus conversions as well.

They are also adding CCS chargepoints for lighter vehicles although under a different program.

Times are a changing.

Perzactly!
Yet it’s not irrelevant when making a calculated decision or analysis of SO many other things.
Like say, being able to calculate the amount of rare earth metal used PER VEHICLE or more accurately per vehicle mile.
Not trying to start an argument here, but the turnip truck that I fell off of dropped me in engineering school and if I was to casually dismiss “arithmetic” and statistics whenever convenient, people would be dead and I would be best case unemployed or in jail, worst case dead as well…lol.

I want to take a fox, a goose, and some corn across the river. I can only take one at a time with me in my boat. How can I do this, when the fox will eat the goose, the goose will eat the corn, if left unattended? Help!!

Take the goose, go back and take the coyote across and bring the goose back on the return trip, then take the corn across leaving the goose, go back and get the goose. Any more stupid questions? Or can we be done with the stupid riddles that have no bearing on the original post?
Seeing as it was an IQ test, do I get extra credit if I have two solutions?
I Buy a bigger boat and cut my workload way down.

Ron...sorry to say, that you have a reading comprehension issue here.

Where in the quiz, was there any mention of a coyote??

Otherwise correct, and now back to our regular programming.

What you've written is based on assumptions and presumptions and has nothing to do w math. Compare the scale of EV's produced vs the amount of gasoline consumed and get back to us on total amount of cobalt used. And just one other thing to consider is the potential to recycle the EV batts and the cobalt they contain.


And while we're using batts to carry electrical energy at the moment once roads are electrified there won't be near the need for big batteries as this process continues.

ROFL, I'm not sue of which of your statements to laugh harder at...
But allow me to help you out...
I gave the numbers (idk if they're right, jsut like the rest of yall don't know what youre claiming based on your super sleuth searches on the web). We aren't getting into a "cite your sources" discussion I hope. But whatever.
If you can't do the math with the numeros I actually did include, then you're, umm, cant say that word, umm, cant talk about IQ....we will just say you're either simple or obtuse...

Regarding more gas cars than EVs on the road affecting the total numbers....I'll just leave that one alone, because I now know you're either clueless or have an agenda. But I will say apples to apples....think about it.

And you let us know how the ole induction charging technology and infrastructure is coming along....LOL!

Some clowns do try to be funny. :S

Not at all like a hybrid. A hybrid uses the cotton first then when the cotton is gone it uses the wool.

I put the cotton on first and put the wool over top of them.

Shelby...that is going to be a tough decision, gonna take some thought.

The part I'm missing...math has nothing to do with solving this problem.

Here's one for the big brain math whizzes. Say your feet are chilly, you want to put on some socks. You have wool and cotton. You have 5 pair of wool and two pair of cotton. The wool are warmer and you have a good supply. But but but.... you've become allergic and the wool will cause a terrible rash. The docs say it will turn to gangrene and kill you. Which pair do you choose? Let's just stipulate that hoping for a pair of polyester to show up isn't an option.:h

Currently (no pun intended) that's about $2M per mile. When pigs fly.

Maybe right next to the nuke plant in the middle of Cornhole, Kansas, for the induction elements only.
He!!, I build roads that are over $100M/mile, not including the slot car track!
