How many of you own an EV?

[Grit_dog]

I know a few folks on here do. Have posted pics and relevant info etc.
But with the proliferation of threads arguing about how great and economical they are, how many of y'all, especially the noisy proponents own EVs and what are they?

Simple. They will charge them with gas powered generators. :B Except in California where gas powered generators will be illegal.

Maybe hydrogen is the answer.
Fwiw Im in now way afiliated w this company

From coatesengine.com

Wall Township, NJ – (Globe Newswire – February 24, 2022) For Immediate Release: Coates International, Ltd. (COTE) and Advanced Hydrogen Power, Ltd. (the “Companies”) have received firm orders amounting to $7,125,000,000 USD for their CSRV® Hydrogen (H2) Electric Power Industrial Generators including the H2 Reactors.

These units are coupled together as one power unit.
The R&D on these new technologies is complete. The first production models are being built now.
The 100 K.W., 150 K.W. and 200 K.W. units are expected to start shipping out to customers this year. 1 M.W. units are expected to start shipping out to customers in 2023.

We believe that these CSRV® Hydrogen (H2) Industrial Electric Power Generators including the H2 Reactor are the cleanest and lowest emission power units in the world and will help resolve global warming.

Company President and CEO, George J. Coates, EE ME, comments: “A lot of companies are announcing that they are going to do this and that with H2.
Here at Coates International, Ltd. we have done it successfully with our CSRV® Engines and Hydrogen Reactors operating successfully in our New Jersey Plant.

I would like to point out the fact that Gaseous Hydrogen H2 is an extremely minute atom and will pass through the stem of a standard poppet valve and fill up the engine housing with Gaseous Hydrogen that can explode the engine at any time.

This cannot happen with the CSRV® H2 Engines as there are no passages from the CSRV® system into the engine housing so we have the only engines in the world that are safe to operate on Gaseous Hydrogen (H2).
Our Sequential H2 Fuel Injection System injects the H2 gas directly into the cylinder. We have designed a proprietary blow back system on our Hydrogen Reactors and our CSRV® Industrial Hydrogen H2 Systems are the safest in the world.”

Simple. They will charge them with gas powered generators. :B Except in California where gas powered generators will be illegal.

The president of Toyota Motor Corporation said this week that adhering to California’s plan to ban gas emission vehicles will be "difficult" to achieve, and battery powered cars will take longer to phase in than the "mainstream media" believes.

"Realistically speaking, it seems rather difficult to really achieve them," Toyota Motor Corporation President Akio Toyoda told reporters through a translator on Thursday discussing California’s new mandates.

"But just like the fully autonomous cars that we were all supposed to be driving by now, BEVs are just going to take longer to become mainstream than the media would like us to believe," Toyoda told car dealers at the event.

Mr Toyoda probably never heard of Tesla record profits and huge demand for their cars.
Oh well you snooze you lose Lol

Japan has to import every drop of oil they consume.
Big oil probably pays big money to Toy man to spread anti ev nonsense.

Solar and evs make lots of sense considering how much sunshine that place receives.

A lot can change in the course of 13 years.

I don’t know why oil corporation’s are standing by and not perfecting hydrogen fuel refining and distribution. Every automobile manufacturer has hydrogen powered vehicles ready to go to market at considerably lower cost and pollution free.

Current cost of hydrogen is 4x that of gasoline. Electric is half the cost of gasoline.

Only if they are fuel cell based.
