I am on the fence about them, but fiscal policy has me with my back against the wall. My concerns:
-range and charging issues
-fire hazard
-possible health effects from electro magnetism
-maintenance and repairs
-resale value

Seems logistically impossible for them to be the default mode of transport. Where will all the charging stations be for the same volume of electric cars as petrol/diesel.
Consider a tower block for example and if each flat has 1 car or more, where are they gonna charge? When filling up on petrol you're in and out in a couple of minutes, turnover is quick, you can't have the same volume of traffic pulling in to charge, sitting there waiting, just too many things that won't work.

EV's prob okay for short trips & round town
as previously stated how the Fuck does a tower block full of people
charge their vehicles - There's to many obstacles for them to be
replacing ICE cars - Plus there character less = No great engine sounds.

Fuck electric cars, fuck Fanny packs,fuck crocs and don’t fuck fat chicks.

EVs have huge depreciation, so you can get good deals on them. Second hand ICE cars have been overpriced for years. And that does not seem to change.
I don't mind electric powertrains. But I hate the electric fold out doorhandles, the all touchscreen operation, no spare wheel, and all the super annoying "safety" software and sensors that bleep and boing all the time. Not to mention the car steering itself when and where I don't want it too.
But that alas also applies to many new ICE cars. I'm basically no longer interested in new cars because of the software and sensor overkill. And most are overly complex repair and maintenance nightmares.

Hybrid? Sure. All electric, no thanks

Why not get a tricycle like Bhanky?
No need to charge it.

Not just electric cars.
Electric lawnmowers, leaf blowers, power tools, motorcycles, bicycles, toothbrushes, etc.
Even electric military vehicles (tanks?).

Cordless battery tools is great idea and can’t be compared to charging cars .You charge your Dewalt screw gun ,circular saw or whatever keep going and second battery is charging while using one.
Cars do not have extra batteries to keep going without hassle of charging.

Depends on your general distance of traveling/commute.
And also if you can charge at home.
I would never get an EV not being able to charge at home I don't understand how you could make it work. You can't, basically.
For me it works because my commute is short and I can charge at home.
If I want to go far I have an old beater I can use.
But In general where I live gas prices are literally 2x of what US are. So much more worth it here with EV's.

I’m not ready yet. Cancelled my Cybertruck because it was ugly as fuck. As for the better looking EVs, I’m not stopping to charge every 200 miles on a trip. That’s gay and inconvenient.

Naaaaah just a $100 deposit. I could’ve ordered it in early October. I put the deposit down when it was around the time of the BLM riots and dindus standing in the road. I wanted the stainless steel and the impact windows.

I have actually been pretty keen on Hydrogen engines the last few months. I am thinking of investing in the tech we have a nearly unlimited supply of hydrogen, and it is clean. We already have patented hydrogen engines coming out of Europe. I am not so sure we will be going electric. Hydrogen may be the future.

I was at General Motor's Milfred proving grounds in 2005. At the time they had hydrogen fueling stations and were working on hydrogen powered vehicles. I was excited that we were going in that direction. Twenty years later, and nothing.

I feel a lot of cognitive dissonance. Several elements at play in my mind:
-the crushing weight of unscientific climate agenda and fiscal policy (zero % tax deductibility for ICE company cars and high taxation)
-my concerns about the health effects of sitting on a huge battery
-on the other hand; my concerns about exhaust fumes leaking into the interior of ICE cars and their health effects
I am not super concerned about range as I have a parking space at home where I could install a wall charger.

Is this a new rivian stock tip?
-
I don’t own one, but I’ve ridden in a few of my friends’ cars, and I like the technology. With fewer moving parts, they should have fewer mechanical issues. That said, I don’t think I’ll buy one for myself until they offer better range and more convenient home charging options.

Nerds has been talking about that since decades mostly to sound smart and cutting edge imo(as you do now)
It's not the future.Hydrogen stations are stationary bombs basically first off. As are the cars themselves. It's too complicated. and that drives up the price of the cars. The biggest country on EV's (cars per capita) Norway, the have been tried have been a massive failure so far. Too many points of failure aswell. Its an electric car essentially paired with the hyrdogen tech(expensive and complicated).
Also lets not go in to the fact that the difficulty and cost of harvesting hydrogen and transport it from point to point makes it a no go from the start.
Essentially you don't know what you're talking about as usual.

do you have any proof that humans are effected by sitting on an isolated battery?
sounds more like the people that put tinfoil on their heads when cellphones came about....

How you feel about them doesn’t matter; they are here and they are the future. You can hold on to a past mindset if you want to but that simply means you represent the past. Both my vehicles are ICE but my investments are in electric car companies—mainly in China. As I noted in another thread, China is the largest car market in the world and the majority of vehicles they make are now electric. Nio, Leapmotor, BYD, SAIC, Xpeng, Li and so many more. Even Tesla has been eclipsed by BYD in China. If I buy a third vehicle in the future it will be electric.

They are the future and will eventually replace current internal combustion engine vehicles.
However, I hope motorsport will retain fuel-powered engines and also move away from the hybrid engine/battery 'power units.'
But unfortunately, even in Formula One the next set of regulations will decrease the prominence of the power from the fuel powered engine and have half the HP coming from the battery. Seems they could be trying to get viewers gradually used to a shift, until they eliminate the fuel engines completely.
Electric cars are extremely boring for motorsport from an entertainment perspective.

Formula 1 already is extremely boring so no problem if they add electric. Perhaps a few exploding batteries might finally give some excitement!

EVs have more software and electronics problems.
Woke Jaguar even had to buy back nearly 3,000 iPaces because they could not solve the chronic problems:

Last season was good. This year should be interesting.
What might have made it more 'boring' is that the engines now hardly break as they have to use 4 power-units for 24 races, so they're quite de-tuned compared to before with lower RPM.
For instance in the 90's till early 2000's they used a new engine every race and sometimes even in qualifying, which were tuned to almost 20 000 RPM and so engine blow-ups happened more regularly and added some unpredictability in the season.
Also, the current rules hardly allow any on-track testing and there are now cost caps which teams are not allowed to go over, so if a team starts off dominant it's more difficult to close the gap. This is probably the biggest issue, in the past if the car was a dud they could bring in a B-spec, but now with the limits to track testing and the cost caps limiting the budget, its more difficult to develop or change the car.

“Estimates for large-scale implementation of dynamic wireless charging for EVs vary widely due to technological, economic, and regulatory challenges. Here’s a general outlook based on current developments:
1. Near-Term (2025–2035):
• Early adoption in specific regions (e.g., highways or urban areas) is likely. Test projects like those in France and Detroit could expand if successful.
• Deployment will likely focus on high-priority routes, such as freight corridors and densely populated urban centers.
2. Mid-Term (2035–2050):
• Broader infrastructure rollout is possible as technology matures and costs decrease.
• Governments and private sectors may collaborate to standardize charging systems, ensuring compatibility across different EV models.
• Advances in materials and energy efficiency could make retrofitting existing roads more feasible.
3. Long-Term (2050+):
• Widespread adoption could occur if dynamic wireless charging proves cost-effective and energy-efficient on a large scale.
• Integration with smart grid systems and renewable energy sources may further incentivize its use.
• The technology could eventually complement or replace traditional charging stations.
Key Factors Influencing Adoption
• Cost: Installing inductive coils beneath roads is expensive and requires significant investment. Scaling up depends on cost reductions through innovation.
• Efficiency: Energy transfer efficiency must improve to justify large-scale use.
• Policy: Government incentives and regulations will play a crucial role in driving investment.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Mass adoption depends on manufacturers integrating compatible receivers into EVs.

considering what they did to us during covid the itch at the back of my brain is a concern that they could have more control over the recharging and limit/cut it off to prevent people travelling long distances or specifically targetting anyone who speaks out against the faucis and other 'well intentioned' people connected to government. Perhaps a little tin-foil hat but had I suggested in 2018 what the next few years would unfold like I'd have been labelled a madman. And in all fairness I myself would have likely levelled the same accusation. I did come to my senses and start dreading the future when covid started to spread - not fear of the virus but of the reaction to it, and it showed how quickly we went into tyranny. I'll happily be wrong on such a thing, but if we still have ic engines, I can stock pile enough parts cheaply enough and run the thing on ethanol if I had to all from home and have enough parts to rebuild the engines if needed and last me the rest of my days. I've got a regular a-b car that is modern but I've also got two cars over 50 years old that have gotten regular use.
