Quoted from gdonovan:

Doesn't matter, environmentalists want the internal combustion engine dead.
Mazda came up with a great hydrogen powered package a decade or two ago. As it turns out a rotary engine is awesome burning hydrogen due it the large surface area of the rotor assembly.
California REFUSED to certify the drivetrain because the tailpipe emissions contained...wait for it... trace amounts of engine lubricant.

I don't hate EVs. I hate the people pushing them.

Quoted from usandthem:

More like "I hate HYBRID water heaters" thread- haha. They're much closer to being the EV of the water heater world. (Although I suppose that an electric water heater IS the EV of the water heater world, but what do I know?- Although for most households, those are more expensive to run than a gas one.)

Tankless water heaters are the way to go. Any tank is a waste of energy and resources.

That’s intimidating. I don’t like the Chinese govt.

China has been and always will be our greatest friends.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

Why is it "pretend"? Even a coal plant is ~2X more efficient than a ICE...
Now layer in the fact that 20% of electricity is from renewables and things get even more compelling....
Go to texas and 35% is renewables...
Sorry but sometimes reality is too complex to put into a meme...

Don't say that at Disney. They'll tell you he may well be a woman and just hasn't figured it out yet.

How are EVs powered again?

#5697 1 year ago
Quoted from xsvtoys:

TL;DR - fossil fuel
It depends quite a bit on the location. Some are powered almost all by hydro-generated electricity if they are near a big dam, which is great. In other places it can be a mix. Here in CA, it depends on when they are being charged. If it is at night, they are powered mostly by electricity generated by burning natural gas, with a slight bit of nuclear and wind in the mix. There are some plans being developed to try to change this, but for some time into the foreseeable future, the CA EVs are all mostly powered by fossil fuels.

Quoted from DBLM:

Jeeze, all of you are a bunch of whiney bitches. Like EV's, don't; who cares. Buy what you like for why you like it.

That is not the plan. You haven't been paying attention. Ask Toyota.
