On the other hand, in Denmark people are not allowed to get their hands on weapons that can fire a lot faster and do a lot more damage than a hunting rifle can.

Perovskites are a new kind of solar "cell" that can be sprayed onto surfaces much like paint. The problem has been that they weren't very resistant to degradation. It looks like that problem has been solved. But even at 30% efficiency, which is pretty much the best that solar cells can do, it would provide only a fraction of the current needed to continuously power an auto. Just not enough surface space on an auto.

Please share with me the source of your contention that an electrical substation will be necessary to service level 3 chargers. No. Charging times are on the decrease already, so people will charge their cars in spaces reserved for charging and then move on out.

Sometimes I post articles with links to peer reviewed studies and sometimes to the peer reviewed studies themselves. Whereas you just claimed that there was a article somewhere in Vox about a solar paint that could power articles but it was suppressed by the major auto companies. "By 2050 the cars will have solar paint and will be able to run continuously. The technology already exists, but the oil companies bought the patents and quashed it. It was in a peer peer review study I saw on Vox. " I called B.S. and you had nothing to back it up. Nothing. Because it is B.S. Something you invented.

Your math is faulty in that you cited parking space and charger space as not saving space compared to gasoline/petrol stations. As for claiming that EV prices will always be too high, is contradicted by the history of technological devices for consumers. And of course, the prices are already coming down. Just look in the threat about ev's in thailand to see for yourself. As for battery charging times, CATL, the world's largest battery factory, has announced that it has a battery with a charging time of 5 minutes for an 80 percent fill that will begin to be manufactures on a mass scale in 2023. At 80% it should have a range greater than 400 miles.

You make a claim and can't back it up. And you follow up with something equally empty.

Why would the locals hostile reaction to an American invasion even be relevant?( In fact, aid from Pakistan and Iran to the Afghanis against the American invasion was very effective.) The point is that aiding an indigenous population against a hated invader has repeatedly been show to be very effective. And I want to apologize for not thanking you before for providing all the examples, including the latest one, that show how effective that aid can be. Thanks a lot.

Why do you believe that a person couldn't be tracked? The year is 2022 not 1922. Why do you think detectives exist if not to track people in criminal investigations?

Have you considered that the Soviet Union's defeat in Afghanistan might be the more appropriate historical analogy? Remember that's when Americans aided the indigenous people to defeat the Soviet machine. Much like the way the USSR helped the Vietnamese defeat the Americans. And the Iranians helped to undermine the Americans in Iraq. Do you get the picture now? Outside aid to locals trumps foreign invaders.

McCarthy also noted it's a crime "to corruptly impede Contress from doing its job." So no need to consider the question of assault on Congress members.

Even with the combined space of a parking lot and charger, still less space will be taken up than at a gasoline/petrol station. Next you you get your car filled up, look for the area where the tanker trucks fill the fuel tanks. You'll note that it's a long way from the pumps. And you're still thinking along the lines that most charging will be done in the future as it has been done in the past. At dedicated stations. So, no, new bathrooms won't be required at free standing chargers, or shopping malls, or restaurants.

Another problem with your math is that you assume that there's going to be the same demand for chargers as there is for gasoline/petrol pumps. Also, that 20 minute wait time is already on the way to being a thing of the past.

B.S.

Have you seen a charger kiosk? In size they are less than the width of a parking space. Obviously they're going to take up a lot less space than a gasoline/petrol station with a need for many tanks of fuel.

I've already posted it in this thread. It's irrelevant whether I disagree with it or not. What is relevant is if it's peer reviewed and where it's published.

Once a fan told Samuel Becket that he'd been reading Becket's books all his life. Becket replied "You must be very tired."

You think that's an insuperable obstacle? Are ICE vehicles useless because they can't be filled at a condo? As I pointed out, CATL has now come up with a fast charging battery. Solid states batteries which are just starting to be used in EV's will charge even faster and hold more charge. In Taiwan and elsewhere, motorbikes are now replacing their batteries at special service stations when the charge gets low.

It's funny. Obama inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression. Yet right wingers consistently blame him for the damage done to the economy. But somehow, the rules are different for Covid's effect on the economy. In that case, not Trump's fault.

First off you claimed that the US became a net energy exporter in 2021. That is false, It became a net energy exporter in 2019. But inflation was also at 2 percent for most of the last 4 years of obama's presidency https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi As for unemployment. What don't you understand about trends? It wasn't as though there was a sharp decline in unemployment under Trump. The slope just continued downward. If he had accomplished something real in that regard, the slope would have changed. It didn't.

Isn't that the way it always is with new technologically advanced products?

Also, the biggest EV battery manufacturer in the world, announced it has a better that can charge up to 80% in 5 minutes. Not just that, but it should be able to go about 1000 kilometers on a charge https://insideevs.com/news/594134/catl-qilin-new-high-energy-density-battery/

I don''t understand why it's so difficult for some people to understand that most charging for those who have homes, will be at home. Moreover, lots of chargers are already being installed at shopping centers. Keep in mind that you don't need a lot of real estate to set up chargers. It's not like you need room for big tanks to hold the electricity.

You don't have much use for fact checking, do you? And when you do cite a fact, it's a misleading one. Here's a graph of us inflation rate over the past 10 years: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi#:~:text=Inflation Rate in the United,percent in June of 1921. As for the unemployment rate, do you notice a trend? https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate#:~:text=Unemployment Rate in the United,percent in May of 1953. The United States became a net total energy exporter in 2019 for the first time since 1952 and maintained that position in 2020 and 2021. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/imports-and-exports.php#:~:text=The United States became a,position in 2020 and 2021.

Plenty of pro-Trump witnesses have been invited to testify. They mostly refuse.

I decided to watch it. It makes him a bad guy because he didn't disclose he has a personal interest in debunking the use of electric vehicles. If he has anything pertinent to say, let him put it in writing where it can easily be fact checked. Did he offer any source for his information? And by the way, there has been lots of research comparing how much greenhouse gas ICE vehicles generate over their lifetime including manufacturing vs. how much EV's generate. EV's win. And batteries are getting more efficient all the time. And much more rapidly than he would have his audience believe.
