All the batteries and swappable or not will not make one bit of difference when there is no way to charge them... Maine forced to stop and think about EV mandate vote after widespread power outage

What powers the pumps at gas stations? Steam?

In fact, now that the price of battery backup is plummeting, there are already plans to install batteries at EV charging stations.

True, but how many buildings in LOS have solar panels on them, and that's in a sunny country all year round?

 

Once again western politicians have got it wrong. They should provide the electricity and THEN go for EVs. Without sufficient electricity it's a non starter.

A lot more than people think.  Our installer works non stop with a Q, as are other installers mentioned here, and all the ones I researched.

 

West is controlled by big oil, so they make sure the price is silly, and govt over regulate it.

Ya think that one day there will be only a few and the next day millions? Can you share with us how much capacity will have to increase to accommodate EV's? And at what rate?  Surely you wouldn't just offer an opinion without having any idea of what those figures might be.
