Mind you, taking over an hour to recharge isn't anyone's idea of 'fast' to begin with.

Energy density is the only significant factor as far as range between refueling/recharging is concerned. Electric drivetrains could not compete with the internal combustion engine even if they were 100% efficient. The energy just isn't there, unless you make the whole car into a giant battery. But my understanding is that lithium ion batteries don't actually make for very good seat cushions or airbags.

I do breathe the exhaust of modern cars all day, because I live in New York. It's as clean as the exhaust coming out of my lungs--just CO2 and water vapor.

The reason you think it's pointless to talk to me is because you see that I actually know what I'm talking about and we fundamentally disagree. I'm sure you're used to people being less informed and more sympathetic to the green agenda, but you won't get that from me.

I think 'green energy' and eco-shitboxes are a scam sold by evil people and forced on us by unelected bureaucrats, and I'm pretty tired of people telling me I'm stupid and laughing at me for thinking so.



No, I don't like electric cars BECAUSE they are shit and they are never going to be "usefull". I think electric car racing is shit, because it is objectively shit, and that's why nobody watches Formula E. And manufacturers don't so much care about my opinion because the governments are forcing their hand and providing big subsidies to make these shitty cars. And still, hybrids are, what, 2% of vehicles on the road? Electrics? Not even 1%. People do not want this.

1. I actually read the quote article.
a) The owner who got slower supercharger charging has recharged using different fast-charging stations in total 300 times! If it was once per week it would amount to 6 years....
b) It says he got the charging power reduced by 25%, sure that is noticable but it would mean using say 40 mins instead of 30 for 90% capacity, not quite slow charging

2. Only important thing for a car is range? You seem to think so

3. Sure you live in New York on ground floor 30 feet of a busy road.. If you do and enjoy it... well that's your choice.

4. The reason it's pointless to talk to you is that you only see one side of the coin "because it's shit". Actually I'm rather neutral on electric cars vs petrol cars, in a sense that I think both have their uses. What I don't like is retarded arguments from each side. Since there are no retarded pro-electric arguments here, you are the one to laugh at.

5. "I think 'green energy' and eco-shitboxes are a scam sold by evil people and forced on us by unelected bureaucrats, and I'm pretty tired of people telling me I'm stupid and laughing at me for thinking so."
SAD!

Also you forgot climate change is a conspiracy made up by China.

6. "People" want what is cheaper. If petrol cars are cheaper they buy those. If electric/hybrids are cheaper (due to taxes in some countries), then they buy those instead.
