I mean… The main reason is people don’t have money for a new car. Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.

The gas and oil industries have paid TONS of money to keep people locked into gas vehicles.

Once again, the rich continue to fuck the rest of us.

Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.

You’re repeating big oil talking points. We improve the grid all the time, we can continue to do it. Sure if all cars were magically converted into EVs tomorrow we would have big problems, but that’s not how the real world works.

If the grid actually was about to fall over because of a few more EVs, these datacenters spinning up all over the place would be even bigger disasters than they already are.

I’m not using big oil talking points. I’m saying in reality, because of the damage that big oil has done to keep us from going electric, the infrastructure is not currently there.

They’ve paid money to keep us from expanding our grid. They are saying it won’t work because they are making sure it doesn’t.

I completely agree with you that I think it is absolutely possible, but there are bigger things blocking the way.

This is a pretend problem. When have EVs ever caused rolling brown outs?

Grid can’t handle the current of all the cars charging at once? Charge them slower. Get a battery bank for your home to smooth out the demand curve. Throw banks of supercaps at fast charging stations. Fix the fucking grid as you go. Use battery banks on the grid to even out demand at any level. Hell, you can use the cars themselves as battery banks and bring back rooftop solar tax breaks

It’s a fake problem, our grid and production do genuinely need work, but in practice EV adoption hasn’t been a limiting factor at all
