The Biggest S**m The World Has Ever Seen?

Has anyone thought about this?

If all cars were electric ... and were caught up in a three-hour traffic jam... dead batteries! Then what?

Not to mention, that there is virtually no heating in an electric vehicle, i.e. high battery consumption.

And if you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no heating, no windshield wipers, no radio, no GPS (all these drain the batteries) !!!

You can try calling 911 to bring women and children to safety!

But they cannot come to help you since all roads are blocked and they will probably require all police cars to be electric also (if we still have police departments then) !!!

And when the roads become unblocked no one can move! Their batteries are dead.

How do you charge the thousands of cars in the traffic jam? (That is a business I think I’d like to look into. Drones to deliver heavy batteries and someone to remove and install. In most cases this could take days for each car.)

Same problem during summer vacation departures with miles of traffic jams.

There would be virtually NO air conditioning in an electric vehicle. It would drain your batteries quickly.
Where is this electricity going to come from? Today's grid barely handles our needs. Can't use nuclear, natural gas is quickly running out. Oil fired is out of the question, then where?



No reporter talks about this of course!

You can’t even call in horses to rescue you.

The “wrecker” truck business is going to flourish….wrecks PLUS electric car fools! Stalled cars used to be a small portion of the business.

Electric vehicles motors are off when vehicle is stopped, so the only power drain are lights and environmental controls and can run all day on a single charge. Try this to avoid looking silly - research electric vehicles.

...it is why the big 3 haven't completely converted.

But, I will say, they are working on it. If everyone has the opportunity to work from home or staggered business...end of traffic jams.

Yep. Make it easy on yourself. No heater, no air conditioning, Just sit and roast or freeze your butt. Don't turn on the lights or radio either.
Simply stated. The whole thing is stupid. A gasoline powered car takes the energy produced by the combustion process and sends it to the drive wheels, having energy losses in the t***smission, differential and that is about it.
Now start figuring the total losses from the heat source in a generating plant to the drive wheels of your electric toy. If you can. I doubt it. Everything in the line, is an energy loss including even the wire carrying the juice, t***sformers, battery chargers even the battery itself and the electric motor. There ain't no free lunch.
