They fail to mention how much “Fossil Fuels “ it takes to produce these biofuels. I hauled a load(6200 gallons) of used cooking oil from Ocala to Houston to a refinery. I happened to burn diesel fuel in my truck. 😉 Turning seed to cooking oil .. growing seed ... errything in-between. True cost fight only counts towards the negative when it's something Cyclist doesn't like. Way less carbon use and emissions, cradle to grave, with biofuels versus fossil fuels. Do your research, talking out of your ass isn't doing anyone any good. |

Unfortunately for you there is no way biofuels can replace diesel. The numbers don’t lie. |

See guys, I can be civil sometime, even when a magaa moron lies. |

No such thing as fossil fuels unless you can show that plants and animals lived on Titan... which has more hydrocarbons than Earth.

See guys, I can be civil sometime, even when a magaa moron lies. Veggie oils are sourced from seed to the processor. Pretty simple. It gets delivered to a distributor, then used, then picked back up, brought to a holding area, then it gets processed. There's a lot of hands, fuel, and chemicals involved. If it was so great it would go from farm to fuel tank. That won't happen |

Dodge just announced their 2025 Ram 1500 that will have an engine to generate a charge for their electric drive motors. 600 mile range on a 97 kwh battery and 28 gal gas tank to run the gen set (actually a v6 engine). Interesting. Should satisfy those with mileage issues.

Interesting. Should satisfy those with mileage issues. 690 mile range, 663 horsepower, 625 lbs torque, 2600 lb payload, and 14,000 lb towing capacity. Zero to 60 in 4 seconds. They call it the Ramcharger. Sounds like one bad ass truck and can be yours for about $70,000. I saw a video on one model and it had some pretty cool features. If I win the lottery, I will add it to the list of vehicles I will buy. |

He's wrong about the U.S. too, but don't let that surprise you, he is wrong about everything. The problem with the surveys is some don't ask if you are selling your EV to buy an ICE. Many are two car households and have an EV for around town and an ICE for trips and towing and such. Most Tesla and luxury EV owners are very loyal and will replace the EV with another EV. 70% of those owners say they will get another EV. Also, the EV owners have not said they won't buy an EV again. There is a reason luapnor never sources any of his claims he posts. The surveys, depending on the questions asked, is all over the place, from 30% to 48% that say their next purchase would be an ICE vehicle, but even at 48%, that means the majority of EV owners would get a second EV. Hybrids like the Ramcharger above are becoming more popular and may be the vehicle of the future for many. |

I will replace my ICE vehicles with EV's when they solve the tow issue. I need an 8000# capacity tow vehicle. The RamCharger is an option, but I think they're going to introduce more extended range vehicles in the near future. Prices will drop.

Which makes the chart an eye opener. There is panic developing in the auto world over the investment in EV manufacturing. These SOBs are panicking their ass off. LOL "Volkswagen announced it intends to work with Rivian to create “next generation software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures” to be used in both companies’ future EVs. The joint venture will use Rivian’s “zonal hardware design” and platform as the foundation of future vehicles, as well as Rivian’s electrical architecture expertise for the vehicles. Rivian will license its existing IP rights to the joint venture." "In exchange, Volkswagen will invest an initial $1 billion in Rivian through an “unsecured convertible note that will convert into Rivian’s common stock,” with up to $4 billion in additional investment staged through 2026 for a total infusion of $5 billion." "Irving, Calif.-based Rivian's shares closed up 23.2% on Wednesday." finance.yahoo.com/news/rivian-stock-soars-as-volkswagen-says-it-will-invest-up-to-5-billion-in-new-joint-venture-210921047.html |

Yeah, I don't really agree with the methodology of the study. I'll call bullshit on it. So bullshit in, bullshit out.
A review of 1 million other publicly posted reviews of charging stations.
Somehow that just because some Harvard dude with a degree in climate studies and writes for a global business arm gives it legitimacy? And he gets paid big bucks for this supposed data driven study?

Certainly on the fly road trip charging is a super crucial issue that is getting figured out. But consider that many if not most EVs are second cars and used for local commuting, the road trip charging is kinda a non-issue. My friends top off their batteries a couple of times a week at home. That being said, everyone I know that has an EV uses them on road trips more than their gasser. Because they are nice to drive, fun, cheap and more eco. Most trips they take are not aimlessly wandering around podunck USA looking for places without a charger, they are to visit family, friends, and Airbandb destinations. Almost all along major highways, they use the tesla app. which is pretty stellar and eliminates wasted stops, broken chargers, etc. They are predictable trips with easy stops near restaurants etc. and represent probably the majority of charging needs.

Well since there are numerous charge connections (at least 4 connection types) and not a standard like say a diameter of a gas nozzle at a pump, it seems like trying to find your way through the forest of Mirkwood watching out for spiders trying to find the one that fits. There is a lot of podunk in the US, and some quite scenic. So not everyone lives in cities, airports, and interstates and major routes. For those who find a ev meets their needs, I'm happy for them. BUT they do not meet EVRYONES needs.
I did see on the map where a fire station was listed as a charger.
Zoom out and see diffrent color pin options for that scenic wander around podunk.

You say that like the WWW doesn't know where the car is, where the charging stations are and the connecters are going to be an ever changing surprise.  |

It's always interesting when people who dont own EVs spew negative tripe and those that have hands on experience say they dont have problems using one for the purpose they purchased it for.

OK, evs are wonderful, solve every use and should be mandated for every application.. I can't wait until they can fly and are used in marine uses.batteries are the solution for everything.
Ferris you also forgot the ones who don't own them and spew positive vaporware..
The only opinion that matters are the owners and users of them.
The long term test on this should be good to follow,

I could drive/Fly this too work, within range, plenty of space, charging no prob.
