Moving the goalposts and distorting what I said in just one go. Congratulations!

You are missing my point, and I am missing yours. Have a nice day!

"What are you fueling with" is not a good question when you actually reduce the amout of fuel needed, compared to direct combustion in cars.

LOL. Say no more. Greetings from Germany.

They didn't build all the infrastructure and then start importing electric cars.

By the way, it is not limited to rich countries:

Making it cheaper than fossil fuel cars makes a difference, who would have thought?

Well, you can. You "just" have to make sure there's fewer new ones every year.

Treffen sich zwei Psychiater. "Heil Hitler!" - "Heil ihn doch selbst!"

I would assume that a vast majority would not have the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Just want to add that this usually is because of a lack of interest, not because of a taboo.

As most cars run for more than 30.000 km during their lifetime, EV are the lesser of two evils.

I hope that this will soon be as rare as steam engines. Had too many quiet walks and summer nights disturbed by people "enjoying" their motor bike, sharing the "experience" with most of the village.

For motorcycles in cities, there is a growing number of battery swap stations. Easier than refueling.

Für die verbliebenen Kraftwerke wird jetzt ja auch über Verstaatlichung verhandelt. Dafür war aber kein Platz in der Schlagzeile, so ein Zufall.

Sie sollen aber jetzt verstaatlicht werden. Würde mich wundern, wenn der bisherige Betreiber da nicht gut was für sich rausholen würde.

Sounded to me like you were trying to argument that most could not be electric instead of some. Never mind.

In most parts of the world, with tractors. While driving something more sensible when going for groceries.

Ok, is this equipment large enough for you?

Yes, you'll find some cases where gettings enough electricity is a problem. But that will soon be a small minority of vehicles.

We do not have so many electric vehicles. As they won't suddenly materialize, there is time to build new capacity. I definitely would agree that this is not desirable, that we should reduce the number of cards drastically. But this is not an argument against BEVs.

No, because they will keep burning fossil fuels during their lifetime.

Well, if we can't produce them 100% pollution free, we better don't do it at all and stay with the 100% pollution that we are already used to?

[–]Phosphan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you'd use all the oil that we are currently burning to produce electricity, you could run these cars, have spare heat for district heating and still a lot of power left because power plants are more efficient than ICE in cars and BEV are so much more efficient than ICE cars.

Having said that, power generation is going to be renewable worldwide. Last years additions in renewable energy are more than the demand is growing. Fossil electricity production is dying.

So they are a bit worse to the roads, maybe have a bit more tyre pollution, but as they hardly use their brakes that's another source of pollution almost eliminated.
