To repopulate the cars on the planet with electric ones is about the dumbest idea ever, especially if you're wanting to reduce fossil fuel and coal generated electrical power use.

Either the car industry never thought it through, or knowing it was a bad idea just went ahead and did it anyway. Could also be that government pressure forced them into production when there were still far too many questions to be answered.

The chargers are not very efficient, and use a massive amount of power to recharge a car, plus taking far too long in the charging process.

Gotta wonder if anyone has frozen to death yet when the frigid cold killed their battery and they were stuck on the side of the road.

Jfreak...guess I'm not "everybody", cause I sure don't want one. Hell, I'd beg my ex-wife to teach me how to ride a broom before I'd spend $1 on an electric car...

Electric cars are more dangerous due to the weight.

The environmental damage mining the cobalt and lithium for the batteries is horrible. Most of it takes place in 3rd world countries where the working conditions are dangerous and harkens to slavery. But all the virtue signaling people putting around in their EV's are convinced they are saving the planet. BS!

It's affecting underage drivers as well!

Follow the subsidies.
They can afford to lose government money.

I'm reading lots of reports of big problems with EV's in the very cold weather the country is having. Dead batteries & dead charging stations.

The push for EV's has been the product of depletion of fossil fuels and pollution from it.
WHY CANT THEY SEE THE REAL PROBLEM and REDO THE FRIGGIN TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO A SMART SYSTEM !

They can make self driving cars and EV's and all the other high tech crap but they still have not realized that one of the main WASTED and pollution producing problems is at every traffic light in the world.
Every intersection should be "smart" enough to efficiently control traffic.
Currently they suck arse... crap like stop 50 cars to let one go.... THIS IS the biggest problem that needs addressing.
The amount of waste and pollution caused by inefficient traffic control systems and bad intersections worldwide is astronomical.
Conversion to a logical / smart system would solve the problems associated with fossil fuels.

Thats a really good point, I never even considered how inefficient and outdated our traffic systems are. All the lights in my area im pretty sure run on timers and pressure sensors. So like you said, its easy for one car to hold up 50. With everything being "smart" these days you would think they could update traffic lights a bit.

for well over 20 years i have been bitchin every time a light stopped me and the flow of 100 other cars to let 5 go.
Let me tell you....
There have been some that have begun development of "smart" light systems... but are getting little traction and support ... wHY ? ... some entities don't want a more efficient system due to loss of revenue is all i can think.
But we are beyond that now... this can get very deep.
The cost to all of us is greater than most realize... it is a problem of epic stupidity... the costs trickle down not only in fuel costs and crappy pollution... but even down to the wear and tear on not only our personal vehicles.... but every transport... bus... taxi... LEO vehicles ... again... all down the line... like i said... we can get really deeper in if we look at it.

When it gets down to the bottom of it...
IT IS... THE... biggest waste and MAJOR cause of environmental decline on the planet.
IMO.

In Europe/UK they have roundabouts or traffic circles everything just keeps flowing smoothly.
North America is way behind in designing simple efficient intersections major flow routes.

And where we live, the power company is telling us to expect rolling blackouts this winter because the current infrastructure cannot handle the load when temps drop to zero.

It can be other factors as well that drives the motorist crazy at the inefficiency of a simple thing like traffic flow.

Fact: I had the scrap contract with an electrical company that had the contract of the replacement of 60,000 traffic lights for the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

So over the years I gotta know a few of the main guys that ran/operated this division as I had to drop security bins at certain locations.

This one city offical that ran on a platform of public transit improvements to establish Toronto as a world-class city.
Then he was appointed to the Metro Planning and Transportation Committee.

So here is what he did:

Quote: "Scrapper this Miller character ordered our tech. guys to program the light systems so folks driving into the downtown core in the AM would hit all red lights.
In the PM they would hit all red lights going out of the downtown core."

Why do this stupid thing?

"He wanted to force the commuters out of their cars and onto the transit system."

So while we wait at a traffic light screaming at the windshield just remember that the lights are only being told what to do, and what agenda is being pushed.
