Want to charge an EV? How much will it cost?

My favorite thing is those chargers you see in the walmart parking lot with the giant diesel generators next to them.

The batteries have fundamental other problems owners do not want to acknowledge such as where do the materials come from and where the materials are going to go when expended.

Not to mention how absolutely dangerous Li-Ion batteries are:

Gesus Jimmy! 74+46=120 gal. @ say 15 mi/gal that is 15*120=1,800 miles. Where the FUCK are these no gas stations for over 1500 miles in this nation????

I suppose in theory the 3500 could get 15 mpg, if driving slowly and not towing anything.

But since its sole purpose in life is to tow, a minimum of about 8,000 and up to 25,000 lbs., it generally gets between 5 and 10 mpg. Sometimes into the 11s.

So not quite 1,500 miles - which would be great, since I hate having to stop. After all, there's a reason I added the 46 gallon auxiliary tank. Got spoiled by the Pete and its dual 135 gallon tanks, and the "new" one has dual 150s which will be nicer yet. About 1,600 miles is about all I can do in one sitting.

It's 15/18..(not sure which)...it is what it is...regardless of your belief system..

My belief system has nothing to do with facts. If he lives in Idaho and is also in one of the specific counties with the cheapest electricity in the country it’s possible. Anywhere else and it’s not possible.

It’s not difficult math to divide the kWh battery size by the kWh price charged for electricity wherever you live.

I’m one of the few fans on this board of certain electric vehicles but I just see so much misinformation about them both good and bad.
