[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 16625140, member: 40530"] Its crazy. There literally will not be a feasible means of producing the energy necessary to support migration to EV's by 2030 without BIG investments in power grid infrastructure and generation facilities, none of which are currently happening. Nuke plants being decommissioned across the country. CA cant keep the lights on as it is, but sure, lets put millions of EV on the road sucking off the grid at all times of the day, let alone peak loads. The end result is going to be a bunch of paperweights in your driveway. The only people id say are good to go EV are ones that have their own means of generation/storage (IE Solar+Powerwall). These are the people when the grid is down, still run their AC, pools, and charge their EV's for days (depending on number of powerwalls and solar setup) not giving a ****. This is why I say EV's being forced on consumer is a big ass bait n switch to turn everyone that cant afford homes and solar/powerwalls into literal pheasants that must rely on other means of transportation when their cars are out of juice. I see Covid "work from home" being a dry-run for a push for less people to go to work, which is fine if that happened naturally over time, but its not. Its amazing when the guy thats responsible for the current top dog in EV's by a wide margin (Elon Musk) even says the push for EV's by govt by banning ICE is not a good move and very premature. Agreed. New GT500 powerplant is nice, but thats about it. '18+ mustang aesthetics went the wrong direction. I think Ford though knows the future of cars is them literally reduced to appliances, which is the direction theyre going. [/QUOTE]
