Imagine Florida with a hurricane coming toward Miami. The
Governor orders an evacuation. All cars head north. They
all need to be charged in Jacksonville. How does that work?
Has anyone thought about this? If all cars were electric,
and were caught up in a three-hour traffic jam with dead
batteries, then what? Not to mention that there is
virtually no heating or air conditioning in an electric
vehicle because of high battery consumption.
If you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no
heating, no windshield wipers, no radio, no GPS (all these
drain the batteries), all you can do is try calling 911 to
take women and children to safety. But they cannot come to
help you because all roads are blocked, and they will
probably require all police cars will be electric also.
When the roads become unblocked no one can move! Their
batteries are dead.
How do you charge the thousands of cars in the traffic
jam? Same problem during summer vacation departures with
miles of traffic jams. There would be virtually no air
conditioning in an electric vehicle. It would drain the
batteries quickly. Where is this electricity going to come
from? Today's grid barely handles users' needs. Can't use
nuclear, natural gas is quickly running out. Oil fired is
out of the question, then where?
What will be done with billions of dead batteries, can’t
bury them in the soil, can’t go to landfills.
The cart is way ahead of the horse.
No thought whatsoever to handle any of the problems that
batteries can cause.
The liberal press doesn't want to talk or report on any
of this.
In France, thousands of taxis are now stored as
inoperable because the batteries are dead and to replace
them would cost more than
the value of the vehicle itself!
