Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The cost of charging an EV....

The charger is in the car, for home use anyway.

You simply plug into current and the car recognizes the capability and proceeds.

You can be hooked to 15a 120v and the car charges, slowly.

Tap into a 30amp 220v dryer circuit and it charges much faster. Tap a 50 amp circuit…

Run a dedicated 100amp line and you are high rolling.

Might be make dependent, but that’s the info I get.

I wired up my brother's charging station for his Tesla. 240 volt, we bought a dryer receptacle and the wire and breaker at Lowes. Cost about $200, took me about 2 hours.
He gets 21 miles in one hour of charging, so in 10 hours he gets 210 miles, which is a full charge. He says it costs about half of what a comparible amount of gasoline would cost.

You can charge a Tesla on 120, no problem, but it is very slow. Only 5 miles of travel per hour of charging.

Maybe I'm just naïve, but I don't think the push for EV's is some de-population-put us all in 15 minute cities for mass control of the populace conspiracy.

I think the lefties are just truly dumb and that they think EV's are actually beneficial and never look at the cradle to grave costs and environmental effects of their production.

Edit to add, and forgot about all the 10% to the big guy kick backs involved.

Hell, I figured you just plugged them into a USB port.

And there is the issue of electric vehicles not paying any road use taxes. That is built in to the price of gas, but the EVs skate.

That is not being overlooked any longer. Most states are charging an annual EV registration fee and some states like Georgia are proposing a kilowatt-hour fee. Lawmakers’ proposed rates of 3.47 cents per kilowatt hour would be the highest so far, and Georgia EV owners already pay the second highest annual fee.

TANSTAFL MF'ers.

What??? I thought these were free to drive and caused zero pollution?

It would then be a false claim that starting in 1973 with the oil embargo, that any of the big three in Detroit would have cornered the market and made $billions with a car which got better than twice the mileage of the competitors?

How fast did this 200 mpg vehicle travel? 3 MPH? It takes energy to push air out of the way. There is only so much energy stored in a gallon of gas, if you could build a 100% efficient ICE.

You mean it isn’t?

Only phaags would believe this bs

The logical argument.

The big 3 sat on 200mpg and didn't use it to seize the market.
Billions spent on lightweight components, aerodynamics, more efficient engines, transmissions....
When all they had to do was put on a carb from a lawnmower.


Lincoln and Mercury,

Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile,

Sat back, allowed themselves to be swallowed, instead of putting that little
carb on their 4000# sleds and giving customers 200mpg.


It makes total sense.

Okay, I forced myself to watch the first 25 minutes of that BS. Well, the first five minutes was a discussion of which porn was preferred by a talking goldfish.

Zero Point machines to produce energy from nothing, IC engines which produce more energy than they consume, engines which produce Hydrogen form water then burn the Hydrogen for a surplus in energy. I could not stand the BS long enough to wait for him to get to the anti-gravity device.

The laws of thermodynamics are not really laws. Hell, they are not even valid suggestions.

Best of all, the US Government and our military owns all this tech. Yet they still depend on traditional IC engines to power jeeps, trucks, tanks, cargo aircraft, and fighter jets. All of which are still dependent upon crude oil, when supposedly the military owns the tech to move far beyond that.

Surely an independence from traditional fuels would be of significant benefit on the battlefield!

Next you will be telling us that covid vaccines contain coded data which can be recorded and transmitted from outer space, and they leave the recipient magnetic to stainless steel flatware.

It's simple physics. A 20A 110 outlet can put out a maximum of about 2400 watts. You simply can't stuff any more juice through it or it blows a breaker...or overheats and starts a fire. No charger can suck more watts through the outlet than the 2400 watts.
Now look at how many watts/hour it takes to charge an EV. Wiggle some numbers around and you get the number of hours it would take. You'd need 2 cars so you can drive one while the other's charging.

Dude, we get it. You are dumb. Point made

Theres videos, witnesses, writings and people who were present and vouched for alot of this. But you call it a lie lmao. You also loved the death shot enough to get it and defend it. Once again, dumb

Well it is! If you have a rich dumb neighbor ( California Transplant ) and a 100 to 200 ft extension cord, and a flash light for charging in the middle of the night....

Obviously as dumb as a bunch of four star generals in USAF, US Army, USMC, and admirals in the Navy for over fifty years. Along with Secretaries of each branch.

Hell we could do away with nuke reactors in the aircraft carriers and subs. Just suck the energy they need from the "aether". Imagine how stealthy the subs would be with no pumps or cooling systems.

You can bet your ass that you damn sure paid for it. It sure as hell wasn’t “free”.

Well put. If charging on 110, you would need 2 cars.
