Ecocharger + 1,474 DL June 30, 2022 6 hours ago, Jay McKinsey said: More lying crap. The costs are up because the cost of coal and natural gas are through the roof. If it weren't for renewables the average cost would have tripled. It can be easily shown with these graphs. Renewables have barely changed in the past year but the price of coal and natural gas have skyrocketed over that time period. Note the correlation between all three costs. Electricity started going up the exact same month gas and coal started going up. If you were a real economist you would look at the real data before posting such lies. You have it backwards, Jay, as usual. Coal and gas go up because Green failed, and coal had to ride to the rescue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 1,474 DL June 30, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Jay McKinsey said: The total number of light duty registered vehicles in America is 253 million. And the cumulative sales of EVs has just reached 2.7 million. EVs have crossed that 1% of the fleet threshold . Those are not the numbers, you left out 2021 and 2022 for the ICE....Jay, we live in 2022. And you left out heavy duty and motorcycles. Well below 1% of the vehicle stock.

And you left out heavy duty and motorcycles. Well below 1% of the vehicle stock. We are in the middle of 2022 and 2021 fleet numbers are not out yet. The EV sales are current to last month. However you can easily see that the fleet numbers barely move from year to year. The only dramatic change over the past year has been the continued exponential growth of EV sales as shown in the chart. Heavy duty and motorcycles are different markets. EVs are over 1% of the US light duty vehicle fleet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Less than a fraction of 1%. Oh they are the right years and the right calculations. You just aren't smart enough to figure out basic economics. From 2016 to 2020 registered light vehicles increased by only 6 million. You could add up to 17 million to the 2020 number and the current cumulative EV sales would still equal 1%. Total registered vehicles including heavy duty and motorcycles actually decreased from 2019 to 2020 and are at 275.9 million. EVs will reach one percent of that number next month. https://www.bts.gov/content/number-us-aircraft-vehicles-vessels-and-other-conveyances Just keep making a fool of yourself.

You just can't figure out the difference between supply and demand can you? The problem is a lack of supply because of the war in Ukraine and the embargo on Russian oil. We all know this except you.

Things of this nature are extreme the pendulum has swung sharply...perhaps to sharply in a sense. https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/30/us-supreme-court-says-epa-cant-regulate-carbon-pollution-under-clean-air-act/ In a move that by now surprises absolutely no one, the U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not have the authority to regulate carbon pollution from existing power plants. The 6-3 decision, with the three liberal justices dissenting, makes it increasingly likely that an act of Congress will be required to create regulations to rein in planet-warming emissions.
