Which is again you being ignorant and spreading misinformation. 

The only difference between the US and Canada is that crossing Canada is a thousand miles longer. The US record for crossing the country in an EV is: If you're wondering what the coast-to-coast EV time record is in the US, it currently stands at 42 hours and 17 minutes with 24 stops, and was set in 2021 by a team in a Tesla Model S Long Range.

So crossing Canada is maybe a day longer.

Yes it will take 15 or 20 years for semi EV infrastructure to be built out. So what? This is again just you dissing EVs for something that no one is claiming.

Sorry Jay, not "dissing" EV semis because the infrastructure is lagging horribly. Was just a passing conversation with her as she sat in Oakland waiting to get unloaded. She has more of a feel for how the industry is going out there as she's in it 3 times a week.

It should take much longer so you can stop and enjoy life. If you want to do nothing but drive and sleep it can be done in a week - even with a EV. 

The entire trans Canada highway has EV charging stations made by Petro Canada.  Now tell me again energy companies are not transitioning.

It will become very clear when the "gas stations" get renovated.

The real estate of some gas stations is going to be worth more than their profits soon.

Other stations are switching to more restaurant style, so you can stay and enjoy a beer and sandwich while your car fast charges.  You were hungry and needed a break from driving anyways...

Being realistic Jay.....that's all. I am stating what real world folks talk about. EV's are not that popular in this area. Now if you want to talk about hydrogen fuel auto's. Makes more sense to go that avenue but the powers that be are insisting on Electric. Probably because $$$$ invested into the raw materials that goes into making the batteries. 

 'but the powers that be are insisting on Electric. Probably because $$$$ invested into the raw materials that goes into making the batteries.' Yet more ignorant misinformation. BEV is a less expensive and much more practical solution that buyers prefer by a vast margin.

Hydrogen cars are a total joke! They are supported in California as much as EVs, the state has spent hundreds of millions on hydrogen infrastructure and they get the same federal subsidies.  Yet BEV outsell hydrogen by over 100 to 1!! And every new H car comes with $15K free hydrogen. Hydrogen stations have worse reliability than chargers, stations are very expensive to build, you can't fill up in your garage, the cars are cramped, slow and more expensive than an EV and they only get a few more miles range. The two hydrogen vehicles on the market:

 The new  2022 Toyota Mirai Limited will offer a range of up to 357 miles. Compare to Model 3 Long range which costs less.

The starting price for the new 2023 Toyota Mirai is $49,500 MSRP. 

The all-new 2023 Hyundai NEXO's range of 380 miles is the highest of any fuel cell vehicle. SUV, compare to Model Y Long Range which costs $10K less!! 

2023 Hyundai NEXO Pricing The 2023 Hyundai Nexo starts at $60,135. 

 

Compare to Tesla:

Hydrogen might have a chance in long distance semi trucks but not in local semi trucks.

CA EV numbers for 1H 2023

CA hydrogen sales for 1H 2023

= 1800

Here is H car pathetic history:

Yet you continue to dis them by saying infrastructure is "lagging horribly". Electric Semi's are barely a reality, there is no lagging of infrastructure. We are still very busy building out EV car infrastructure, Semi's are next.

Who gives a crap about your oil industry experience?

You really are a comical jokester, here is the truth about oil, it is hot and getting hotter.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/OPEC-Cuts-Offset-By-Booming-US-Oil-Production.html

"U.S. oil production is predicted to hit 13 million bpd in September, matching the record output from November 2019.

Major companies including Chevron and Exxon reported record production in Q2 despite fewer active drilling rigs.

The EIA anticipates record U.S. crude oil production for 2023 and 2024, with the U.S. leading non-OPEC+ production growth."

The current EV narrative has nearly 91,000 cars piling up at dealerships as consumer enthusiasm for the new technology dwindles. At some dealerships, that’s true.

 

Cox Automotive data shows EV supply of more than 100 days on dealership lots, more than double the number of gasoline vehicles.

Just brilliant. The article you cited debunks "The current EV narrative".

If you had read that article just a bit further you would have found this:

Despite all these scary figures of cars spending months waiting to find a buyer, Automotive News reports that EVs actually made up just 6.7 percent of dealer inventory across the U.S., while accounting for 8.6 percent of retail sales.

What’s more, it’s been the case for the past 18 months that retail sales have outpaced the growing inventory of EVs across the supply chain.

Your numbers are junk, Jay. With EV  inventories rising, that indicates EV production growing faster than EV sales, that is the key indicator.

With growing inventories, production declines. Basic economics.

If only you could read. This is from the most recent Cox report, the same company you cite for your growing EV inventory:

"Throughout August, the total U.S. supply of available unsold new vehicles climbed above 2 million units, a level not seen since April 2021. Inventory stood at 2.06 million units at the start of September, up from a revised 1.96 million at the beginning of August, according to Cox Automotive’s analysis of vAuto Available Inventory data. That was 68% higher than a year ago, or about 837,000 units. Inventory numbers include vehicles available on dealer lots and some in transit.

The supply of unsold EVs at the start of September was modestly lower than at the beginning of August. EV sales in the past 30 days increased slightly (7%), and available inventory decreased, leading to a decline in days’ supply. "

https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/new-vehicle-inventory-august-2023/

What they derisively call slight growth (7% per month) is an annual growth rate of 125%. 

Oh and let's look again at those official gov't numbers, only a moron would call these "junk" without some serious evidence to back up the claim. Evidence you do not have.

A total of 126,294 plug-in vehicles (99,089 BEVs and 27,205 PHEVs) were sold during August 2023 in the United States, up 71.5% from the sales in August 2022. PEVs captured 9.51% of total LDV sales this month.

All you can do is enjoy the EV growth!

Jay read your own quote, there has been little change in the huge inventory buildup in EVs,

"Throughout August, the total U.S. supply of available unsold new vehicles climbed above 2 million units, a level not seen since April 2021. Inventory stood at 2.06 million units at the start of September, up from a revised 1.96 million at the beginning of August, according to Cox Automotive’s analysis of vAuto Available Inventory data.

"The supply of unsold EVs at the start of September was MODESTLY lower than at the beginning of August. "

So there is still a huge inventory buildup in EVs.
