Interesting point Turbguy, looks like a certain administration has a bundle of 

"Get Of Town" bundle...go Figure!

Congress provided $7.5B for electric vehicle chargers. Built so far: Zero.

 

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/congress-ev-chargers-billions-00129996#:~:text=Biden signed the bipartisan infrastructure,the United States by 2030.

I can understand the delay from the infrastructure law's passage.  Obtaining designs, materials, and construction is a big factor.

However, the article does note that ground has been broken for such lawful chargers in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, 

"Zero" will not stay at zero.   You know that.

So, $$$$ are moving out the door.

an  EV  today costs 1/2 of one from 3 years ago and are so much better...does that mean we should not evolve with the market????

 

chargers being built today will most likely be not being installed 2 years from now...........if better comes out better will be installed...and older ones will get replaced........or no one will use them...money down the tubes today for todays technology ????? story of advancing technology

 

kinda like when digital camera came out ..........everything evolves to better , faster, cheaper and easier to use

Does anyone use one of those old expensive $1000 digital cameras that were sold 30 years ago???  of course not ....you can use a cell phone  and the cost for a cheap one  that is better than the old digital cameras 1/10 the price

This led to the first commercially available DSLR camera, the Kodak DCS-100 and soon more companies were jumping on the digital camera trend, including Apple who launched Apple QuickTake 100 in 1994. This was the first color digital camera that cost less than $1,000, which made it possible for more Americans to start capturing precious memories in digital format. 

 

The world's first digital camera was developed in 1975 by Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson in Rochester, New York. It didn't resemble the DSLR camera systems we are used to, weighed almost 4 kilograms, and was roughly the size of a toaster.May 11, 2023

 

Oh, certainly things evolve. 

My response, the infrastructure to support such high current charging (not the charger endpoints), better be what is being installed NOW, or at least in the very near future.

"Plan twice, Trench once".

I'm very familiar with both film (I'm old) and digital still imaging.  nA older camera from the early 2000's was found to be extra sensitive to near infrared light (Minolta DiMage 7), and it was eBay, here I come.  Typically, these sold for over $1200 when released.  EBay?  Now about $35 or less, to the door.  But, that camera is a special case for those interested in Infrared photography.   Here's the near-infrared view from my patio, looking west, using this old model:

hanging out in Norway these days?????? A country that uses no coal and little Nat Gas itself and the Renewable energy is 100 percent of the base for its electricity production (almost all hydro) ....Electric trains...Electric cars ....electric buses and now a move to go 100 percent electric trucks....

 

only losers would pick Norwegians  as somewhere  not being to able to afford utility bills .....

The average wholesale electricity price in Norway was at around 56.14 euros per megawatt-hour in March 2024

 

pretty cheap

and today the price of electricity in Norway for consumers.......12 cents per KWH, cheaper than most parts of the US. Guess your rumor is just you trying to BS your slow dimwitted pals NAMELY, ecochump. He is so slow he even believes your BS (he is so gullible he even upvoted your BS)

Unfortunately, you failed to give any source for your own numbers, (no surprise).

Your charts appear to be out of date, so of course that makes them worthless for this discussion.

The truth is that fossil fuel cars make up most of the Norwegian auto stock.

Here is the date on my source, read carefully,

Published 04/25/2024, 05:04 PM
Updated 04/25/2024, 05:04 PM
"In January, a record 92.1% of all new cars sold were purely electric in Norway, UBS said in Wednesday note, a trend that has been gaining momentum since the rise in EV sales in 2010. But so far, the impact on oil demand in Norway "has been negligible," UBS adds, noting the plunge gasoline demand has been more than offset by other oil products.

Norway's rise to electric car superpower status has been fueled "generous financial incentives," partly funded by the country's huge oil and gas wealth, UBS said.

The lack of bite on oil demand from surging EV sales has been driven by slow adoption of EVs, or slow fleet turnaround, with electric cars making up just  21% of the total car fleet at the end of 2023, while gasoline cars accounted for around 23% and diesel cars for about 33%.

Range anxiety has also possible kept a lid on growth of EV adoption as the fear of running out of power before reaching a charging station has many in Norway opting for internal combustion engine, or ICE, vehicles or hybrids for the longest distances.  

"Another possibility is that electric vehicles are used for short distances, but Norwegians still rely on fossil fuels to cover longer distances," UBS said. "

No link to the source.  Probably cherry picking quotes.

Yet:

"a record 92.1% of all new cars sold were purely electric in Norway"

"from surging EV sales has been driven by slow adoption of EVs"

How does one write surging EV sales and slow adoption of EVs in the same sentence? At 92% of sales the conversion will be quick. People will learn to find the ever increasing number of charging stations and will drive their new cars.

Look above, I already gave the links to sources. All you have to do is click on them, not difficult to accomplish that.

Yes, a 92% share of new sales is impressive, but the market for used vehicles is dominated by fossil fuel cars.

The total vehicle stock in Norway is still predominantly fossil fuel. The 92% is only for passenger vehicles, not trucks or work vehicles.

do not worry Clunker Trucks are on the way out............Enjoy the transition...I love it when you are on the wrong side of history....Proves Luddites such as yourself are always wrong

Mar 27, 2024  Norway has set a target for all new trucks sold in the country to be electric by 2030. That will require adding many new charging stations ...

The Norwegians have done great research into climate science.

This paper aims to show the importance of CO2 in global warming.

https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=99608

The conclusions,

"...we only observe a very slight temperature increase due to CO2 backscatter. This indicates that heating, due to IR backscatter from CO2, is much less than what is assumed from the Stefan Boltzmann law or from the forcing Equation (1a) and Equation (1b). The near-identical heating curves for all the three gases indicate that the thermal energy transfer is only driven by the temperature of the back wall of the rear chamber. Without extra heating of the walls in the rear chamber, the air temperature cannot increase. These findings might question the fundament of the forcing laws used by the IPCC. "

then you post more babble

reality Norwegians enjoy low cost power....12 cents a KWH

and they have plenty of power (excess power, that they are a giant exporter of Electricity

Is Norway a net exporter of electricity?
 
 
Norway is also historically a net exporter of electricity to neighbouring countries, reaching a record 20.5 TWh of net exports in 2020, making it one of the largest exporters in Europe.

Are you daft comes to mind? Hydro power generation has more than a 100 yr history of somewhat reliable results. One could only speculate as to why the Green Dream brain trust would attempt to jump on its coat tails..perhaps desperation?

The second is a supply of renewable electricity. Norway’s secret is hydroelectric power from 1500 plants around the country. Many of these are low impact designs called run-of-river plants that don’t require dam building. Hydropower provides 96 per cent of all electricity in Norway.

You post "somewhat reliable results" for hydro and then reference the fact that those "somewhat" reliable results make up 96% of electricity generation!

have you been to Norway??

I have many times, trust me they have it made there, high standard of living, all the free powergen resource they'll ever need and they have built a 1t fund based off their FF resources. Theres a lot to like about living with the vikings!

To use an English expression we "pissed all that up the wall" in the 70's and 80's.

I am actually not against some FF as I'm a believer in a mix of energy supplies as we will need petrochemicals for centuries to come IMO so not against drilling new wells.

I am against all things coal as that is incredibly pollutive and bad for the environment and all living things that breathe. i'm also a believer that we should recycle plastics far more as plastics pollution has now got massively out of hand.

That paper was from 2020.  The paper has been cited in newer (2022) work.  This group still downplays the global warming risk, but they admit they found CO2 forcing in their lab experiment.  +1.05°C each time you double CO2 (without feedback).  Feedback could make things much worse.  Science marches on... and this time you can't claim they were ignorant of the previous paper since it was cited / challenged.

https://climatetverite.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Harde-Schnell-GHE-m-2021.pdf

"The derived forcing for CO2 is in quite good agreement with some theoretical studies in the litera-
ture, which to some degree is the result of calibrating the set-up to the spectral calculations, but in-
dependently it determines and also reproduces the whole progression as a function of the gas con-
centration. From this we deduce a basic equilibrium climate sensitivity (without feedbacks) of ECSB
= 1.05°C."
