It’s not stupid it’s sad. Most people charge at home but when your home has no power and when about a million other people also don’t have power but we were able to charge up without much difficulty. The same thing happens with gas cars but they’re making a big deal about the electric cars here because a gas station might have gas but if they don’t have electricity, they’re not gonna be able to pump it and charge you for it so you have to find a gas station that does have power but if everyone in your area has the power knocked out, you’re gonna have to go to a new area and you might not know where to get gas there
Still way more effecient than a gas vehicle. Especially a diesel generator. Thats literally how the electric ferrys ⛴️ in WA and the electric trains run. They are all electric powered, and the batterys are charged up by a diesel generator onboard instead of a offboard charging station ppwered by a coal powerplant. This way they don't need to spend DECADES of building and BILLIONS of dollars on charging infrastructure in the middle of the wilderness to charge a electric train that needs an offboard charger. Diesel generators are extremely emissions friendly actually. They run at a very specfic rpm that maximizes power efficiency thus reducing emissions and fuel consumption massively. Its a 75% reduction in emissions conpared to directly driven diesel engine. Up in British Columbia a guy founded "Edison Motors" and built a fully electric semi truck and it works great. He was originally a logger semi driver. Ordered a tesla semi years ago and got tired of waiting so built his own truck and is now selling conversion kits for old pickup trucks (since reusing/recycling old vehicles is more emission friendly and cheaper). His electric semi truck has a onboard charger in the form a diesel generator, just like the ferrys ⛴️ and electric trains 🚄 do. He did this because Canada will never be able to build proper charging infrastructure in the rural logging mountains. And if they did it would cost billions and take decades to build, and probably still be powered by coil power plants. Using diesel generators to charge electric vehicles creates an IMMEDIATE 75% reduction in emissions with ZERO need to spemd money to build charging infrastructure. I wouldn't be so quick to jude diesel-electric vehicles, since as of right now it is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to create a 75% reduction in emissions. And doesn't have any cold weather or range or infrastructure problems like a normal ev. Diesel electric is how we will reduce emissions in rural areas without infrastructure, and eliminate range issues, cold issues etc.
And this isn't the first time. California has this happen alot and just image when the idiots that run this state force everyone to buy an EV and this happens how long will the lines be when there are more of these stupid vehicles on the road!
Diesel electric is the best idea. (Which is NOT a hybrid by the way, the wheels are 100% powered by the electric motor ALWAYS, the diesel engine generator simply just provides electricity to CHARGE the battery 🔋, instead of for example - using an off board charging station in parking lot which gets it's electricity from a coal powerplant. Diesel electric has the charging station mounted on the vehicle, in the form of a Diesel generator which kicks on when the battery gets low and the diesel engine runs at a very very specific low rpm which maximizes power efficiency thus reducing waste thus reducing fuel consumption thus reducing emissions massively, by up to 75% or more compared to a regular diesel engine powered vehicle). The WA state ferrys ⛴️ are diesel electric, all the electric trains 🚄 are diesel electric. Which means they do not have range issues, no cold weather issues and do NOT require a massive charging grid infrastructure overhaul to be built. They can use the same exact infrastructure an old diesel train does. Electric trains go non stop and travel through wilderness, they'd never be able to build charging infrastructure, so they just build charging infrastructure on the train in the form of a diesel generator. Green energy ♻️⚡ is a GREAT IDEA, it just matters HOW you implement it. Sure big cities might be able to handle a massive electric grid charging infrastructure overhaul, but everywhere else diesel electric is the way to go, it's a 75% reduction in emissions, we already have the technology, we already have the infrastructure built (gas stations, to refill the diesel generator) and they have no range issues or cold issues as the diesel generator can also kick on in extreme cold events. Electric motors also get ridiculously better torque numbers and braking power, making it ideal for semi's - another large vehicle that needs to run 24/7 and go through unpopulated wilderness without charging infrastructure, just like trains or ferrys. Go look up "Edison Motors" in British Columbia, they have already built a working electric semi truck for logging, and another, and are building more, and also selling a smaller version of the motor to convert old pickup trucks to diesel electric since its better for emmisions and cost to recycle old vehicles than build entire new ones. Also better torque, horsepower and braking power on top of the 70% reduction in emissions. The reason Edison Motors did this is because he ordered a Tesla Semi years ago and got tired of waiting. So he built his own electric semi, and had to go the diesel electric route because obviously the logging towns of rural Canada 🇨🇦 do not have the charging infrastructure and it would take billions of dollars and a decade to build it. So by going diesel electric they now got a truck that immediately has 75% less emissions compared to a standard semi truck, they also have better torque and braking capability, no range issues, no cold weather issues and no infrastructure issues since canada already has gas stations everywhere anyway. Diesel electric is the future outside of big cities, perhaps even in big cities too along with electric cars without onboard charging (diesel generators). With the current climate, we do NOT have 10+ years to wait for infrastructure to be built nor the billions of dollars to fund it. Diesel electric can be implemented IMMEDIATELY and provide a 75% reduction in emissions. Green energy ♻️⚡is GREAT. You just have to think outside your little tiny box.
We in The Great NW have what is called a windy season almost every year in the late fall/early winter. This causes trees to fall on power lines. Almost every year at least 2 city's power is knocked out. These morons want all of our eggs in 1 basket leaving us vulnerable. We can't have all houses electric, and all vehicles electric. We need all forms of energy sources. People who moved here within the last 5 years are going to get their ass kicked when a real GNW fall/winter hits. Like in around 2007. People in most of western WA were without power for upto 2 months in some areas. If it wasn't for natural gas they would of died from freezing to death. A lot of people started starving to death as they couldn't go grab food from the frozen Tundra outside. They ran out as many were not prepared. Quit with this EV religion and rationalize that it isn't this fix all utopia you dream about. 1 size fits all doesn't work in all biomes on Earth. I am for electric when it is rational. I am more for what ever works. Which means we need all forms of energy to survive Earth. Not 1 for now.
There are a lot of places that have lines because not everybody is knowledgeable and where other than home you can charge or they only know the same charging station that everyone else does and we were able to charge I without that much problems. Also, you need an adapter because there are some places that have different types of charging station.
Pretty sure none of these drivers are homeowners. The ones that own a home are charging at home while laughing at everyone else, including gas car owners, that have to go outside.
@Jorejaha-c7h most gas stations don't pump if there is no power either. Genius. Plus, how often is the power going out in Washington State due to cold weather anyway?
@DRTerabyte better to line up for cans of gas rather than spend your youth in line & then charging your car. Did you see the lines in WA after the power outage? ..2 hours out of your day...how sweet?
Pretty sure they using GAS power generators to power those electric charging stations 😂😂😂😂 not fuel efficient now is electric drivers 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you Mother Nature should gas cars are better during outage and storm situation 😂
@@TheRealLockRobster yeah, most modern HV batteries come with a heat pump to keep it working in cold temperatures while the car is on, and while idle HV batteries are rated for temperatures far below what we realistically see on earth.

Now imagine if everyone had EVs and had to evacuate for a storm….
The same principle applies to gas cars? The same way you're supposed to fill up before a storm arrives you should charge before a storm arrives.

Took me less than 15 minutes to fill up and the line was moving along just fine. I waited in line maybe 10 minutes tops Try again.
Wow, what a joke! These things are garbage
45 mins to charge to full that make wait time 2 hours 😂😂😂 it only takes 2 - 4 mins fill up gas at the gas station to full 😂😂😂😂
Bothell charging stations had crazy lines, too. Buying fully electric has too many downsides. That’s why I’m holding out to buy a hybrid.
