[@mfenix911]

It cracks me up that people tell you to get an EV to save money when they cost twice as much as similar gas cars, cost almost as much to charge as filling a tank with gas, the battery might last a decade before you have to spend at least $10k to replace it or buy another EV, and the real kicker is they are just as bad for the environment if you factor in the mining of the materials, the power grid still running on fossil fuels to charge them. It's all a scam.

[@BuilderofRat]

Not to mention, lower used vehicle value, and what happens to unwanted used EVs? They go to a wrecking yard sit there just decaying and releasing very toxic stuff into the soil. These batteries CAN be recycled, but it takes a very sophisticated recovery process with very expensive equipment run by well educated personnel. PLUS, there are not very many of these types of places in the USA!!!! Would you, as an owner/operator volunteer to use your $140,000 livelihood to haul a damaged EV to said recycling facility? They could, and do have thermal runaways which would burn up your livelihood. You are right, it is a scam!!!!!! And now that those that wanted an EV have one, the rest of us want nothing to do with them. This is causing the major auto manufactures to go bankrupt. Could that be the main reason for these EVs? I do not know, but what I do know is that I DO NOT TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!! They lie to us all of the time. They turn themselves into multi millionaires while in office. Just think about that!!!!!

[@robertschmidt9296]

I remember in the 70s, people were buying Japanese compact cars to save money on gas. They did use less gas so they would be saving money on gas, but the car they already own is paid for so buying a new car means shelling out more money. How many years will it take before they start to save money to reap the benefits of saving money on gas? It's like spending a thousand dollars to save one dollar.

[@mfenix911]

@@robertschmidt9296 My friend has a Tesla and he was like it only costs a few bucks to charge it, but it costs $4k to install a charger in your house and the car itself was $130k, and they're insanely expensive to repair even for minor damage, and will literally explode if water gets into the batteries, which happens a lot-and they are hard af to put out lol.

[@jv-lk7bc]

EVs no longer cost twice as much as gas cars - and they perform better [faster/more torque] and are way cheaper to maintain.[simpler/less maintenance] It doesn't cost as much to charge as filling a tank. How many people do you know who keep gas cars more than a decade? comes out about the same. EVs are not "just as bad for the environment" and you certainly don't have to use a power grid still running on fossil fuels. True, BuilderofRat, better battery reclaiming practices are needed, but a HUGE number of these are being produced [not just for cars], so they'll have to solve the problem. So they will. @robert its more like spending a dollar to save a thousand, long term.

[@mfenix911]

@@jv-lk7bc Yeah, there are cheaper EV's and you could get a solar panel system to charge it if you have an extra $40k to spend on that. They go through tires faster because they are so heavy. Gas cars last forever if people take care of them, most people just choose to get a new car every 5-10 years. I'm not saying EV's are bad forever, they'll probably be a good option or the only option when we inevitably run out of oil in 100 years or so, but they aren't practical for most people right now-especially if you ever need to drive across the country.

[@northerncaptain855]

Scotty, really nice presentation - I worked in the Energy Industry for over 40 years, from in and around Oil Refineries to Captain of Drill Ships, drilling in water over a mile deep. It’s a fascinating industry. Now retired, I now find myself on a planning board tasked with approving massive industrial scale Solar Projects. Every form of energy development has its positive and negative impacts but without it there is no economy. Electric Car adoption to scale will require massive amounts of additional electricity. I’ve seen “green energy projects” that involve clear cutting and bulldozing hundreds of acres of forest. There is no free lunch.

[@Greg-io1ip]

In all modes of transportation, we cannot escape physics. Heavier than necessary cars with too much power - EV or gas - is where we are all guilty of ignoring our personal responsibilities. Sure we've improved since a 5500 pound Cadillac Coupe with Fins of 1960 getting 11 mpg. But hitting a pothole at 100 mph in any vehicle is no casual encounter. Very few places are safe enough to endeavor speeds over 100 mph, but to push 4500 pounds+ - Tesla Curb Weight - requires lots of energy. Even more energy in traffic, stopping and starting. Smaller cars, under 2,000 pounds curb weight. Smaller well built engines and motors and transmission systems. We cannot drill our way out of trouble. We must all grow up.

[@SteveSmith-lk1tb]

They need to find a way to keep gas for my truck, I don't want an electric vehicle.

[@humming-birdaerialimaging682]

True, there is no free lunch, but resources, now used for drilling, refining, storing, distributing and delivering, gas, could be gradually redirected towards renewable development, and electric infrastructure. I respect your expertise in the industry, so surely you are aware that even if we didn't build any more renewable sources, every barrel of fossil energy, goes much further when powering an efficient turbine (to produce electricity) when compared to burning in an ICE. The infrastructure will get built.

[@PARABOLA1966]

Lol, there was at one time the same sentiment, when people hated the idea of having the horse replaced by the internal combustion engine, aka, the automobile.

I’m 71 when I was in high school I worked at the Standard station they used to make the money in the back room and fixing cars and we also had a contract for starting cars in winter over at Allstate insurance headquarters. I go over there with a F250 Ford with the jumper unit in the back of the truck and somebody’s car and start, I jump and get it going for free. It was a contract and we sold candy bar cigarettes, milk, bread, eggs, but it was very competitive with the gas. We had Gas wars. It Scotty probably remembers this standard would have a guy comes to the gas station and unmarked car to see how the service was and he would grade you without you knowing it and then the state once in a while would send cars in the gas stations unmarked to see if they were getting the right quantity of gas out of the pumps and that the meters weren’t messed up.

My dad drove a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia at the time, he could fill it up for just a dollar and drive it for 2 weeks. What did the gas stations in your area drop their gas prices too and what city/state?

I worked as a gas jockey in high school where we had both self and full service, and a garage for repairs (mechanic's name was Red).

This is more than enough time to charge up. Parking spots just end up with chargers. In the gas model, you pump up and then go park. So you don't need any extra space.

in the 70s we outsourced our major oil production to opec due to environmentalists, and their greed inflating oil prices were what caused the "shortage"

[@toriless]

Currently we export 74% of what we produce, we are are own OPEC now, US, Russia and Saudi Arabia are a vast percentage of the global supply.

Scotty with another factual banger. Putting most news outlets to shame in terms of quality, breadth and depth, and reliability of information!

[@skymningforelsket1302]

Wow. Americans are very concerned about rising gas prices. Americans are less concerned about the cost of tattoos, piercings, cell phone plans, and fattening foods. Which, by the looks of the average American, they can afford all these things in abundance.

[@Jv9569]

They also whine about entry level pay, claiming that no one's hiring; and of course, the skill gap excuse. The average American could use a country swap kind of deal where they have to live in a third world country for a while.

[@markhoughton4327]

Amen to that Bro !!!!!

You are right. But not everyone are in to those things like owning a car or truck driving hundreds of miles every week.

I worked at a grocery store back when cartons of cigarettes were under $12. Each month people would bring in their food stamps and wic checks to get what ever groceries they could. Then they would get as many as 6 cartons of cigarettes. This wasn't a rare thing. Nor was it just 1 or 2 families doing this. It was many. Point is, if they have the $ to buy $60 in cigarettes. Why are taxpayers paying for their milk, cereal, formula, diapers, bread....? Why couldn't those people buy their own groceries? Years later I worked for Walmart and cigarettes were $18 per carton. Same thing was happening though. It's sickening.

I'm in northern Wisconsin and we saw a slight drop in gas prices this week. It was around $2.86 and most places close to me are down to $2.75 now. The lowest is $2.59 about 20 miles south of here. That waw interesting to learn about all the billions of barrels of reserve around the world. I turn 60 next year so I don't think we're going to run out in my lifetime. I'm a shade tree mechanic myself and enjoy working on gasoline engines. If/when they go away and everything is electric, that will take all the fun out of it. Of course there will still be brakes and tires to replace.

Hi Scotty, I live in Los Angeles, CA. The gas price range is ridiculous depending on what part of the city you go to! The cheapest I've seen regular gas at an Arco gas is $3.99 9/10 cash only. And there is an additional $0.10 charge per gallon if you use a debit or credit card. (That is NOT including Arco's $0.35 cent charge for using a debit or credit card.) But I've also seen regular prices at Chevron over $6 dollars the same day.

I paid $2.75 for regular a couple of days ago. I believe they will eventually come up with fast charging stations or maybe an alternative fuel. My dad worked at an old gas station in the 30s. He said that they pumped the gas up into the overhead container of the pump and drained it into the car. He had a car that had the gas tank opening under the back seat, so that everybody had to hop out of the car and the seat top had to be pulled anytime he needed to fill up, lol.

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

$3.80 per gallon in my area for gasoline. Diesel is $3.89 per gallon, which is amazing considering Diesel is a byproduct of making gasoline, basically the waste.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

thats because they dont want diesels here

[@adamn7516]

Diesel prices started being higher than unleaded about 20 odd years ago. Exactly why that happened nobody knows but some speculate oil companies saw an increase in diesel vehicles by the general public rather than just commercial use vehicles and decided to cash in on it by artificially raising prices.

[@mrjohndoe6981]

In some parts diesel has a higher tax since it is worse for the environmen, but it used to be cheaper

[@bhabbott]

@@adamn7516 It's not artificial, simply supply and demand. Diesel might cost more but it has more energy so it ends up cheaper. So trucks use it, and this keeps the demand (and price) up.

[@johnlacroix1639]

WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work

In the summer of 1999... It was $0.79/gal. As an Airman Basic, that was awesome and I could actually afford to just drive around. Top down Wrangler stationed at Panama City, FL? Hoo-WEE that was a good time.

in Canada, gasoline is taxed 50% (FIFTY PERCENT, no typos)

[@hiroprotagonist525]

Prices these days are between $1.55 to $1.60 A LITER as I live in Canada. Now remember there are 3.7L to 1US G and that equals to roughly $5.85 a gallon, but wait, you still have to convert the Canadian dollar to the US dollar and that comes out to $4.13 USD a gallon. Today the national US average is $3.02/G now there are higher and cheaper places than this, this is just an average, but it still gives you an idea of what that difference is between our two countries!
