Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to California Tailpipe Emissions Limits
The justices agreed to decide whether industry groups have suffered the sort of injury that gave them standing to sue over an unusual waiver.
I like how much mindspace I take up in your head. I’ve never even bothered to look at your username beyond a cursory glance that I never bother to remember.
They aren’t “evil” they just aren’t good enough for a large chunk of the US population. Why do you think they still have such a tiny market share after being around for over a decade? Even new car sales. They’re not ready, yet. If major repairs are way more expensive, the electricity is often not much cheaper than gasoline for many, and tires wear out much quicker; all while being more expensive to buy, it’s a poor option. Hybrids are the way to go for the next many years in the US. It’s a far better choice for most people.
I just have a mediocre memory? Not much getting taken up honestly. I feel for you??
And you’d rather have two drivetrains under one hood??? So much for a focus on reliable simplicity.
Batteries are light and easily replaceable. Also leaves the gas motor not work very hard so they last for ages without issue. Weight is only 100 pounds or so over a traditional gas vehicle so tires last much longer than an ev. I have a 16 year old prius with over 260,000 miles on it. Still runs like brand new.
Hybrids have more parts that could go wrong, but no parts cost 1/3 of what an EV battery costs, and I never have to worry about finding an outlet and blowing 30 minutes to an hour while it charges.
Lmao the Prius power transfer case certainly does cost a bit, about 2/3 the cost of a battery new. Anyway, no facts visible from your side of the discussion, so once again I guess you’ve shown your lack of knowledge.
I’ll be buying an EV, if I have to buy a car at all, and I’ll enjoy the hell out of it. “Blowing” 30minutes is fine, I don’t drive more than 200mi at a time without a break.
Lol. Unlike an EV battery that’s guaranteed to fail, those transfer cases almost never fail, and when they do, it’s because it went 300,000 miles without the fluid ever being changed. You’re a joke. Plus, now I know you’re a joke that doesn’t know anything about vehicles. You don’t even own one.
I’ve restored two older vehicles, car & motorcycle. Every system touched, ECU to o2 sensor, friction plates to differential seals. Completely rebuilt from scratch, end to end, on the wiring harness.
100+ years of development and refinement, still gets much less than 5% of energy into moving you after drivetrain losses.
Debunk it.
Good thing gasoline is waaaay more energy dense than current gen batteries. Now ima go put a mere 36 pounds worth of gasoline in my car, so I can drive around for a range that takes a 1,000 pound battery to do in an EV. Bye!
Less energy dense, and outperforms the hell out of gasoline simultaneously. What an embarrassing thing to be proud of 😂 have fun.
