    Also, if the cars become completely electric, isn’t that going to cause us to burn more coal to get more electricity for these cars?

    I live in WV, and they don’t believe in renewable energy here. It’s all coal down here!

    We'd need to invest in other green energies

      I was at a Sheetz in Beckley Wv and they had 8 charging stations for electric vehicles. And not 1 of them had a vehicle actually charging

      They said Tesla on them. Not sure if you can only charge Tesla cars  there

      Just wasting parking spaces ?

      I think there are adapters for all electric vehicles. Problem being who knows how long it takes to charge up your car? 5 minutes to pump gas. Who wants to sit around for an hour when you run out of charge even if there is a station?

      PS one thing I used to love about visiting my old Old Homestead in Carrollton in winter was occasionally being able to smell coal smoke.

        Only 1 mine near me, and it’s closed. All the coal that goes to the power plant in my town either comes on barges in the Ohio river, or by train. Either way it arrives via a huge diesel engine 

        We ride side by sides down here now. You rarely see any dirt bikes. Occasionally a quad runner

            My wife’s son had a Prius, given to him by his hippie father. The batteries had to be replaced 2 times. The second time he said screw it and bought a non-hybrid. I think it was around $5000 with labor

              Didn't know that - we rode back in the late seventies. One time, my cousin and I went and rode an AMA enduro on Big Walker Mountain.

              It wsa crazy. Miles out, I was trying to catch with my cousin (fat chance - he also ran motorcross with his penton), I was really going on a mountain ridge. Then my revs went way high, and I went off a mountain knoll and hit a tree in the woods, about 10 feet high. Sprained by back really bad, laid there with my suzuki on top of me, til a cleanup crew found me. Turns out, the red danger ribbon had been broken by someone who wrecked and it snapped away. I never saw it. rhododendrons were in bloom. So, he drove my van back to WV, and I had to drive back to ohio. I was in the Air Force, and had to get back by Monday morning or I would be in trouble.

                 I made it. My commander walked back to my desk and asked me what happened, I said I slipped on the stairs. on my way into work.

              Yep, I lied out of desperation. Commander grinned, looked at me sideways, "pretty bad back injury for just slipping on the stairs". I"m pretty sure he knew I lied. lol

              At least there were no slag piles in Va.

                I rode dirt bikes way back in the late 70’s to early 80’s. Too dangerous now. I’m told old to be wrecking like that

                I’ll stick with my buggy, as they are called down here, it seats 4 people and will pretty much  go through anything

                  NICE ride. I love our ATV's. I want a ride like that. Or, at my age, even a gator, but it doesn't have the quickness to get through mud.

                  Honestly, being from N. Ohio, I learned to ride in the WV mountains about an hour from Beckley. And I've wrecked every way possible more than once.

                  Quit riding them decades ago. It's a young man's game to get beat up like that. Maybe we'll trade in our two ATV's and get one of those.

                          The time it takes to charge an electric car can be as little as 30 minutes or more than 12 hours. This depends on the size of the battery and the speed of the charging point. A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW

                            Remember you're also charging every time you park in your garage and plug in. You more often than not wouldn't run to E like you would with gas, and you'd have the ability to "fill up" at home unlike gas.

                                The time it takes to charge an electric car can be as little as 30 minutes or more than 12 hours. This depends on the size of the battery and the speed of the charging point. A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW

                                Specifically, the price of electricity will skyrocket by 7.5% tomorrow, which will triple the cost of the same day last year, when an average daily price of 45.1 euros per MWh was recorded. If this trajectory of prices goes through the roof, September will become the most expensive month in history in our country.

                                  This is what a coal fired power plant looks like here.  Going to be even more smoke to charge all these electric cars

                                  Just a spewing pollution

                                    so, electric vehicle, you go out west, every time you need to recharge, you drive a hundred? miles to find a recharging station, only to find they are all filled, and there's a long line for each one.

                                    so, you have to find a hotel or camping spot for the night. every time.

                                    You could probably drive to S. Dakota in three weeks. lol

                                    watch for red states to NOT get rechargers, only blue states will get them. lol

                                        Maybe they could put a small wind turbine on the electric car. Then they could create their own electricity as they were driving
