Electric Cars and The Future

[Sirait]

Electric car will be nice.. but it's not gonna favour oil producing nation's because there oil will not be of much use

^ On average, currently the world's largest oil-producing country (US and Saudi Arabia) is intensively investing in electric vehicles, and reportedly electric vehicles are now very efficient and we don't even need to worry about the batteries of these electric vehicles.

the negative impact that will occur when electric vehicles are adopted en masse is oil mining workers who will certainly decrease but new jobs will appear along with it.


this data that I took from a site about electric car sales since the beginning of this year.

The sale of electric cars (electric vehicles / EVs) is increasingly in demand by the world community. According to reports, nearly 3 million electric cars were sold worldwide from January to May in 2022. This number increased by more than 80% compared to the same period last year (year-on-year/yoy). In January-May 2021, global electric car sales were only 1.7 million units.

Based on the manufacturer, Tesla still maintains its edge as the world's largest electric car "factory". The company created by Elon Musk is able to control a 13.6% market share of global electric car manufacturers in January-May 2022. The joint venture company alias SAIC-GM-Wuling ranks second as the second largest electric car manufacturer in the world. The market share of this Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer reaches 9.3% globally.

BYD Automobile and Volkswagen are next with an electric car market share of 8.5% each. Followed by Hyundai-KIA and Geely-Volvo with an electric car market share of 6.2% each. Meanwhile, as much as 47.7% is the market share of electric cars from other manufacturers.

I absolutely am a fan of electric cars. My top picks are the Polestar 2 and a Tesla 3. They are beautifully engineered, the experience of being in one is just a pleasure and they are affordably priced for what you get.

I think being on the cutting edge of a new technology is very exciting. I also think combustion engines are losing mass appeal because they are not seen as environmentally conscious and I would never buy something like a gas powered car that is so expensive that does not have public desirability.

polestar gets a rating of 8/10, that shows that consumers are very satisfied with the electric car, I immediately put polestar into the pool because I'm sure polestar will be a tough competitor for tesla and other electric cars in the future.

Having an electric car it good ,but what about the difficulties in finding electric stations,  And it also has a limited driving range

I think all-electric car owners have to prepare themselves for that, for example in the city where I live, my city government provides 4 electric charging stations and the plan is to continue to increase the number. in my city right now only a few percent of car owners have switched to electric cars, I'm sure if the number of users increases, the charging stations will also increase and the charging process will also speed up, currently the electric cars that dominate my country's market are those from Hyundai.

I really like tesla electric cars, they are the future

[ashslm]

Yes, if in global we can already have a choice between gasoline and electricity, then why not electricity, Tesla FTW

[Fuso.hp]

The way diesel and petrol prices are increasing at present, it will become difficult to drive a car on diesel petrol and octane at some point. Considering these issues, the world famous car manufacturer Tesla is launching electric cars in the market. But these electric cars have many facilities such as these cars do not emit any harmful fumes for the environment and the noise of these cars is very low which does not cause noise pollution in the environment. As time changes, people will adapt themselves to electric cars.

Hydrogen is the future. It will destroy the oil industry. Oils will be made from plant esters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_esters


Researchers Can Now Make Clean Hydrogen Fuel By Pulling it Directly From Seawater...


https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/researchers-can-now-make-clean-hydrogen-fuel-by-pulling-it-directly-from-seawater-no-filtering-required/
Researchers in Australia, an island nation, have successfully split seawater to produce green hydrogen without pre-treatment.

An international chemical engineering team, led by the University of Adelaide's Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng, were motivated by the fact that the only thing emitted by hydrogen fuel is water.

"We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 percent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, using a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyzer," said Professor Qiao.

"We used seawater as a feedstock without the need for any pre-treatment processes like reverse osmosis desolation, purification, or alkalization," said Associate Professor Zheng.

The team reports that the performance of their seawater with catalysts of cobalt oxide and chromium oxide is close to the performance of expensive platinum/iridium catalysts running in a feedstock of highly purified deionized water.

"Increased demand for hydrogen to partially or totally replace energy generated by fossil fuels will significantly increase scarcity of increasingly-limited freshwater resources," explained Zheng.

Seawater is an almost infinite resource and is considered a natural feedstock electrolyte, which would be very practical for regions with long coastlines and abundant sunlight.

Of all the electric cars, I like the Tesla best

[Car22]

yes tesla is best option and good comfortable car .

[Kath Bliss]

Based on the results, it appears that the best electric car right now is the Tesla. It has the highest rate of popularity among those included in the poll.

[devil-soul]

The basic idea would also be right to pollute the planet less but there are several cons such as electric cars that are very expensive, have little autonomy, take a long time to recharge

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular and are expected to play a significant role in the future of transportation. By 2025, EVs and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are expected to account for an estimated 30% of all vehicle sales. In the US, electric vehicle sales have climbed by more than 40% a year since 2016. Investment bank UBS predicts that by 2025, 20% of all new cars sold globally will be electric, and that number will increase to 40% by 2030. There are also many upcoming EV models expected to be produced and sold from 2023 onward

Electric cars feature no one can tell this, because electric cars are good cars but some people buy the car for their sound. Some rich peoples buy cars for their speed, sound, and of course look, electric cars had no sound but everyone had different choices. So, I think the electric car feature is 50%. Tesla also is an electric car but the company CEO is Elon Musk so, that's why people buy this car otherwise nothing is special in this car but Tesla is a good car.

Electric vehicles  are surely the future of transportation due to their environmental benefits and technological advancements. As the world is focusing on cleaner energy and reducing emissions, electric vehicle will surely replace fossil fuel-powered vehicles in the coming years.

[PepeTalk]

Electric cars don't have sound but some people buy cars for their sound like the Supra MK4, Ferrari, Mustang, Bugghati, Lamborghini Sian and etc.  People buy the Supra MK4, Mustang, Ferrari, Lamborghini Sian and etc. for two reasons one is sound and the second is look These two things impress some people, and people buy a car.

What about their battery? Saw a tweet where someone freaked out about leaving their Tesla at 100% charge for hours.

[spectre71]

Electric cars are "feel good" junk. Just making the batteries is a some total loss.

Most electric vehicle companies manufacture these cars at an extreme loss, how is that made up? Sell more fuel cars.

How are you going to charge it? Ah, most like gas turbines and coal. The power infrastructure won't even remotely handle the load. Need ALLOT more 24/7/365 nuclear power plant to support base load. Here in California we have blackout and demands to reduce consumption including not charging you car! Cali is also making demand to ban natural gas appliances! Whirly thing and solar panel won't even REMOTELY carry that load. It's math not feel god bullshit.

How are low income families supposed to afford this crap, Bidenomics already fucked them hard. With what money?

Wake up.

Think of this... I logged into CALISO (California's grid manager) the in 2018 on a hot day. IIRC is was approx 75,000 MW (equiv of about 50+ nuclear reactors or roughly 17000 high power diesel locomotives.

That same year China ADDED 289,000MW of dirt coal power plants. SO it's futile battle that will never win. We can't change the world by hurting ourselves.

[Papillion]

on the other hand we havent resolved c8 since kingdoms, when will we both be able to afford to look past one?
