you go after everyone especially those that can do something about it by changing their ways i.e. the western world with highest per capita usage. Not to change your ways when you can is irresponsible and stupid. China (and India) is like a large tanker that will take a long time to turn to get rid of coal and replace with cleaner options, it can't happen overnight. They are the fastest growing economy with regard to renewables so they are on their way whilst some Western countries are doing their best to drag their heels
No-one is saying that. You listen to music on good equipment to hear the finer bits of playing. Electronic music a great but does not need really expensive equipment to listen to it. Listening to something compiled on a computer is not going to have any nuances like a guitar solo from the likes of Dave Gilmour, Mark Knofler or a soloist in an orchestra.
Whats the point of having the best equipment if the music is created on a computer in the first place or put through a program to make it sound better because the singer can't sing or guitarist can't play?
they could process it into house style bricks, leave it outside for a few months to go stale and hard and then Trump can use them to build his wall. might attract all the "rats" he complains about too...
the mistake you are making is that you are expecting these few childish truckers to be logical or thoughtful, its hard for them when they are so racked with jealousy of someone having a more than them.
"f it's their tax money being wasted on some asshole Tesla driver." how does that compare to all the tax money being used to prop up a dying industry from the 2 centuries ago?
Sounds odd considering that the buses can recharge on the downhill with regen braking. Seems okay for a 45 ton dump truck https://newatlas.com/komatsu-e...
There are always buses in the depot doing nothing for a while. They use lots of buses during peak rush hours and then scale back between peaks that so all they have to do is swap a bus and change its number while the driver has lunch and then the bus gets charged. And don't forget the driver has a bladder that will emptying from time to time. Simple.
that may be the history of fossil burning but its reaching a tipping point regarding consequences. Not caring about the potential 2C rise in the future because the current population won't be around is not tenable. Its their grandchildren and their children that will suffer the consequences for the "head in the sand" attitude and not starting to fix the problem now, that is not a great legacy to leave their future families.
What about nuclear, wind, solar, hydro that are in the mix of power generation? Power generation is not all dirty.
"One generator creating an enormous amount of power is less wasteful than a million tiny generators creating insignificant power and wasting most of that in the form of heat." that only really counts for fossil fuel burning. With advent of renewables there are going to be many microgrids pulling together all the roof solar that produces no pollution. This mitigates the old "all eggs in one basket" idea so you don't get one massive failure.
Is it fully there yet? No, of course not, its new tech but it is in places and slowly building up. Hopefully the grid will become a fall back resource in the future and microgrids will take the commercial power away from the old utilities.
"Think about it.. availability of Fast chargers which will be a necessity......." - there is more than one charger at lots of sites and the vast majority of EV drivers will not need a fast charger more than a few times a year. "Anything to do with life safety.. (emergency vehicles)... utility trucks.. not really viable for this." - why not? they don't have to travel far. "Construction equipment...."- look up "electric construction equipment" in google, being prepared. they all charged up before they go - common sense - who uses the equipment during the night (apart from a few special cases)? "Storm response - if a severe storm knocks out power to an area for some extended period of time -" mobile solar plus batteries "Commercial product/services..." - check for "refrigerated electric vans" in google
"If you have to street park 100% of the time at home and at work, maybe an EV won't work for you." thats the case for now but if they have a ICE car they must park it somewhere overnight. Those "somewheres" will start to get chargers just like they get parking meters, in fact they could double up the functions. Street lights can also be converted to double up as a charger too. Some apartment blocks also have parking.
what would you do if your ICE was up on blocks with the gearbox out and it would take a few hours to get it back and working and you had an urgent need to use the car? There are all sorts of hypothetical situations as virtually no solution is 100% perfect.

Have they actually said that other Evs can charge at the new CCS Type 2 Tesla points? Good news if they have

Nothing wrong with that - they want to hand it to a local contractor - good for local employment
This is one situation where i could be tempted into buying a rifle to use these drones as target practice

the tesla is on the same and he's being gentle with pulling it

Step 6: work out how to simulate an EV for the data connection handshake with charger

are you mentally old enough to drive?
they are "smug" because they have an EV? that chip on your shoulder must be getting heavy.
unfortunately there are far too many irresponsible gun owners out there with shit for brains
both panels and batteries are almost 100% recyclable so disposal not required
and Southern Australia until they got a Tesla battery
aahh but then they'll have to drive 700 miles back to the restaurants where it was local before

I don't see him saying his friend bought a brand new M3 - it may well have been a used car
