So when it gets hotter than 96F, be ready to generate your own power.

Must be a typo? When I lived in Dalllas in the 80’s, in the summer, the highs were either, 98,99, or 100 every day during summer. 96 would be an off day.

Nope, that's what it means to take personal responsibility.

I enjoy some of the subtle anti-EV bias you can find in online media.

Google fed me this article as one of their curated news links that pops up on their home page.

How To Save Thousands When Installing An EV Charger At Home

An electric car will not eliminate all running costs, as you will still need to pay for electricity to charge it – here's how to save some cash.

www.hotcars.com

In the article they stated the following from a story on KBB:

If you saved money to buy your dream electric vehicle, you’re probably thinking that you’re done with the expenses, but the true cost of owning an EV might surprise you. Indeed, you don’t have to pay for fuel anymore, but you still have to cover the costs of charging your car. Kelley Blue Book uses the U.S. household average from June 2022 to calculate that it would cost about $59 per month to charge an electric car. Just to put things into perspective, KBB establishes that if gas costs $3.88 a gallon on average, it will cost about $47 to fill a 12-gallon gas tank. While the difference is pretty remarkable, it’s also worth noting that electricity rates differ from state to state, depending on the availability of the plans, climate, consumption, and supply.

So if you skim you’ll see the “remarkable difference” is an EV cost about $59/month to charge vs only $47 dollars for the ice car.

Of course careful reading or going directly to the KBB story they pulled the stats from shows how misleading this. The $47 is for a single 12 gallon tank in the ICE car.

The KBB article used an EV getting 3miles/kWh and $.15 kWh electricity vs $3.88 a gallon in a 30mpg car. When directly comparing miles driven the ICE costs 2-3 times more to fuel. This article left that part out.

For those who are already looking for any excuse for why it doesn’t make sense to tackle climate change here’s another they can hang their hat(e) on.

I noticed that as well. She really just plain skipped the head-to-head comparison. FUD

Say what? Electricity is not free? Who knew? (Good thing the editor thought this newsworthy!)

Turns out water is important. But most of it goes to alfalfa for cows, and almond trees.

I am going to have to add that this is water outside that used to keep rivers wet and water to treat water for urban and agricultural use. 10% is urban and 50% goes to agricultural use beyond the other uses.

Yep, when you spend, it goes to someone else's pocket. Only the fed and the banks (or scam artists) can create or eliminate money.
