Lol. Someone at my work actually did that the other day.
Yeah, but I've been thinking about it ever since my post. I keep running up against the same problem. How do you find a general area where enough people are getting stranded often enough to make the business work?
EV drivers are careful to figure out where to find intermediate charging stations if they're on a long trip. The actual rate at which EV drivers are stranded is quite low. According to the surveys I've been able to find (Yes, I have been thinking about this since my post.) EVs tend to get stranded about every 100,000 to 500,000 miles driven. So it just doesn't happen very often.
Making a profit at that business would probably require finding some location where there is enough EV traffic but a paucity of charging stations. As soon as you found such a location, though, I'm sure someone would build a charging station.
It looks like the rig in the picture is doing it as a business but I can't figure out how.
Still. If they could scale back the limiter...Realizing you can't force people to buy what they don't want
Battery powered electric vehicles are the new minidisc.
Obsolete before they even started.
The sheer amount of natural resources required to produce the batteries and motors alone make them unsustainable for the long term. Resources are finite. Extraction and refinement are horrifically energy intensive and environmentally destructive.
It’s the inconvenient truth that the motor industry is already whispering in the corridors, but there’s money to be made so they’re playing along.
Until the future arrives, I'll keep driving my Tacoma and Subaru for quite a few years.Yep, the market will dictate when the change occurs.......I for one, will not give up fossil fuels for the foreseeable future......
Someday EV's will be less expensive to own and operate than a fossil fuel vehicle.....
A lot of Countries will find themselves looking for income from another source.....
Electric motors beat gas motors. The batteries are what holds them back from becoming totally useful.I noticed today Ford advertising the Mustang with a V8 motor. Up till today I've only seen the electric version. Have they noticed people still like horsepower? Maybe they are losing sales to muscle car Corvette or Camaro? Realizing you can't force people to buy what they don't want.
