Somehow I have a gut feeling EV owners are far less affected by the winter blizzard than ICE owners. To begin with, there are far fewer EV owners. And EV owners seem more affluent. They seem to have more resources, more money, easier work schedules, more friends, etc. I bet loads of EV owners own an ICE, a genny, a wood-burning fireplace, a gas grille, live in neighbourhoods that are ploughed first, where the power is restored first, etc.
I bet most EV owners are saying ‘the blizzard was not that bad after all.’ But let’s get back to the silly narrative. |

Manufacturers won't really object to the current status quo as they can just fall back to every manufacturer is doing proprietary battery systems even within their own model lines. Manufacturers will also support this current system as it's built in planned obsolescence. So it guarantees them a steady income stream as they know people will have to buy a new car at some point. "My battery is no longer good." "Well that'll be $16k." Or "Sorry, the manufacturer no longer makes that battery." Until there is some mandate to force standardization of at least the battery connectors or some way of making the electrical interface modular to allow future upgrades as battery technology evolves, this whole situation is going to be a mess that will continue to get messier. |

If it's even feasible for such a service, you'll have the manufacturers just serializing the batteries. Oh you can't just get any rebuilt battery pack. You have to get one from us because we're worried about your safety. This now falls onto the whole Right to Repair movement.

Time to throw out the laptops boys, when the power goes out pad & quill are your only friends
Unless this is some sort of humble brag about that new steam-powered dildo Santa brought, what sense does it make to spike the football when technology doesn’t work so well in a natural disaster

I'm the same age as Murf. People of our age learned most everything via peer-reviewed books written by educators. It is expensive to produce a book vs. writing something on the internet that can be rewritten at the whim of a political urge. It's why I tend not to believe most "data" that exists on the internet. I suspect Murf is mostly the same. As a Law Enforcement Officer, Murf has done real shit in his life based on what he has shared with us on E90Post, so like me, an expert has to prove his case to me. I was educated not to be in fear of the climate, but rather to be amazed by the Earth's science, its geological history, anthropological history, its paleontological history and the astrophysical effect of the solar system has on the earth and all planets. So, when a bureaucrat insists I must "believe the science" about anthropogenic climate change or else I be classified as a "science denier", I get quite defensive. Even worse when that bureaucrat requires me to believe humans can choose what gender they are, then I'm seriously doubting his climate position is based on science and rather it is just purely political. I like to use scientific logic as my belief system. It's why I ask guys like H20_Doc to tell me what point in the earth's climate history he wants to roll back to and what mechanism based on what algorithm will keep the climate static so we humans can continue to prosper on the planet (when every other species eventually goes extinct). I've asked him numerous times, and he never has an answer.

It’s not a conclusion. It’s an assumption. There are approx. 500,000 ICE vehicles for each EV in America. And EV owners seem to have more means to deal with weather conditions, since it seems they’re better off. It’s easy to assume ICE owners were more affected than EV owners. 500,000:1. Nothing else to say here.

If those EV owners as you ASSUME have other means of transportation, then that just further solidifies my point that the EV is an unstable and unreliable mode of transportation and energy source than ICE..., You are doing some kind of circular logic jedi mind trick on yourself to keep this EV fairy tale alive in your paradigm, its prob better to base your conclusions on evidence rather than assumptions |

This thread has derailed into nonsense from the first post. Especially arguing if one person's knowledge of science is better than the other person's like it's two different things. There is a thing called "learning", one of a person's best traits is gaining new information and understanding it, even if it challenges what they already knew. But I guess the oldheads kept to their old system of understanding when Magellan proved the Earth was round.
Mocking people with EVs doesn't help your case. If you want to debate that the range of batteries is not enough for most people then fine. I believe our power grid is not up to par yet, and will not be until we put 100% effort into building a nation-sustaining nuclear power, that is the only long-term solution. That is understandable, but not talking about boogeymen like "bureaucrats" or how "government say is good so really is bad"
