When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

quite a few of them are, hell the list I've previously shared of 1 mil mile vehicles there where a few that were all original. the one EV had 3 battery changes and 13 motor changes.
Nothing wrong with that. We are going to need LOTS more power. Wind and solar are cheaper to build vs other types right now.
granted I was doing most of the driving itself so wasn't looking much other then traffic most places. tried to book a manual SUV and got stuck with an automatic Renault. was kind of hilariously maddening getting stuck behind slow cars over there.
those are also basically saturated at this point in Iowa compared to putting DA back online which will also need another connection point now due to the solar farm that "replaced" it. the hoops need to be jumped through for it are kind of hilarious really.
I was also driving, solo'ed the first week before meeting my group in Dublin for a few days to end the trip. Only slow traffic I ran into was farm machinery but that was always for a really short stretch.
oh we would get stuck behind vans or buses often over there, would suck doing 30-40 kph in a marked 60 or 80 zone for km, kind of took the fun out of driving there.
On shore wind is one of the least expensive sources of electricity.
Solar is one of the most expensive sources of electricity.
That's for the new data center going up in the area.
Don't really know why I responded to you in good faith, because all you do is troll this thread,
I don't even have a EV and I find your trolling mediocre and boring.
Beat me to it. Also Google announced this week they are pursuing having Palo annex that property as they did not like the terms the county was wanting to approve it/move forward.
The quotes that was in reply to.
Though it's hilarious how many people cant see the clear limitations of evs still.
Who has been saying there aren't limitations? Of course there are limitations, and there are people for whom EVs don't make sense. That's ALWAYS been part of the discussion. But you come in guns-a-blazing that all EVs need to sent to the scrap yard and anyone who buys one is an idiot. And then you wonder why people respond to you the way you do.
People said the same things about horses and cars in the early 20th century. Which one would you have wanted if you lived in that time. Glad we as a country didn't stop progress on a superior product.
This is where EV can help as there is excess power at night. Peak power usage is usually the period when everyone is home from work until most go to bed. I assume Teslas and other more advanced EVs can be set up to only charge after a chosen time, say 11pm. Anyone doing this? Exact opposite effect if everyone gets home and just immediately starts charging.
