  1. Yeah, I’ll put this in the ever bulging “no shit” pile.

    I mean, the same grifters trying to sell us the Age of Green…want us to wait until 9PM to do our laundry and dishes…

  2. Finally someone grasps reality? In Canada, imagine 20 million vehicles pluggin in at 6PM every day.

        1. I saw that video at a China charging station. Think how far away from the hotel building itself the parking lot would have to be placed for fire safety reasons. What about older hotels in prime locations in Cdn cities like at the West Ed Mall with covered parkades (i.e. intense fires with spread potential not in the open)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsBgDXHVorE

    1. There’s my good news post for the day! Thx, OMJ.

      May they sell a hunnert thousand of ’em this quarter, each at a $60k loss.

      1. A loss on every sale, but they can make it up in volume, DB.


        Hey! I have an idea… Get Dylan Mulvaney to endorse the trucks. Tranny Trucks™, for hauling home your load of free Bud Light.

        Yeah… that’s the ticket. That oughta work.

  3. Processing 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, 25,000 pounds of ore for copper Diging up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust For just – one – battery.Mar 14, 2022
    Fufing crazy 400 lb battery takes 500,000 lbs to make it.
    And an entire city’s electricity to charge it, It’s called progress.

    1. Who killed the electric car? Math killed the electric car … a long time ago. Too bad our schools stopped requiring math competency to graduate …

      1. Basic math does not matter for the 2+2= new face tattoo generation.

  4. If Ford and general electric and general motors, would have asked people to do this just 20 years ago we would have said they were crazy now we know they’re crazy.

    1. There will be problems with AI computers they won’t have enough electricity to run any of them.
      The Computers will have to destroy us all because we’re starving them to death.

    2. “Open the refrigerator door Hal”

      “Open the Damn refrigerator door, Hal I’m starving;”

      ‘HAL’

      “Tough Shit Dave,
      EAT BUGS”

  5. 3.65kWh/day will be the ration assigned to each electric vehicle in the great glorious future planned by the “expert class”…

    and every other electric use will need to be shut down from 10 pm to 6 am to provide that ration.

  6. They first indicate the near impossibility of electrifying their fleet yet the continue to declare how they are committed to the zero emissions target. Why?? Why go along with this nonsense and make these ridiculous declarations? These trucking organizations and companies are still being part of the problem. Until society wakes up and pushes back against this nonsense then the politicians will continue to push forward until it’s too late and they destroy our cheap reliable electrical, heating and fuel infrastructure.

    1. Why go along with it? Same reason every company has a recycling policy, a diversity and inclusion policy, a tranny policy and employee matched contributions to the United Way. It’s all virtue signalling and that’s what’s destroying the western world. The Chicoms and Arabs are simply enjoying the show.

  7. Physics and math are hard. Leftist politicians and their green voters don’t do physics or math. They do feelings and votes instead, and their feelings and votes matter more than facts.

    It’s long past time for the realities started to hit these folks, hard. History will judge. It always does.

  8. Turn down that thermostat to save energy but don’t forget to plug the electric car in.

    1. In the Jimmy Carter era … I could only purchase gasoline on ‘odd’ numbered days. Soon … I will only be able to charge my electric car every other week.

  9. I have a customer, who is moderately conservative, she likes O’Butthole and despises Trump, and until that changes, nothing else will change. Also I told her there will be civil war in the USA. And I stand by that, once the patriots wake up, look out GREEN IDIOTS!

  10. Remember the summer brown outs in California from a few years ago when the aluminium smelter at Kitimat BC sent everyone home with pay so they could send the power south to Calif. ?

    There isn’t enough cushion in the electrical grid to supply this, nor is there enough copper at current prices to build this out. Nor are there enough linemen to build a new electrical grid for North America.

    1. Reply to marc in calgary

      And the fire and brimstone season hasn’t hit California yet.

  11. Eventually the giant bite of reality will sink in on all of this woke, green, AI, trans idiocy, Drag crap, all of it.
    The issue will be whether it’s too late to return to sanity by then!
