Diesel GMC For Sale

[d c *mac* macdonald]

Don't count gasoline and Diesel out for a LONG, LONG time.

Current electrical infrastructure will not support charging
for more than about one in two or three hundred (or many
more) houses.

Massive adoption of nuclear power will be needed to even
BEGIN to supply the needed power for all that charging and
that is hardly likely to fly against the wind of the eco-freaks!

The ecological destruction that will be needed to massively
expand the electrical infrastructure will make the reaction to
nuclear power expansion look like a Sunday school picnic!

It’s not about big-oil or the government. The market will soon demand more electric cars than gas cars and trucks because they will be better, faster, cheaper.

ICE has had a good run, and it’s not over yet, but electric motoring is going to dominate.

This will bring creative opportunities for our motorhomes. As battery density and motor efficiency increases replacing 350 lbs of gasoline and 600 lbs of engine with batteries and maybe hub motors will be attractive to many.

Just as some are wild about diesel, cad 500’s, and fuel injection, so will some be wild about electrons. Pull into an RV park for the night and get a “full tank”? Kinda nice.

Pull into home base empty and let the solar panel top up the battery over a few days for free? Why not.

The future is going to be a gas, just not much petroleum gas!

The grid has the capacity for off-hours charging. Too bad solar does not
work at off-hours. Unfortunately, nukes seem to be the only way out if
everyone drives a Tesla equivalent car unless we do a lot of combined-cycle
natural gas that the greenies want to get rid of.
Our peak load would move from 5-8 PM to 9 PM-7 AM. As a result, the
baseload generation would double, and there would not be much need (room)
for solar in the daytime. There would still be room to charge a car/truck
when needed, but the vast majority would be done on off-hours charging
rate.
We would still need hydro and batteries to even out the peaks and values.
Nukes do not throttle well.

The current state is just that - current. We move. Electric generation will increase to meet demand - it what efficient markets do.

Petrol has a competitor and it will come on strong and clean. Drive a Tesla and you’ll realize that electric cars, though still in their developmental infancy, are a match for petrol cars.

No threat to anyone. Just more choice and improvement for everyone.

My town of Fremont, California is where every Tesla in America comes from. The most American car made today from an expensive State. Still there is a pervasive dislike for these cars that I don’t understand. I wonder if Model T’s we’re so disliked by horse and buggy lovers.
