    6:37 um dos problemas dos EV é essa expectativa de carregar em casa. Veículos a combustão vão até o posto mais próximo e ninguém nunca reclamou disso, ou seja, nunca ninguém pensou em ter gasolina na sua garagem ou calçada. Esse ponto me chama atenção porque assim que Ford lançou seu primeiro automóvel, já surgiram postos de combustívl em toda esquina.
    No caso dos EV não.
    Aqui no Brasil se eu cobrir 2000 m² com placas solares já produzo energia pra carregar vários EV's, creio que na Austrália não seja muito diferente. Talvez carregar uma bateria de grande porte e depois "descarregá-la" nos EV seja uma forma de carga rápida. Ou seja, eu acho que existem saídas. MAs ninguém investe nesse negócio e isso me alerta. O governo dos EUA teria disponibilizado 6 bi em emprestimos subsidiados para postos de carga, só que não apareceu interessado.
    Eu gostaria muito que alguém me esclarecesse a respeito desse "detalhe".

      The sheer energies of powering a residence and charging up an EV are vastly different.

      The amount of power EVs demand is HUGE. No home solar system could do it by itself, it'd have to be on the grid, and even then- there's not enough power in the grid itself to charge lots of EVs. Most places have barely enough power to keep home A/C working, there's none left over for EVs. One charging station for EVs could power at least 10 homes!

      If she has a job (likely) then she’s at work during the day. She’s at home overnight when the sun isn’t shining. Charge overnight means adding a battery - the cheapest 10kw battery is $12000 AUD. To fully charge even a baby 50kwh EV battery means …… ridiculously expensive outlay. Or, if she had a petrol car she could just put about $80 per week of fuel in it and be fine. She’d get most of that back on cheaper insurance, tyres (tires) and less depreciation.

      @@fredcomstock1100 Where does electricity come from?
      Here's a hint, it's burning fuel. So every time you charge up your electric car, you're doing it by burning gasoline basically. ICE cars burn the fuel over time, EVs require all the fuel be burned now so the electricity is available to charge the car. As you increase the number of EVs, you need to burn more oil to generate more electricity constantly, because you ALWAYS need to be able to charge the hoard of cars.
      EVs don't provide a net benefit to carbon emissions, they still need electricity so they still need oil to work. EV companies just hide that by making it so the car doesn't produce emissions DIRECTLY so they can BULLSHIT you and say their car is GREEN when it's actually just burning oil in the background instead.
      Also if you got an electric and an ICE car and turned on the AC, you'd be running both those things off the car's battery, so uh.... No, neither of us would die in that situation. You're thinking of running the ENGINE, not the AC.

    DAqui do Brasil.
    Eu gostaria muito que todos que viram esse vídeo e seus autores também, fizessem alguns questionamentos:
    1 - Porque pedem sempre o ponto de carga público se nunca o fizeram para combustível fossil? Eletricidade é grátis? Não precisa ser produzida? Cai do céu?
    2 - MUITO IMPORTANTE: porque ninguém investe num ponto de carga como um negócio qualquer como fazem com posto de combustível fóssil, com área de suporte, conveniência, alimentação e etc?
    Tem quem acha que é problema da montadora. Não é não. E enquanto não se explicar essa limitação em relação ao ponto de carga o negócio não vai deslanchar.
    O que atrapalha? O que impede o investidor de entrar no negócio de ponto de carga? Pergunto porque isso acontece no mundo todo. Na Austrália ninguém investe no négio, nos EUA idem, na Europa a mesma coisa, no Brasil idem. Não cito a China porque pra eles é política de estado e não gostaria de ver acontecer dessa forma no Brasil, somos diferentes, nem melhores nem piores, diferentes. E dificilmente uma política pública nesse sentido não alimentaria muita corrupção, então melhor deixar para o mercado. Só que não deslancha.

    People just have to acknowledge that not all technologies can be applied to every applications.
    Golf carts are pretty much all electric because that is the best application.
    Steam worked great for trains, but not for cars.
    Large OTR semi trucks predominantly use diesel fuel, because that is an optimal application. Electric semi trucks are disadvantaged by battery weight, range, and charging time.
    For many people currently a hybrid is the best solution.
    If we changed fuel it to alcohol it would be as seamless as going from leaded to unleaded gasoline.

      @@robertkubrick3738 Not to mention, batteries are fucking heavy.
      The more you increase the range of the electric truck, you can ONLY do that by making the battery bigger. Make the battery bigger, you make it heavier. Make the battery heavier, and the truck has to work harder to move it. If the truck has to work harder to move it, it'll use more power and thus have less range.
      Electric trucks just don't make any fucking sense. A diesel truck's weight doesn't change that dramatically, in fact it gets LIGHTER as it drives because fuel is being burned off. With more powerful engines comes, well, more power. You can get more bang for your buck, meanwhile with an electric, the ONLY option is make the battery bigger, and that has insanely shitty diminishing returns.
      Companies that switch from diesel trucks to electric suffer, this is just a FACT. EVs are NOT good for moving heavy loads.

Instead of a 10-minute fillup at a station a couple of miles from home, you have to drive a long distance to a Tesla charger and wait an hour or two to get to 100%. No thanks.
