@anasalhajji Unfortunately we have reached a time when people in the US who have chosen a political side will stick with that side and anything they say, regardless of however much truth smacks them in the face.
@ummwuttt @JianxiongLi2 @CathieDWood Right now a typical roadside gas station(10~ pumps) occupies 3-5 acres. It takes ten minutes to get gas. Bump that to 40 minutes and you have four times as many cars. Now you’re looking at 20+ acres for one station. California can’t handle its present load but let’s add cars?
@ummwuttt @JianxiongLi2 @CathieDWood You don’t see the issue because you are insulated from the realities of the scope. Have you ever driven down I-30 between Dallas and Little Rock? Do you know how many large trucks occupy the roads? Charging those alone will take massive acreage. Not to mention the electricity
@hotdogoil I much prefer the heavy shit from north Louisiana to Bakken. That light stuff makes my job running the air sniffer a lot harder when y’all spill it everywhere
@ummwuttt @JianxiongLi2 @CathieDWood Riiiight. You should come work in emergency response sometime. 14 hour shifts in the truck with lives on the line. No time for hours at the charging station.
@drenitzenelson @JianxiongLi2 @CathieDWood At work we regularly have trucks running for 48+ hours. We eat and sleep and work out of them until the job is done. I guess we better start buying generators
@JianxiongLi2 @CathieDWood The charge time and real estate required is a tough hurdle. Lightning chargers ~ 80% in ~ 40 minutes. That’s less than 300 mile range. My recent 18 hour road trip would have required around six hours of charge time as opposed to 20 minutes total at the pump.
