So hypothetically, someone could take their home battery bank to a Fast Charge station and charge it when the solar panels could not due to winter and summer storms. Then go home and put them back on the rack?

Have you seen the prices of fast charging? If you want to use the full 350 KW, they add on an additional fee. It's not free to use a majority of these chargers.

There are a set of pay per KW chargers by one of my work places, and they do a $5 credit card fee, and then charge like $0.60/KWH. So to do 100 KW on your typical electric car, you'd be spending $65-70.

So, where are the savings? It's not green either.

$60 -$70 would be worth having backup power at home or at Bug Out site. Better than waiting for Solar power to charge up, All it would have to do is maintain as needed.

What will they do when there are no EV’s? EV’s are failing. With this the government will push them and try to squash hydrogen.

Agreed. EVs and or EV charging are not green, not even close. Solar and wind are all but useless, a fuck'n joke. They don't produce anywhere near enough electricity to charge EVs. So coal or natgas needs to burn to generate the electricity. I expect politicians are $invested in EVs, it's just another follow the $$ thing.

To be fair, I don't like hydrogen either. Electrolysis is worse than just burning gas, pollution wise. Also, hydrogen does hydrogen things when conditions are right, and I don't want to be inside or anywhere near a vehicle where conditions are right for hydrogen to do hydrogen things.

It’s for the Schumer EV (Everlasting Vacation) Account

[ETA: @Saltwater60 has recently posted about my 2 of my comments below - guess I'm getting slow.]

Exactly!!!

And that account is in the Caymans or Channel Islands.

The grift on the "sustainable" energy (wind/solar) and EV boondoggles must be enormous.

And they keep doing it, even when frozen wind turbines send Texas into the power crapper, no one is buying the ridiculous things (EVs Overstocked at Dealerships Due to High Supply and Low Demand), and Hertz is dumping 20,000 EVs and replacing them with ICE-powered cars (Hertz is selling 20,000 EVs and replacing them with gas cars | TechCrunch).

Other than nuclear, the whole "sustainable" energy "movement" is just another asset-stripping scam.

Where are you going to charge those puppies when BIG.Gov says "You've had enough electricity this month, slave."?

Why does anyone have to secure anything? How about we just pay them less fucking taxes and build shit ourselves rather than beg for fucking handouts? That sounds like a better idea to me.

But then there wouldn't be any, or very little, need for politicians...

Hey!!! That's a good deal - less politicians, and all the infrastructure would work and be well made!!

Naahhhhhhh!! That's to easy.

LibertySnake - 2024. I'll even run Harris as my running mate, since someone has to be good on their knees to win.

But then people who don't work or do shit won't be able to get it for "free" (AKA, everyone else pays for them) because they're disadvantaged or whatever. See, I figured it out.

WTF does $15M even buy anymore, besides a few votes?

Fuck Chuck. The guy is one of the worst humans on earth. Fucking pig.

it buys a whole company .. since companies are now people thanks to SCOTUS ..

the company CEO or President get to vote on behalf of all the employees ..

so if company has 15K employees .. so that is 15K votes against what the employees really voted for

;) ;) ;) :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:
