Chevron has fallen!

Where I lived there was demand and they did have bus routes. Some routes had a bus going every 8 mins, while quieter ones had them every 30 mins or so. Like I said, it depends on demand. No point in having a bus route if no one uses it.

 

Fair enough.

Actions and decisions by federal departments and agencies will still occur. If a business or advocacy group doesn’t like the action, they can file a lawsuit. This is all the same. The difference is that the departments aren’t assumed experts.
“
Agencies charged with consumer protection, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission, often face opposition from financial service firms and other private-sector companies, which may claim that new rules constrain their ability to compete or cost them too much.

Think of issues like what shows up on your credit report, what fees banks and other consumer service providers can charge, how lenders make credit decisions, and rules governing the protection of consumers from scams and fraud. Lawsuits that block those regulations could be costly for consumers, advocates say.
…
Giving power to the judicial branch to interpret how agencies can apply consumer laws when there are statutory ambiguities will hurt consumers and “rubber-stamp” the political aims of “activist judges,” Rust said, adding that it will also limit the ability of consumer advocates to weigh in on regulatory policy.

 

The issue in such lawsuits will not be the merits of this or that ruling, but whether the agency has any right to make any ruling at all. It will be a quick death.

 

It will not supply what we need. The Grid is not able to handle what the whacked-out Biden administration wants. Millions more EVs will shut down the grid. It will take decades to upgrade the grid

New battery cuts electric vehicle charging time to 5 Minutes
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article289692309.html
One British company is aiming to disrupt the EV car charging market. Nyobolt, based in Cambridge, England, has developed a battery that took just four and a half minutes to charge from 10% to 80%. That’s about 75% faster than it takes current chargers, such as Tesla’s Supercharger, to complete.

And Nyobolt’s CEO says he thinks the technology could be ready to use sooner than you think, saying “Our extensive research here in the UK and U.S. has unlocked a novel battery technology that is ready and scalable right now. We are enabling the electrification of new products and services currently considered inviable or impossible.”

 

We shall see. Doesn't do anything for range anyway.

 

What happens after 80%?

 

It might reduce range if an EV owner only has 5 minutes for charging. That only gets to 80%.

 

Much iof the US grid can be upgraded by simply replacing high voltage wiring. Many Utilities are holding off on doing this, hoping to get a handout to upgrade everything.

The city of Austin did a study. If all cars in Austin were changed out to EVs, and all the owners charged at night, they would need no new infrastructure.

 

I also read about this today. With the proper grid mods, area by area, the US can achieve these charging times. That said, most EV charging is done at home.

 

The control system is the issue. It becomes less stanle. The Chinese Communist Party recognizes this and has publicly so stated. You claim to be an electrical engineer?

 

I’m finished responding to your unsupported posts. Blithering and blathering like a know-it-all.

 

The problem is that you haven’t responded to my points. Your responses have consistently consisted of insults and personal attacks.

With regards to my credibility I am a retired engineer with a BS in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Tech and a MS-Thermal Systems from Cal Berkeley. I worked for GE Nuclear for 7 years and Applied Materials for 22 years. I an a registered professional engineer in the state of California and have my name on 17 patents.

 

Then you are deliberately being dishonest when you say things like "the amount of high level radioactive waste in the world is "miniscule"". I stand by my statement.

 

It doesn't say, but common sense suggests 80-100% will take more than 5 mins.

No, but some EVs have decent range. I would not buy an EV if I had to travel long distance. The EV version of my car (Acura) has 325-mile range. IMO they are suited for daily commute to and from work. My brother has a hybrid, since he does travel long distance quite often. Well, I am not in market for one no matter what, since my ICE is only 3 yrs old, and I'll probably keep it for well over 10 yrs. I kept the Acura I had before for 20 yrs.

 

Compared to other forms of energy on a yearly basis it is minuscule.

 

Then why do they not so state?

 

Looks like they settled for stating the most relevant part, - you can charge up to 80% in 5 mins.

 

So if one is in a hurry the range is limited to 80%.

 

Yes, like if you are in a hurry and only have time to pump 5 gallons as opposed to full tank. In that case your range is limited to 5 gallons, or about 80 miles.

 

Gas at the pump is delivered at ~ 8 gpm.

 

Depends on the pump, but sure. If you're hauling bricks of cocaine in the trunk and cops are closing in, then you'd probably want to have an ICE.

Most people can sacrifice 5 mins to save $60 at the pump.

 

People in a hurry are cocaine dealers??

That’s not what the data indicates.
