Internal combustion is less complicated

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Now THAT is retarded.

I can refuel a semi in 15 minutes and haul several tons of material at 75 mph several hundred miles.

Is that how you commute to work, in a semi hauling several tons of material? Because if it is you jumped into a conversation that is irrelevant to you (surprise). Right tool for the job and all that. Hard to understand for simpler minded people.

Fuck, I hate you millennials. You guys simply cannot believe that anyone actually knows more than you, because you read Wikipedia and watch TED.

I don't think you can be a millenial if you're over a half century old. You project way too much. It's really inhibiting your ability to learn. You've let yourself become outdated. Congratulations on becoming the stereotype about old people unable to learn or understand new technology. I don't believe you're actually that old, though. Your irrational hormone-driven anger betrays your lies. You're very likely in your twenties, as that's when idiots are at the peak of thinking they know everything and full of anger for no reason ... like a teenage girl.

Also your comment about guns is beyond stupid. Fuck me.

If you don't know that lead is dense and expands on impact, and that's why we use it for firearms, you will need to give some serious reconsideration to who is stupid in this conversation.

Yes, yes I'm 20 years old. You can tell by the way all my points are unique, and based on personal experience, and not from Wikipedia.

You honestly made me laugh. We are talking about energy sources (well I am anyway) and you think my mockery of your gun comment is about the density of lead?

Holy fuck. Lead's density doesn't hold a candle to you.

If you are in your 50's then you must be one of those boomers who was a prototype for the Millennials.

My arguments for how batteries don't work for trucks is just as applicable to cars.

Battery means literally "a group of things connected together."

Batteries are a battery of energy cells. Each cell is a limited use toxic waste container. Each cell, and each connection between cells must be working for the battery to work. Each connection reduces efficiency. Any problem with a cell causes problems for the battery.

Batteries are not really repairable. They are heavy. They are amazingly fragile.

The whole system is inefficient and fragile.

Let's compare this to combustion. A fuel tank doesn't have a shelf life like the battery. Fuel isn't fragile to bumps. Fuel is easily transportable. Fuel is relatively stable and non toxic compared to the stuff in energy cells. (Energy cells are filled with very caustic and toxic chemicals. That are also rare and expensive.) Batteries bleed their charge. Batteries decay physically.

Electric motors require lubrication. They attract dust. Cleaning and maintaining an electric motor is not like changing oil. You need caustic solvents. Yes, there are sealed motors, but you still need to maintain and clean them. They aren't maintenance free. Anyone who has ever rebuilt and cleaned up a box fan knows it's worse than changing oil in a car.

Then there's the speed controller. Fragile, not repairable, and inefficient. You know what a heat sink is, right? A heat sink is the huge metal fin set that's there to dissipate heat from the resistors. All this stuff fragile, inefficient and not repairable.

The summary is this: electric cars are more complicated than internal combustion. Electric cars are more fragile. They have all the basic parts of real cars, plus a bunch of additional parts.

Additionally, electric cars require greater infrastructure to operate. Thus more fragility.

The core of the vehicle, the bare bones version of an electric car is significantly more complicated than a bare bones real car. That you would argue this indicates either a level of dishonesty or ignorance that cannot be reasoned with.

You appear to be as confused about calendar years as you are about physics and electric motors. I'll let you figure out how old boomers are whenever your skills reach the point that such learning becomes possible.

hen there's the speed controller. Fragile, not repairable, and inefficient. You know what a heat sink is, right? A heat sink is the huge metal fin set that's there to dissipate heat from the resistors. All this stuff fragile, inefficient and not repairable.

And yet, somehow they're still less expensive to purchase and operate. Strange how something more prone to repairs has lower maintenance costs, and something more inefficient has less operating costs. It's almost like they defy the laws of supply and demand. Miracle engines they are, I guess.

They have all the basic parts of real cars, plus a bunch of additional parts.

LOL. I can't tell you how many times I've had to rebuild the heads on my electric motors. Those Tesla lifter rods suck. If you think those suck you should see how hard it is to replace the thrust bearings on a Chevy Bolt's crankshaft. It's like, "why did I even go electric when they have all the same parts?"
