Motor Trend ran a story, “What Happens When a Rivian EV Runs Out of Battery Charge?” Well, anyone with a laptop or cellphone knows what happens. You are SOL for a long time, buddy.
But the story inadvertently pointed out another problem with electric cars is the lack of infrastructure to care for them. But just add that defect to the pile of problems for these vehicles.
The unworldly press and the deceitful deep state keep pushing the battery-operated car — which they call electric vehicles — on an increasingly wary public. But there is hope the propaganda falls on deaf ears because “experts say” has become a red flag that what you are about to hear or read belongs on the manure heap.
The first falsehood is that they are EVs — electric vehicles. Not so because they are not directly linked to a power plant. They run on big and expensive batteries that have to be recharged. If they were EVs, they would run without being recharged, like your refrigerator.
This distinction means that instead of running directly from a power source, the car is wastes energy on transferring the energy from the power plant to the battery and then from the battery to the motor.
But of more importance, the battery-operated car is dependent upon recharging stations that are haphazardly arrayed within a nation larger than 3 million square miles. On top of that, motorists must invest hours of time while their vehicle recharges — time that gas-powered cars do not require.
