Electric car chargepoint operator Osprey ups rates to record £1 per kWh making it pricier than fuelling a petrol model

Is there any way to pay cash at these charging stations?

Where's the office, convenience store, etc?

Do they tolerate people sitting in the car smoking during the charge?

What about sleeping in the car during the recharge?

Who could have seen this coming?
A lot of you are too young to remember but back in the first gas crunch a lot of people started to figure out that that it was becoming cheaper to own a diesel powered car and made the switch.
Can you guess what happened boyz and grilz?
I knew you could.

At one pound coin per minute, stand there as pour the coins in. one hour later...

Serves them right.

Virtue signalling muppets are all gonna be dead in another year anyway as most electric car drivers will be whackcinated so why not squeeze a few moar bob out of 'em first?

One of my uncles had a dual fuel car in the 70s, propane tank in the trunk.

He was an award winning architect, so he also had solar water heating panels on the roof of their house.

It always was more expensive. Only gross market manipulations and subsidies ever made it look cheaper.

Well if we have to. I don't want to. But I've got a jump on this. 1 of mine pulls already and starting another. These things take time.
Always remember: the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.

Those of the letter J began WW1 they designed the League of Nations and when that didn't gain traction they began WW2 which ushered in the United Nations as a control tool. The J want a UN building code among other things dark and destructive against the g0 y. They want to get rid of all wood, coal, pellet, K-1, home heaters and force 100% electric because they can control the flow of electricity (spice).

The "soon" idea is to gain 100% control of electricity, money using their digital currency, and more. They can cut you off from heating and cooling via electricity, cut you off from your money using digital which they can stop or take at any time. Even if you drop to your knees and pleasure the J machine they will crush many of you just because that's how the Marxists do it. They don't give a dam about the non J .

It's just a gimmick for the well to do yuppies who think that they are smart because of a college degree.

It would take decades, better technology, upgraded power grids to actually make it worthwhile to push electric cars.

That's the best case scenario.

Imagine they control your comfort, travel (No charging of EVs due to an electrical shortage of any length(by design of course), and more!

Sweet.
If he got vaxxed, I want is his stuff.

The good news is that soon you will not have to travel very far for your cricket meal. Eat ze bugs AND save ze planet. Perfect for this species of retards today.

If you buy an EV without a home charger you're a moron and deserve whatever you get.

I charge my EV at home, got a full "tank" every morning without ever having to do anything but take 10 seconds to plug it in, and I get the equivalent of 150 mpg in car that will do 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. Greatest car ever made.

This VV

What we are seeing are damaging energy policies being dictated by mentally ill.

Even if there was energy infrastructure in place to support
mass charging of EVs which there isn't.

The Vehicles are basically a load of shit.

Ideal for a Granny who goes to the local Shop or Doctors every few days.

Ranges are dependent on many factors including temperature and weather conditions.

The Batteries life span is not great.Some lose 15% capacity per year. Meaning in 3 years the batteries are literally 50% of what they were.

How the fuck you going to get back what you pay for a new premium EV Vesicle.

I trade in my ICE Audi every 3 years meaning i can literally afford to drive a new car every 3 years because of the good resale value.

I buy a premium EV and wait 3 years to resell or trade in i am going to get hammered financially for the gimmick.

Makes no financial sense to invest in a premium model EV unless you have money to burn,literally.

Then there is the other side of EV their affect on the environment. Meaning hundreds of thousand of tons of green belt land has to be mined for rare earth metals for every vehicle.

The whole idea is to protect the environment,seemingly by destroying it first.

Every new ICE engine is literally made from already mined Metals recycled perennially.

Wind Turbines the Blades have to be changed every few years.The Blades are that toxic they can not be recycled but go in to land fill.

It is all a scam to make billions for a minority who wont be seen dead in an EV or eat Ze Bugs.

e-tards

Lol you're delusional. Tesla's have better resale value than any piece of crap Audi and lose about 2% battery per year lmao 15% you're just making shit up. EVs have an 8 year battery warranty if they lost 15% a year I'd be getting a new free battery every 2 years.

I am not making shit up at all.

You are using one specific brand of Ev, which is a premium EV to try and undermine the whole argument.

The EV market is saturated with shit vehicles,many with dangerous/sub standard batteries.

The average person wont be spunking 50- 60 Grand on a Tesla you fool.

They will be buying the cheaper variants made in China etc.

We get it you drink Soy Milk and drive around in a Tesla thinking you are cool.

I drive an Audi because i prefer German engineering to cheap dangerous shit.US/UK made vehicles.

I personally know people who have had battery problems within months of buying an EV.

Sure it will come under warranty,still it is disconcerting.

Agree..why buy one without a home to charge it? Lame

Anyone with a brain knew that was coming...just a matter of time.

Get people to get rid of their petrol cars, with gimmicks and false promises, and then boost electricity costs through the roof and HIGHLY regulated (your social credit score will determine how much electricity you can use each month).

In most areas of the US, one electricity provider serves a given geographical area, unlike the dozens/hundreds of corporate and independently owned petrol stations.

It's MUCH easier to regulate electricity, and who is allowed to have how much, versus trying to regulate petrol stations.

Too bad that in 3 years you will need to replace the batteries
and the cost would be a hell of a lot more than the savings you think made!!!!!!!!

Teslas have a good resale value mostly because there is such a long wait (3 months - 6+ months) to get one, and with less than 1% of the population wanting an EV, it's a very niche market which is why they can charge exorbitant prices to begin with and why people selling used ones can charge high prices.

Right now a Tesla Model X would have a estimated resale value of 47% of it's original purchase price after 5 years.

Tesla Model X new price: $123,000+
Tesla Model X 5 years old resale value: $57,000
Net loss over 5 years: $66,000
Net loss per year: $13,200

If you're not spending > $13,200 per year in gasoline, you're losing money.

I'll use one of my cars as a counter-example:

Mazda CX-5 new price (2018): $27500
Mazda CX-5 x 4 years old resale value: $22,500 (what the dealer is offering me)
Net loss over 4 years: $5,000
Net loss per year: $1,250.00

This is a simple price comparison/value retained comparison.
It doesn't factor in electric grid overload issues and numerous other issues that affect EVs.

Only a fucking moran couldnt see this coming

And its just the start

Because the more people that need to charge electric cars, the more they will charge you for doing it

Of course, im sure electric car owners wont mind it costing more than their old gas vehicles since theyre saving the planet and ukraine and fetuses

Seen these popping up all over the country. there’s no way the operator can make the money back before it’s outdated.

And that Tesla will do 0 to 2000F. in almost the same time.

Tesla is one of the shittiest cars i've ever driven.. total dog shit. Only reason people say they like them is because they don't want to admit they've been duped for a total piece of shit.

They should put vaxx booster stations and mask dispensaries next to the chargers. A one stop shopping experience for the modern retard.
