Electric vehicle fuel

[Surfdog]

More realizations of people spending $90k + on a "more juiced up" EV truck only to find out they can only haul their RV for 100 miles a charge. That's less than 2 hours on the freeway a day.

EV's are cool, but like most battery powered machines, extended constant usage under more than typical conditions, they burn thru charge quick. Like 50% less than typical.

I'll wait until the EV's can haul more than the huge weight of the battery for an extended range.

2 hours a day? How long do you think it takes to charge an ev lol?

How long does it take to charge a large EV truck battery FULL on a typical roadside charger? 1 hour, 2 hours? Maybe more?

How many times do you stop to charge while trying to go 200-300 miles in a day that you normally can do with a ICE truck in 4-6 hours (easily) at that range on freeway drives?

You basically add 2-4 hours to the same trip with EV truck hauling a RV.

got it. Just seeing 2 rollers instead of 3 or 4. Non-newtonian?

it’s been awhile but remember there’s a few ph precipitation steps and didn’t know if stainless would cut it for product contact

I’m used to <60-80cP and <50 psi. Aqueous l, high value biologics. fully disposable. No cip/sip.

10-4.
You're using more of a lab style pump feeding a mass spec or some other instrument or process.
These are very different and made for industrial and municipal applications. The slurry being pumped is in this instance is considered newtonian as the viscosity doesn't change during the process. One of their slurries is 4,500 cP and the other is 6,500 cP. Hence the need for the retractable roller.
We specialize in pumping high viscosity non-newtonian fluids, foams and high solids laden sludges and slurries. On the smaller sied we do a lot of chem-feed/dosing of water/wastewater treatment chemicals. Especially those that off-gas like sodium hypochlorite, etc....

30-45 minutes.

and yes, they’re not good for towing yet. That’s not in dispute. Most people with F150s don’t tow anyway.

Then Ford probably shouldn't be using this and other similar images in their advertising.

Hearing more than a few people reporting online that paid $90-96k to haul an RV, boat or trailer not very pleased with the results.

$90-96k to haul an RV

Fools are easily separated from their money.

Oh a meme. Well, we don't need any evidence I guess.

I have a photo of environmental damage that drilling for oil creates. So my photo beats your meme, no data necessary.

The problem with your picture numb nuts is that you mistakenly believe EVs are magically zero emission and zero environmental impact

Uh no, that's what you want to believe I believe. AKA strawman

Not one person said EV's have zero environmental impact.

Not.

One.

Single.

Person.

Zero emissions? That's accurate.

Many times less environmental impact than drilling and burning oil? Yes.

But your meme is better than facts. Looser.

electric vehicles are not there yet for me

but Aptera might change that...



maybe i *wont* end up in a van by the river after all!

So 10x longer than it takes to fill up a tank of gas. And every 200 miles

Good for a commuter car

Windmills have killed more birds than all oil spills combined the last 20 years.

So it's just about birds.

Birds = environment

batteries will never get better.
range will never get better.
charging infrastructure will never get better.

oh well...may as well just give up now...

Not a leach field, Those are evaporation ponds. Salt is mined the same way all over the world..... Equally as bad (maybe worse) and doesn't seem to get any attention is the ongoing deforestation taking place to construct PV solar fields.

Nice meme.

Here’s what oil sands look like

overnight and for 1/6 the price. Why do you leave that out?

Not for everyone yet, but the average person drives 40 miles a day.

saracsm noted and appreciated, but we really do need more flintstones and less jetsons in our lives, or at least a better balance

bicycles (not electric) are a great example IMHO



ps - welcome back!

his narratives are fragile and fall apart easily under scrutiny. e.g. he thinks Homer Simpson actually lives in Martha's Vineyard.

re: this thread....has anyone here ever actually bought a vehicle with environmental impact in mind? not me - when i bought my hybrid in 2015, all i was thinking about was better gas mileage. with the current car buying climate, i'll hang on to it as long as i can.
