EVs will charge themselves in the future

or they will not help reduce

carbon fuel powered grids...


EVs will only need one battery

or 2 to start them and begin

putting them in motion...


Alternator systems running via

belt driven off the front and

rear axle will start powering

vehicles when they are put in

motion...

A small amount of power used

to start the EV and start it

in motion will be recharged by

the same alternator system that

will power the car...


It is so simple but will not

cost untold billions...


So wait for the real EV evolution

to be sincerely needed from the

decline of fossil fuels...


And save your money...


So we watch...LJ

EVs - great writeup, Jwb, and it's why i've got a big position in FIII / ELMS, which, once the merger is completed in the next few weeks, will start rolling off the first few thousand Class 1 commercial vans this Fall at the former Hummer plant in Indiana (over 45k have been pre-ordered).

At the outset, with the $7.5k fed rebates, the vehicles will cost the same as the same-class Ford and Dodge ICEngine vans but TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) will be much less each year going forward due to no gasoline fuel, and far simpler maintenance for an EV powertrain.

Oh, and these ELMS delivery vans have approx. 25% more cargo space than the Ford and Dodge vans. And far more up-to-date digital connectivity. And customization for different uses (e.g., from Amazon deliveries to florists to cable/satellite install cos., to plumbers, etc.) is done much faster than with the Ford and Dodge vehicles.

After the attack on SPACs, and SEC hobbling them with new accounting rules for warrants, FIII and other EV SPACS have seen their stock prices massively depressed (FIII has been around $9.90 - $10 since early March), but i'm looking for ELMS (the ticker after the merger) to be a $50 stock by sometime next year as they quickly ramp up.

trivial pursuit, try selling used EVs to

folks that already dumped theirs...

Misleading about Charging Times

by new auto dealers will likely

get a future disclosure of energy

use and charging time form for

new EV auto buyers to sign...


So we watch...LJ

Then you need a ~$180 dollar charging station, which is smaller than a lunchbox.

Any manufacturers of these 'lunchboxes' trade public stocks that you know of?

Nice writeup as I just ordered the Mustang Mach E and consider myself a total novice to EV's. Thanks

EV charging : won’t gas prices go down if more and more people choose electric cars. And won’t that drive up the cost of electricity.

I feel like long term hybrids will be the most cost effective play and you get the low maintenance with 55 mpg
