Welp, guess we found the "plant guys posting in an EV thread" thread...
Tesla's taking over, baws. Guess y'all better find a lithium plant to transition into.

Already here, baw.
Louisville has way more in common with the Midwest than the South, imo.

- carbon footprint of all the new materials needed to upgrade the power grid
This is my biggest concern. Many cities across our country are already operating on antiquated and deteriorating electrical grids. Large scale improvements will have to be made. We all know who will pay for that.

25% is a huge number when you are talking about total consumption.
Not that bad over a 20-30 year timeframe.
That 25% would almost certainly fall as well as battery tech and EVs continue to develop.

Have you read up on how these wind farms just slaughter birds?

How much land do you think we have to cover with solar panels to make a dent in demand?

A multi-acre farm barely generates enough electricity for one Walmart.

Its actually easier. Silent running cars and fat liberals make for a deadly combo.

I do see the humor in EV plants using gasoline powered equipment and material made/delivered by gas powered equipment to build a product intended to be better for the environment.

Your takes are pretty shitty and devoid of logic.
I don’t have a problem with electric vehicles, it’s the pretending I love the environment bullshite.
I’m going to own an electric vehicle that still ruins the environment and continue to fly everywhere that still ruins the environment.
So go ahead a push EV. Just stop with the bullshite.

If youre worried about that, Ive got bad news about the increasing CO2 concentrations in the air.

it should be a free market across the board, no government overreach period.
The government has already injected itself deeply in the market. This market in particular. Central planning always has holes that will be exposed, and is terribly nearsighted.

This is an intuitive position but it is likely nowhere near as dire as our intuition suggests. There was a YTer (the one that got a Mach E) that did a numbers based break down if everyone converted to EVs tomorrow.
The production side especially if the primary charging occurred at home in off peak hours wasn't daunting at all. The distribution side was where the problem was bigger. That being said if you socially engineer with discounts etc the charging times during the off peak hours it really was a very approachable issue as well. These are especially true when you consider the EV uptake will be over a couple of decades at best.
Just little things like using connected chargers and possibly smart grids could shift charging around to be every efficient. Have solid discounts from 7pm-1am for even numbered houses and shift to discounts or odd numbered houses from 1am to 7am. These are things that are easy to do in the connected age and could go a long way to smoothing demand.

Right but they didn't try to ban production of pencils and paper after the computer was invented and both of those are terrible for the environment.

TN is a right to work state. Union will fail.

I’m not necessarily arguing your point and we both agree the government has no place in what should be a free market. BUT, the government has always injected itself into the auto market with bailouts, so this doesn’t come as a surprise especially with silly climate change social initiatives the government feels they must enact and regulate.

When is Louisiana going to get an EV plant?
Or any plant that isn’t oil/gas related.

As soon as the politicians figure out how to make themselves rich from it.
