[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just the EV equivalent of a gas-guzzling SUV.

It requires a much electricity to charge its batteries as would be needed by 4 Tesla’s or a dozen Nissan Leaf’s.

All that electricity going into ONE vehicle is electricity that can’t be used in other things - meaning that even more carbon must be put into the air to make more electricity for the other things that need it (70% of our electricity comes from fossil fuel).

There is absolutely NOTHING green about vehicles like this. [/quote]

Is this true or did you just make it up?

The top of the line Lucid EV will have a 113kWh battery pack. There are not any 30kWh battery pack Teslas remaining on the road. I am not as familiar with the Leaf specs, but if I were to guess I would believe that the Leaf capacities must be around 60kWh by now, so about half of the Lucid's.

I am all about being clear about environmental arguments if you are making a green argument with EV's but you have to base your argument in reality and not just make up sound bite data which you treat as fact.

Lucid seems like an interesting vehicle. I am all about competition in this field. Whatever spurs Tesla and the Legacy manufacturers to evolve is great. The market can handle another player.[/quote]

Electricity isn’t just about storage capacity- it’s about the amount of watt/hr per unit of work done. There is no massaging the numbers to try and make this thing look anything but what it is. A wasteful, massively inefficient toy for rich people. [/quote]

Wow, you are in over your head talking about things you have no idea about. No problem, that is what DCUM is all about, but people should know that your data and math is completely inaccurate.

I am not a big believer in EV are clean, I drive one because it is simply a better car than any ICE, but your statements in this thread are baseless.[/quote]
