https://twitter.com/teslamodel3fan/status/1086604586000023553 not a big deal for daily users, really, but road trips are now more expensive and you still can't take weird side trips for the hell of it because you're stuck to the highways where superchargers exist.

Endless Mike posted:https://twitter.com/teslamodel3fan/status/1086604586000023553 That's a big deal for all users, because one of the most common things you hear from EV users is the consumable costs (battery charge vs gas) being less than gas cars. If it costs more per mile than a 30 mpg car, which a significant amount of cars meet today, then that major edge is lost. Soricidus posted:the purpose of electric cars is to reduce pollution from city driving. regular charging is expected to be overnight from your domestic power. anyone who buys an electric car expecting it to be cost- or time-effective for long distance journeys is deluded. Arguably yes for the first, point taken on the 2nd and 3rd (and you don't really hear many people talking about long distance trips in their EVs, but I digress). The thing is California has come out and said that no, EVs won't reduce pollution in an applicable manner, carpooling will. iospace fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Jan 19, 2019 |

EVs global pollution and co2 footprint is bound to the local power mix (if you leave out the production branch) it's pretty easy for an EV to run cleaner Re: hydrocarbons and monoxides than certain ICEs, if your power plants are regenerative or nuclear and have state of the art exhaust treatment if they run a combustion cycle. NOx is a different matter. You can only reliably get rid of NOx if you run a stochiometric homogenous mixture and a 3 way catalyst, which is absolutely limited to the petrol Otto engines. Diesels, stratisfied Ottos, gas turbines, combustion cycle power plants etc are all emitting NOx that can't be easily reduced to N2 just with the exhaust components. That's why you run expensive SCR equipment if you wanna have a clean exhaust from those (NOx accumulator cats are gimmicks) Far more important than global emissions impact is the local emissions situation for EVs because people are friggin suffocating in metropolitan regions. I remember a saying from my classes on emissions that went like "a 1 hour run through London will leave you with a similar amount of lung bound toxins and carcinogens as half a pack of smokes" When the EU started enforcing an air pollution measurement and limitation policy, city councils were on fuckin fire when the detailed local values started coming in and things have been on fire ever since, so much we did not only enforce environmental zones that ban all pre euro4 diesels and pre cat Ottos from city centers, but also to the point where we are considering banning all diesel vehicles outright. That's why everyone and their mother in local government is pushing for EV production plans. I didn't read into what California issued regarding the "evs ain't better" statement, but there's one factor where local emissions can occur in a similar fashion and that's particles. We have gotten really good at stopping particle emissions (the white napkin test from the vee dub old lady commercial is actually legit, even though it's message is bollocks). To the point where the majority of automotive particle emissions comes from other sources like disc brakes, tire wear and the like. Funny enough trains (specially trams) produce ludicrous amounts of particles too since metal on metal is very nasty when it comes to friction.

At least the EVs are still more expensive that the ICEs, you can make up the difference there. Just don’t overthink this to the point where you realize this is complete bullshit.

Funny enough trains (specially trams) produce ludicrous amounts of particles too since metal on metal is very nasty when it comes to friction. the basic idea is that even if everyone drove an electric vehicle, and california was at 75% of power generation being carbon neutral, they would still need a significant reduction in vehicle miles travelled (like 20%) in order to meet greenhouse gas emission goals. I searched through a bunch of the CARB (california air resources board) reports, but I haven't figured out exactly how much of an impact reducing driving is. this reporter does a bunch of work on transportation in california, and their graph in the article shows that california is majorly loving up: https://cal.streetsblog.org/2018/11/26/report-california-efforts-to-reduce-transportation-emissions-are-not-working/ since everyone just drives more the greenhouse gas emissions are increasing in the transportation sector, even though there's a bunch of electric vehicles and more efficient cars.

If you take comfort in scientific cluelessness then be reliefed that we really have little understanding of the mechanics of Particle emissions and most of the stuff that we do count as "nasty particles" is coarse enough to be stopped by excessive nose hair and flamboyent mustaches.

there was a recent spat within the local transit authority here when it came to light that there were "serious concerns" about the air quality in our subway tunnels. we've had the subway for 60 years and somehow it wasn't until 2018 that someone realized all the grey poo poo coating the tunnel walls meant it had at some point been in the air, and yes it was probably carcinogenic as gently caress since it's brake dust and poo poo off the wheels

it's that, but then someone in the ATU decided that the fact that you could literally see the air in the tunnels during humid summer days meant maybe there might be some concerns
