EVs have a long way to go, but this is clickbait garbage. NOBODY is using a 120v outlet to charge their car unless its an emergency and they just need to eek out a few miles to get to a proper outlet.

120v outlets max out at around 15 amps. That's 1.8kW.

The Hummer has a 200kWh battery. 200 / 1.8 = 4.6 days to charge.

Anyone buying an EV is gonna have a dedicated 240v circuit installed to handle the charger. Those are 30A or more. 240v x 30A is 7.2kW, or 27.7 hours. Both of these estimates assume the battery is completely drained (which will likely never happen).

If they have a 60A circuit put in, that's just over 13 hours from empty to full, which is easily done overnight. And let's face it, if someone is wasting money on a Hummer EV, they can afford to install a 60A charger.

There are tons of reasons to dislike electrics, but this is garbage writing. It's designed specifically for the "I hate EVs because the evil communist liberal nazis like them" boomercon crowd, to make them look retarded.

And you're falling for it.

If you want a good reason to ridicule this piece of shit, how about the fact it has a 200kWh battery, but is so fucking massive it still only goes 350 miles in ideal conditions?

This guy fucks with electricity.

Nah, I just know the math. Anything over a couple amps scares me, lol.

[ - ] PotatoWhisperer2 1 point 1.3 yearsJan 19, 2023 00:50:25 ago (+1/-0)

As it should. Anything over 0.2 amps across the heart will kill you.

Faster to walk the 300 mile range.

And you'll look less gay doing it, too!

It used to be the hardest thing on a new vehicle was the stereo. Now you need to have a degree in battery maintainance and voltages. Fuck all that crap. I'll stick with what I have.

Electric trucks have their problems but stupid articles like this are just designed to work up the mentali invalids. Nobody that buys this truck is going to try to operate using. 120v power cord

Electric cars are such a joke.

Electric cars are cool, because they go fast and whatnot. But they are definitely not a solution to carbon emissions. They want you dead. That's the solution to carbon emissions.

They'll say it rarely needs maintenance coz not in the garage often, it's oh so reliable.

US residential is 240v from the pole, but it's split-phase from the panel to the rest of the house. Only high-draw devices get a 240v breaker, such as HVAC (mine has two 240v breakers for the air handler/heater, and another 240v breaker for the compressor/heat pump), electric ranges, and dryers.

Yeah that’s most of the circuits. Ranges sometime and ac units sometimes, electric clothes dryer will have 220

I'd probably rub one out by then.

It takes you an entire week to orgasm? You might need to see a doctor.
