Washington Post Buries Inconvenient Facts of EV Trip to South Pole

extreme left washington post As excited as I am about electric vehicles (EVs) traveling 20,000 miles from the North Pole to the South Pole, I'm equally excited to erase the inconvenient facts about it. ridiculously stupid A legendary journey.

“They drove an electric car from the North Pole to the South Pole.” scream An exciting headline from one of the most dishonest publications on the planet.

“Scottish adventurers Chris and Julie Ramsay wanted to prove that an electric SUV could be just as rugged and reliable as a conventional car. To that end, they decided to take it for a drive. I made it.” post I will report.

“Its activity began in March in the frozen waters of the Arctic Circle, near the North Pole. It ended about nine months later, and about 20,000 miles later, in December in the South Pole, South Pole.”

“The couple…hoped their accomplishment would be an inspiration to other adventurers and consumers considering electric vehicles.” post I would add. “It can fail at any time, for whatever reason. You just don't know if you'll succeed,” Julie Ramsey said. post. “This just proves that EVs can travel long distances.”

Yes, these amazing EVs certainly have potential, even though we're currently a far cry from the frigid cold of Chicago. go far. Who wouldn't want to buy a battery-powered car that would allow him to travel 20,000 miles in nine months? After all, such a miraculous Akam—wait. According to my public school calculations, my average daily mileage is only 80 miles.

Considering the harsh environment, 80 miles per day may be impressive.

Or maybe not…

Continuing south through Calgary, Alberta, and Vancouver, British Columbia, before entering Washington state, the couple said they faced another challenge: unreliable charging stations. The Ramseys praised the scale and coverage of the U.S. electric vehicle charging network, but said they often encountered defunct charging stations across the country.

Maybe I'm too cynical. Maybe driving an average of 80 miles a day is the way to enjoy your trip without rushing.

Or maybe not… “The Ramsays stopped for some sightseeing, but spent most of their time on the road, nervously watching their speed and battery life to avoid getting stranded. Ta.”

See, at least it was done without any special processing, right?

Or maybe not…

Prior to their trip, the couple partnered with energy company Enel I discovered that there is a gap.[.]

But let's not play with the details here. The only important thing is that no fossil fuels were burned during this trip.

Or maybe not…” Due to their remote location, the Ramsey family was unable to avoid fossil fuels completely and used a gas generator to charge their vehicle.[.]”

Do you see how stupid this is?of post They want us to believe that this is like Charles Lindbergh's historic non-stop flight from New York to Paris. it's not. What Lindbergh accomplished was to make his travels better, faster, and more convenient than before, when the only way to cross the Atlantic Ocean was by slow ocean voyage.

EVs do not improve locomotion. EVs are a step backwards in terms of convenience, stress levels, and speed. Driving an EV from the North Pole to the South Pole is like Lindbergh paddling a canoe across the Atlantic. Great job, Lindy, but I believe in progress.

It's like a stupid high-speed train. You can travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco in two hours. That's not progress. Now you can do it on a plane without spending $1 trillion in tax dollars.

An EV that you can unplug at home, commute to work every day, and power back up at home…it makes sense for people who live in warmer climates. EVs, whatever they are, are just stress, breakdowns, and inconveniences.

Perhaps one day EVs will become more practical, but still, why? Electricity generated by fossil fuels powers the EV's battery. Can someone please explain to me the benefits of each Prius other than the smuggled feel?

We will give you a free signed book tag. purchase John Nolte's debut novel borrowed time (Bombardier Books).

That I read less and less books these days because all pop culture (books, movies, music) has degenerated into simple “content” that tries to beat you over the head with messages. I noticed that. By the way, I found it… borrowed time Making complex characters and messy (authentic) worlds feel fresh and fun. I also have to admire your idea of ​​what heaven is like. There are too many writers who have commonplace visions of heaven, but I think both versions of heaven you've come up with (Doreen's version as a campsite with Arthur's family, and Mason's version with Doreen and Hockey) I found it to be true to the characters.
