In 2019, the national average price of wind power purchase agreements dropped to below 2 cents per kilowatt-hour, meaning that—including federal incentives such as the Production Tax Credit—new wind energy facilities provided some of the cheapest available forms of new electricity generation available at that time.

Only the smallest fraction, maybe 2%, of EVs are going to be charged at Trumpy **** holes like Walmart.
98% will be charged up overnight at home during off peak load times.

Gia Mora bought the Hyundai Ioniq 5, an EV with a 250-mile range, to reduce her need to fly.
She and her partner have traveled 18,000 miles in the electric car on multiple road trips.

Mora was surprised by how temperature affects charging times and how often she charges at Walmart.
When I decided I would fly only once every three years for environmental reasons in 2021, my main concern was how to tackle long-distance travel.
My partner and I live in Los Angeles, but my family is in Colorado, and my adventurous other half fretted over the limitations on our holidays.
We compromised last June when we traded in our hybrid SUV for the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5. With its fast-charging 350-kilowatt capacity and 250-mile range battery, the Ioniq 5 allows us to travel long distances for a third —-

Electric cars might give Walmart a good name among progressives.
I boycott only three major American corporations, Hobby Lobby, Chic Fila, and Walmart.

I own my gas car! Why would i purchase an EV for a payment of 500 a month??? I could buy a ton of gas for an extra 20 bucks a week. When the price is high. Do you see the INSANITY Skans?

EVs use only a third of the energy gasoline cars use.
Power companies will have surplus two cents a kilowatt energy to sell at night.
Even today a lot of Co Ops reduce the price at night.

Are you the biggest liar on the forum, since Margaret got arrested?

So? Having a plan doesn't mean it will happen. Remember when GM announced two years ago their plan to be all electric by 2035? Since then, their EV sales have dropped 24%. During Q2 of this year, EV sales represented 2.3% of their total units sold. Looks like the only way they will be all electric by 2035 is by destroying the company.Bruce » 11 Sep 2023, 12:49 pm » wrote: ↑ Tesla Has a Goal of 20 Million Vehicles Per YearTesla made 35,000 cars in 2014. It has ambitious plans to get to 20 million vehicles by the year-end of 2030. That is a 571 times increase in vehicle production in 17 years. That is an unreal feat if Tesla achieves that. Even at a 2 million vehicle per year run rate, if Tesla gets there this year, that is still a 57 times increase in vehicle production in 10 years.Giga Nevada was being built in 2014 and now it is fully functional. Tesla also had a 500,000 vehicle goal by 2020 and that happened with the Model 3 and Model Y. Many were skeptical that Tesla could never achieve that result - because it had never been done before. It's a 14 times increase in 6 years.Applying the same logic today, to get to 20 million vehicles by 2030, you have an 11 times increase in 7 years, with 1.8 million vehicles this year, which I think is conservative. Based on Tesla's growth in the past, I don't see any reason Tesla won't be able to make this ambitious goal. Tesla can go 25% slower and reach this 20 million vehicle per year goal.Some may say that 20 million vehicles is too many. Toyota at their peak made about 10 million. Nobody has done this and therefore, many are skeptical that Tesla can do this.You may also be interested in:The Math for How Tesla Gets To 20 Million Per YearTesla is making four vehicle types, the Model S and Model X and Model Y and Model 3 to get to the 2 million vehicles (about) that it will make this year. They have great manufacturing techniques and vertical integration that enables them to move fast.
- Tesla will build 8 more Giga factories: Each will get to 2 million vehicles per year
- The staggering economics of the Tesla semi.
- Fake Tesla's are everywhere.

Since you got those things wrong...your entire post loses credibility
Since gasoline cars that are parked during the night use zero energy, an EV that is charging is using infinitely more energy.

You missed the point...a gasoline car sitting idle is using absolutely no energy. By comparison, a re-charging EV is using energy.Bruce » 11 Sep 2023, 1:39 pm » wrote: ↑ Not infinitely more energy.

There’s always lots of wind energy available at two cents a kilowatt.

Stock price is not relevant to my post. I was posting UNIT SALES information. GM received all kinds of free pub from the left wing (and their lap dogs in the media) when they announced the "all electric by 2035" plans. EV sales for them have plummeted and currently only make up 2.3% of total unit sales. They will not meet the plan goal of all electric unless they simply stop selling ICE vehicles...putting thousands out of work, decimating the companies market cap and damaging a large number of retirements.Bruce » 11 Sep 2023, 1:45 pm » wrote: ↑ General Motors stock price stood at $33.54 today.
According to the latest long-term forecast, General Motors price will hit $35 by the middle of 2023 and then $40 by the end of 2024. General Motors will rise to $45 within the year of 2026, $60 in 2027, $65 in 2028, $70 in 2031, $75 in 2032, $80 in 2034 and $85 in 2035.

They had better get a **** of Tesla grade electric vehicles on the market.
Con, when any car is parked it’s not consuming any energy.

Don't know where you live, but around here you will pay the same rate per KwH unless you want to specify using only wind generated power...then you pay 3/4 of a cent MORE.
