What are the actual costs to power up EVs?

Editor's note: A Russian scientist who is off the officially accepted news media reporting has said that there is enough natural gas (and oil) underneath the Arctic to power up our needs for the next several hundred years even if the population doubled. That gives us one indication that electric cars, the UN's 17 sustainable goals, climate change, climate crisis, zero emissions, protein from insects, carbon credits and more are all designed to destroy western industrial societies. That while Russia chalks up a $75 billion surplus in energy sales. Lawmakers (corporate yes men) in Canada, Australia, the EU, and the U.S. state of California have already approved the ban on gas-powered cars by 2035. The Japanese are not stupid. The largest car manufacturing company in the world Toyota, will not cooperate with the COP26 agreement and will continue manufacturing gas-powered cars. Chinese consumers will be more than happy to continue buying Toyotas.

Controversial new video: Each individual charging station uses the equivalent power of 280 homes every hour

November 14, 2023

A new, controversial video is stirring up heated debates online. The video's creator claims to have uncovered the "truth" about electric cars, claiming that each individual power station consumes the equivalent power of 280 homes every hour. That's a really bold claim, right? Is it accurate? We lay out both sides of this argument and leave it to you to draw your own conclusions.

Popular X account "Wall Street Apes" shared the controversial video and had this to say:

The Truth About Electric Cars. Each Individual Charging Station Is Using The Equivalent Power Of 280 Homes Every Hour 🚨

If All Chargers At One Station Are Being Used, The Power Being Used Is Equivalent Is 1,080 Homes Every Hour

"I think I'm just doing a quick little video here just to give people an idea of how much energy it takes to charge an electric vehicle. I'm at Electrify America. This is a 350 kilowatt station. I'm consuming roughly 137 kilowatts. It’ll fluctuate. Sometimes I can go up to the full 350. But to put this into perspective, an average home consumes 1.25 kilowatts per hour. 135 kilowatts per hour. It's like the equivalent of 106 homes on the grid, just this one station. Now, if I was gonna get the full 350 kilowatts like these can supply, that would be the equivalent of 280 homes.

Now think about all six chargers running at full capacity. That's like 1,080 homes on the grid.

Just a little food for thought. It's things people don't realize the amount of energy it takes to fast charge these batteries. It's a huge amount of electricity. And now you understand why the electric companies can’t even supply that much power to one spot. It's like think of 1600 homes and how much copper and wire that would take to supply that many houses. So yeah, it's pretty cool. Somebody else just pulled in and yeah, there goes another 280 homes on the grid as soon as he plucks in. So just a little food for thought. I do love my electric vehicle. They're awesome. They're quiet, but it's just something that people don't really think about.

Show you my dash. They're great cars. I really like them. So you forget about range and all that. I'm just talking about what it takes to fast charge one. It's it's a ridiculous amount of money. Okay. Now I'm at like a hundred. So that's like a hundred homes right there. Hundred and twenty kilowatts because one point two one kilowatts per hour is what a is what a house uses. So yeah.

They got to figure something out because to have every car in America on the grid, it's going to be… I don't even know what those numbers would be. Well, just food for thought. And I thought I'd talk about it while I'm sitting here charging, waiting. It's another thing. Got to wait here for 30 minutes. And then sometimes Electrify America.

Half of these chargers are broken. Or I think they're throttling them down because of the grid can't even handle it. So I think that's what's happening. I don't know. But like, for instance, this one here wasn't working. So oh yeah, look unavailable. You know, there you go. That's usually the case. So either you're waiting in line for somebody or half of these chargers don't even work. And I don't I'm not complaining. Maybe I sound like it. But it's it's an issue and hopefully they figure this out. And where's the electricity coming from at night? It's not solar. And I don't know. You guys can comment and blow steam, whatever you want. I just wanted to show you what it's like and give you a little concept of the amount of energy used. All right, talk to you later."
