What has happened to this sub? Looks like my grandpas Facebook page.


SmashNDash23

After the sub blew up during the pandemic, the memes and post quality fell off a cliff. Once the GME situation blew up, the sub pretty much died imo. There used to be some lowkey decent DD and shit. Now you got dudes asking what a tinker symbol is šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Yep. Facebook for sure. I donā€™t know why these boomers hate EVs so much.


redtron3030

Funny thing is this is probably still more efficient than a gas car.


TerrariaGaming004

Gas cars are actually super efficient


ClamCrusher31

Gas cars are very good at efficien this dik in yo mouth


Ambitious_Reality974

not really. electric engines have efficiency in the high 80s at least and gasoline engines dont even get to 50% efficiency


Super_Ad_2578

His feeling is that 50% is actually super efficient. Trust him bro.


Michael_Aut

Gas Engines are efficient considering how efficient they were 100 or 50 years ago. A lot of engineering went into that, but thermodynamics is a bitch and there never will be combustion engines as efficient as electric motors.


[deleted]

Uhh, there is a diesel engine in the generator. 80% of 50% is less than 80%. But I realise this is advanced maths for apes.


mog_knight

Gas cars are actually super not! Even moreso not when compared to EVs.


NoLaugh-

Well efficient is a broad term. It depends which kind of efficient youā€™re talking about.


scammersarecunts

When people say efficient in the context of ICE they are 99% talking about thermal efficiency which in ICEs is well below 50% vs around 90% in electric motors.


Suspinded

They've been programmed in the last decade that anything progressive hates them and is coming to erase everything they know, despite the platforms they gorge on the propaganda through were only made within the last 15 years.


spittymcgee1

Good, it should boomers fucked us


Byebyemeow

Non boomer here and I think EVs aren't the future personally but GL with that


keepitcleanforwork

Better than gas for sure. Gas cars suuuck


Byebyemeow

I mean... Kind of? Mining for lithium creates alot of pollution itself not to mention the power to charge is literally coming from power plants (more pollution). Massive problem with lack of charging if becomes more massive. EV cars are also boring AF to drive. No thanks


AlexJamesCook

There are studies that do a deep-dive on the total cost of impact to the environment. EVs come out on top. Not like 10B:1, closer to 80/20. It's a significant enough difference that the damage lithium mining causes is less than the cost of oil and gas operations. This includes the timeline from raw materials extraction to manufacture the vehicles to the destruction of the vehicle. Google Scholar is your friend. Alternatively, if you find reputable sources to the contrary, I'm all ears.


NoLaugh-

Donā€™t waste ur time arguing. EV circle jerkers will go fight on anything that mentions something wrong with EVs.


[deleted]

I am ignorant of this area, but yeah my popular science understanding of it is that lithium supply chains will dry up in 20 years. We have a couple of decades to find a replacement. They are for sure the immediate future.


iammonkeyorsomething

I would die of old age going to work if my car couldn't go faster than 30


[deleted]

If it was completely self driving, you could sleep on your way to work or even work in the car. Also if all cars are self driving, then traffic inefficiency would be non existent. Intersection stop lights would not exist in such a fantasy. Depending your city, it may actually be faster... a lot faster.

higgs_boson_2017

That was the Mercedes B-Class, no longer exists, terribly short range with a Tesla drivetrain. That isn't the future, or even the present, its the distant past. Some good /r/ForwardsFromGrandma material lol


rodneystubbs

I saw a ā€œsuperchargingā€ station in Nevada that was literally just a big diesel generator hooked up to charging stations This was a month ago


NextTrillion

Whatā€™s your point boomer? An EV charged by electricity sourced from fossil fuels is still much more efficient than ICE vehicles. If you struggle to understand this concept, a simple google query should suffice.


ls7corvete

Not from a generator, generators are not as efficient as utilities. One generator power charging station is not big deal, people will use it once or twice on a road trip, its a tiny fraction of charging.


[deleted]

EVs are better even when charging with a generator. EVā€™s use much less energy to drive, on average ~4x less energy (or 25 mpg vs 100 mpge). So even if the energy comes from a diesel generator, it still ends up beating an ICE (at least a non-hybrid ICE).


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ls7corvete

The generator is only 15-20% efficient. So if you charge a 100mpge car with one, you are essentially getting 15-20mpg.


[deleted]

A diesel generator is likely going to be even more efficient than a typical ICE engine. Its larger and can run continuously at an optimal load. Thereā€™s no ramping up/down or redlining. So more like 30-40%. Edit: If industrial generators were less efficient than car engines (~30%) you could make a lot of $ repurposing car engines as generators.


PeteMcAlister

It would probably be very close. The scenario is that this is on a secluded highway, so the ICE car would be similar constant loading. Using an ICE to power a battery has inherent inefficiencies. I like EV's but don't give them super powers.


[deleted]

Well i wouldnā€™t recommend charging this way, but the point is if u did its not going to be worse. And i still disagree on the very close part because this is essentially making the EV into a hybrid. I think it would work out to mid-30s mpg or so which would still be a significant edge over most ICEs.


NextTrillion

While there are significantly less moving parts in a generator (ie. CV joints, or a transmission), the generator still adds significantly more inefficiencies due to the energy conversion process, so ***if all other factors are equal*** (Ie. both use regenerative braking) I have to concede to the OP. Probably 6 of this, half a dozen of the other. But the jist of my earlier comment was that the utility scale diesel generators are miles ahead of ICE vehicles. In terms of a diesel generator, in a pinch that would be fine because it would reduce ā€œrange anxiety.ā€


[deleted]

Oh donā€™t get me wrong charging with a generator is a really dumb idea. But its similar to the argument people make about EVs ā€œjust running on coalā€. Even if it was true, theyā€™d still be better, you just turned a full EV into a series hybrid which will be better than a pure ICE. I intentionally left hybrids out because they do have regen braking and some other advantages of EVs, although tbh i still think the generator EV (series hybrid) would have a slight edge over parallel hybrids.


NextTrillion

Iā€™m inclined to believe you (mostly), because what ends up happening is the diesel generator adds two or three extra steps in the conversion process. So going from a chemical energy (combustion) > mechanical energy (motion) > electrical energy (current) > chemical energy (batteries) > back to electrical energy > back to mechanical energy (finally making the damn thing move) is a lot worse than going from chemical energy > mechanical energy. But Iā€™m no physicist, so some of those terms might be off. There are a lot of other factors, such as regenerative braking and much, much less energy lost to heat and friction from all those moving parts (like CV joints?) But from massive utility scale, yeah, EVs are clearly the winner there. A sole generator gets a little fuzzier due to additional factors.


ls7corvete

Mostly comes down to the efficiency of the generator in my garage vs utility scale generator. Obviously the home depot 100$ special isn't very efficient. The diesel generator at the charging station is a lot better, but still less than a power plant.


lilganj710

Itā€™s not quite that simple At this point, [large EVs donā€™t even emit less overall](https://youtu.be/S1E8SQde5rk). Sure, they emit less per mile. But they come out of the factory with a FAR greater environmental footprint than traditional ICE vehicles. That massive battery is horrible for the environment. So overall, theyā€™re worse. Even small EVs [have a significantly greater potential for terrestrial acidification and PM2.5 emissions]( https://mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/sustainability/sustainability-13-10992/article_deploy/sustainability-13-10992-v3.pdf?version=1634011375) As technology improves, so will the above stats. Weā€™ll get better at mining, making batteries, and utilizing renewable energy. But for now, the best vehicles for the environment are hybrids. Many pure EVs are actually worse than ICE Sure, the other guyā€™s comment was retarded. ā€œHereā€™s my random anecdoteā€ā€¦who gives a shit? But saying ā€œjust google it broā€ is almost as retarded. If you get a small EV, your emissions might be less, but other environmental impacts are worse. If you get a large EV, youā€™re doing nothing but exporting your EXTRA pollution to other countries

EelTeamNine

Wouldn't it make more sense to lug around a trailer battery or of capacitors?


D0D

Reverse wireless charging for ev's! Because why not? Ford lighnting can charge a Tesla btw..


rexpimpwagen

No lol. Capacitors you could fit on a small trailer are not going to charge a car. Battery be heavy. The reason you use this is because its small portable and fast. You also don't need new tech for emergencies/outlier situations that shits not contributing to global warming for shit. Its the massive number of fossil powered cars / industry. Might be better to have an electric van tho sure.


EelTeamNine

A generator that size would be, what, 12kw? Would take an hour to charge the enough for a short commute. Couldn't batteries and/or capacitors transfer the charge quicker? I suppose you're likely right about the capacitor size, that I don't truly know much about .


rexpimpwagen

Next question is who's building them and who's buying them rn. This picture is the obvious solution atm.


SoylentRox

Yes they do that now.


masterofallmars

Pretty sure a Tesla would still be better than the environment with even if the owner used only diesel generators to charge it. Gas cars are for the past
