Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Fucking idiots completely ignore the fact that our power infrastructure absolutely cannot support the electric car only dream these morons have up here Electric infrastructure in Washington is probably the best in the country. Decades of not trimming trees off of lines because of bambi and feels would like to have a word with you. The state's infrastructure has started taking a massive shit in all sorts of ways and it's accelerating. Quoted: Because people that live in apartments have enough money to afford electric vehicles? I love watching mental illness in action. If they're paying 2-8k a month in rent, sure, they likely can. Part of this is a move to crush development; they're arm-twisting through all sorts of methods to try and get cheap shit built to stuff section 8 into, and developers that won't play ball have trouble - they're not allowed to just build all high end stuff. So what will end up happening is nobody getting approved to build anything. They have already gone through multiple multi-year stretches of permits and zoning getting held up all over the place. Ultimately someone has the notion to price out everyone but the Cloud People and have the poors take the train in from outlying areas to do all the janitor type work. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: yeah okay bud. wrong again... power goes out in Lakewood, Tacoma, Puyallup, University Place.. everywhere, so that dumbass argument is busted. We’re talking about the generation capacity to handle EVs. Hydro is a good setup for that. The lines are a separate issue, until you’re willing to pay for buries lines there’s not much to be done about that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Electric infrastructure in Washington is probably the best in the country. It was, not anymore. It still doesn’t solve the problem of the lack of generation capacity to service the proposed transmission to electric vehicles. If there was a need for the charging stations, they would be built without the need for a government mandate to build them. Mandating their construction is a waste of carbon credits. |

The government in pretty much every town and city has a heavy hand in the development market when it comes to parking. If parking minimums don't bother you, don't let this.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fucking idiots completely ignore the fact that our power infrastructure absolutely cannot support the electric car only dream these morons have up here Nothing creates the political will to improve the grid better than pushing it to it's limits and breaking it.  I'd be more concerned with the mandate being an edict rather than a market solution. Charging stations will happen just fine on their own if the government stays out of the way other than providing for a regulatory framework for safe "code compliant" installation no different than any other building code. There's money to be made in hosting charging stations and the government getting involved might fuck up that more sustainable approach. Government mandated charging stations will eventually be neglected and go into a state of disrepair. Market mandated charging stations will be well maintained and rationally allocated because they are by definition profitable. The free market should decide this. |
