Silent Pitfalls of Electric Cars: My Frustrated Plea for Transparency

Hi!

It was 2020 when I was talking over Discord with my friend Tron and he was advising me to invest in copper because of the huge proportions of electric cars that would have supposely appear of the market. And because of ships and others...
Over these years, I have considered the risks that could be associated with using an electric car myself. And I am now wiritng this article to tell you a few things that just got stuck in my mind...suppositions but major risk factors, afterall...

Before we start, let's just becaome aware one more time that the WEF wants to to give up on our rights to own private transportation and to give up on our private cars...:

But, now, let's assume that in 5-10-15 years from now we would still own our own car and that would be an electrical one.

I feel there's a global race towards a greener future. And the automotive industry has fervently embraced electric cars as the beacon of environmental sustainability. Feel the media! The promise of reduced emissions and a cleaner planet has propelled the electric vehicle revolution into the mainstream. However, with all the electrifying enthusiasm, there lurks a frustrating and largely unaddressed issue (at least in my mind, for a while now), and that is the complex risks associated with electric cars that seem to be conveniently swept under the rug. People should talk more and more about these factors of risk.

Has anyone thought about this?
Let's say we're all in traffic right now.
If all cars were electric... and stuck in a three-hour traffic jam... the batteries are dead! And then what? The frustration would just raise and raise as we would meet fear, anxiety, hunger...etc. and other multifaceted challenges. I really don't know if the widespread adoption of electric vehicles would be a good thing.

To begin with, let's talk about heating – or the lack thereof – in electric cars. Why? Well, I think it's a commonly overlooked aspect that becomes glaringly evident when you find yourself stranded on a cold night. Without a functioning battery, there's no heating, no wipers, no radio, and no GPS. And that could easily be a dire situation that not only leaves you helpless but also raises questions about the practicality of an all-electric future.

Imagine being in a predicament where a call to 911 is essential to ensure the safety of women and children. The bitter truth is that emergency services can't come to your aid because all roads are blocked, and the mandate for police cars to be electric adds another layer of complexity to the situation (assuming we still have a Police force at that time and not adnroids running in the snow to save us:).

Even when the roads are eventually cleared, the bitter reality sets in and we can face another risky situation: no one can move because their batteries are dead. The silent inconvenience of electric vehicles, often overshadowed by the grandeur of environmental friendliness, seems to me as a frustrating hurdle for myself for now. I might rise a revolution :)

But let's see next, what could happen or not in the theoretical situation I have started in the beginning of this article:
Charging thousands of cars stuck in traffic becomes a logistical nightmare. This leads to thinking and analyzing the innovative solutions, such as a business model involving drones for delivering heavy batteries and a team to efficiently replace drained ones. But the bigger question still remains: How sustainable is this in the long run?

The same issues persist during the summer vacation exodus, with traffic jams stretching for kilometers for certain areas in the world. The absence of air conditioning in electric cars becomes more than just an inconvenience.... it becomes a potential hazard. The rapid depletion of batteries due to the strain of cooling systems adds another layer to the frustration. Dang!

Yet, these critical drawbacks remain conspicuously absent from the discourse surrounding electric cars. It seems that the collective enthusiasm for a greener tomorrow has veiled the necessity of addressing the challenges that come with it. The silence from politicians and reporters on these issues is, at best, baffling and, at worst, disconcerting. FTW!

They are all fascinated, and they ignore the complex risks and inconveniences. The lack of discussion about these issues is frustrating ...to me, at least.

Are we truly ready to deal with the consequences of a world where every vehicle on the road depends solely on electric power?
The scenarios of being stranded without essential functions like heating, communication, or navigation paint a grim picture that is often overshadowed by the push for cleaner energy.

I see many that advocate for a sustainable and eco-friendly future, but it's crucial to address these concerns openly and find solutions.
How can we ensure the reliability of electric vehicles in various situations, from traffic jams to emergency scenarios?
What innovations are needed to make electric cars more resilient and user-friendly?

I dare and I invite the Hive community to express their thoughts on this matter. Share your opinions, concerns, and potential solutions. It's time to have an informed and comprehensive conversation about the complex risks associated with the widespread adoption of electric cars.
Are we truly prepared for the challenges they bring, or are we charging headlong into a future without addressing the potential pitfalls?
Let your voices be heard.

With respect,
Zpek

I agree that there is a lot of room to evolve the technology, there are potential problems of having a EV today. BUt I still see some good potential for the future, such as own energy generation using solar panels ?

Yes, solar panels and redistribute the extra energy to cash in on that. Windmills for regenerable energy, water for regenerable energy. Thanks for stopping by and giving your opinion on this! How are things in Pakistan?
