thinking about that

do newer ice cars that stop the engine when the car is stopped lose AC when the engine is stopped?

I've never had a new enough ICE car to get the start/stop tech.

As far as EVs go - I've played games in my car for a couple hours in my 90+ degree garage with the car set at 72 degrees and only lost about 1% of battery. From what i googled a idling ICE car may use around .5 gallon / hour so yeah with that super unscientific estimate I would guess the EV would definitely outlast the ICE car

Yes and no. The A/C unit in mine keeps running for a while when the engine is stopped with the auto start/stop on. Just about the time the air starts getting hot, the engine cranks up again.

Car AC draws about 1-2 watts. The displays use considerably less.

So I could sit and idle my Porsche at a comfortable temperature for 50-100 hours.

How do you evacuate with a dead EV?


About the same as a car with an empty gas tank, I figure.



Much easier to fill a tank with a 5 gallon can of gas than to charge an EV with no power


If you know a storm is coming and don't bother to charge your car before hand, you are an idiot.

250-300 miles will get you plenty far away.

Stuck in bumper to bumper evacuation traffic?  I can see you have never done this before.



Unlike gas cars, EV's engines don't use their "fuel" when idle.


Same thing as we saw last winter, EV's can keep the heat on as long or longer than ICE sitting stuck on the freeway in the snow.

You would be wrong. Lithium packs in cars are sealed.


While the packs may be sealed, all the wiring is maybe not so much. Further, salt water is corrosive as shit.

Probably. But the notion that an EV could just go blasting thru salt water with no issues is just ridiculous.

Last time I drove my Jeep thru "deep" non-salty water, all the electronic wizardry started throwing errors like mad. Once all the sensors and wiring dried out, it was OK. Probably would not have been OK if I'd driven thru salty water, though.

I never claimed it could. And having driven a Jeep though salt water, you will regret it GREATLY about 16 months later. I got to completely re wire that XJ cause of that…

Car AC draws about 1-2 watts. The displays use considerably less.

So I could sit and idle my Porsche at a comfortable temperature for 50-100 hours.

The SC network continues flexing its resiliency. Earlier today when I posted it was post landfall and was at about 3 down SC's out of around 30 in Tampa/St Pete area. Tonight, with 1.5million out in FL that number in the same area sits at around 5 SC's down. Again as I posted earlier in the thread my pic only shows 3 down, but that list of SC's scrolls down, hence the 5 out of 30. I think ~25-45% of Tampa is without power right now and the SC network is down 16%. This has a lot to do with many of these being close to trunk lines and they pull straight off of it into conduit to get to the SC station.

Considering one with an EV likely charges their car every night, I dunno why they would have a dead EV starting out.  Sort of one of the major advantages of an EV, you start out every morning with a full tank.

You can't immediately transfer gas.

See that would require instantaneous mass transfer... which in theory, would tear space-time.

So... if you want earth to become a black hole, go ahead.

You already ruined the thread with posting pics that show you own EV and ICE. Total Bummer that you aren't towing the thin green line!!!
In other news, my yard LOL:



The blasphemy of being sandwiched amongst 2 V8's and a greasy flat six in that pic with my EV just waiting to spontaneously combust and take them all out. Even worse is that there's a 6.6L turbo diesel and a 1000cc Polaris behind the camera in this pic. I'm just so green I can't stand it!!!!!!!!

You can't immediately transfer gas.

See that would require instantaneous mass transfer... which in theory, would tear space-time.

So... if you want earth to become a black hole, go ahead.


Look, that's all well and good. However, I would posit that a black hole is not a tear in space time, and that it is a near infinite curve of space time.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

The SC network continues flexing its resiliency. Earlier today when I posted it was post landfall and was at about 3 down SC's out of around 30 in Tampa/St Pete area. Tonight, with 1.5million out in FL that number in the same area sits at around 5 SC's down. Again as I posted earlier in the thread my pic only shows 3 down, but that list of SC's scrolls down, hence the 5 out of 30. I think ~25-45% of Tampa is without power right now and the SC network is down 16%. This has a lot to do with many of these being close to trunk lines and they pull straight off of it into conduit to get to the SC station.

1.5 million without power on the West Coast of FL (Tampa to Naples) right now.

Ain't nobody charging shit right now...
I'll try to remember to go out to the car and get another screenshot tonight of what's available around Tampa again.

That would be helpful

180k without power in Tampa so they should have some options

In theory... you could creep more near instantaneous.

But your math is gonna have to be REAL tight. And I wouldn't do it in a populated area.



Not to mention the energy required... and that shit goes up fast!

Sir. I can, perhaps, agree that if heat was generated by the event, this would imply that the frabric of space time has both a) measurable surface friction and, if so b) has measurable tensile strength. Is your proposal that space time has property a) and, thus, must have an estimatable young's modulus as if it were a simple sheet of paper? If so, would not sufficiently massive stars have a noticeable delta in energetic profile due to frictional heat being sourced from a friction event associated with penetration of the casimir horizon when using plate plate theory?

Car AC draws about 1-2 watts. The displays use considerably less.

So I could sit and idle my Porsche at a comfortable temperature for 50-100 hours.

Kilowatts, yes. Lol. The Taycan has a 93.4 kwh battery. you feel me. But thank you. so my math works, just not so much my words. It's been a long day.

Nice.

I'm not sure how the station near UTC (where you see the name Lakewood Ranch) has power.  Everyone around that station is without power (son lives near that spot).

Good info though.  Lots of people in SRQ have Teslas and Taycans.

PS.  There's a Rivian Launch Edition Green Truck for sale locally.  It looks awesome.

How do you evacuate with a dead EV?
Considering one with an EV likely charges their car every night, I dunno why they would have a dead EV starting out.  Sort of one of the major advantages of an EV, you start out every morning with a full tank.

That said, the same way you would with a gas car which has an empty tank.  You don't.

Hmmm....we never thought about that

I'm down. Better than pedo Joe.


Can we divide by 0 at the same time?



Looks like electric vehicles are fine in cities but in the real world where vehicles with fur a living they are mostly useless.


I'm just still impressed with how everyone is ranting and raving how the hybrid gets 40mpg on the highway. Big whoop. A turbocharged AWD Audi with a 6 speed gets 38mpg hwy. I used to get 41mpg out of a 2004 Acura TL with a 6mt.

Definitely "a", and thus "b". I'll agree to that.

We'll get to the stars later.

...

Now... if someone tore time FIRST before "instantaneously" moving the gas from the Jerry can to the gas tank... you could avoid the heat generation.

But the energy required to set this up... I figure, it would be better to just use a fraction of, to charge your car!

You can't divide by 0.

But you can get really fucking close!
