So do EV's requirement of fossil energy require more, or less than current gas motor vehicles?

If you add the making of the EV, then yes.

I heard a lady ask in a council meeting what would happen in an emergency evacuation of electric vehicles from Florida before a hurricane. Result…a cluster of huge proportions.

Well,  . . . . Florida . . . big hurricane . . . . it will all go smoothly then without any EV's.  Hopefully Mar-a-Lago will be spared!  Too many sensitive documents could be washed out to sea!  Then we have a cluster of huge proportions.   A resort losing its SCIF's???🤣

You are a fool, Mitch. but for some goddam reason, I still like you.

Come you can do better than the last resort of blaming Trump for all earthly woes.
 

What equipment is going to used to create the charging stations…What equipment actually charges the charging stations? And what does all this equipment run on?

I like you too, but common sense isn’t your greatest asset. But you’re quite witty! 😂

Alright, I'll bite.  So is your supposition that the entire EV industry is a zero-sum gain in terms of an net reduction of greenhouse gases?  Or that EV's energy efficiency isn't superior to internal combustion engine?  

Or lets just make it even more simple.  Do you believe that man-made climate change isn't real?  Or that wind-power, solar energy, and searching for alternatives to fossil fuels is all just touchy-feely liberal poppycock?  

I'll concede that mining of lithium is not without its problems.

Can someone please explain the plan to generate enough electricity to power this Country if all the fossil fuel generating plants are shut down?  Nuke?  Wind, solar, and hydro can't produce enough.  Read that some want to eliminate the hydros as well.  Wind and solar are not economical on a big scale hence all the supplements/credits Uncle Sugar hands out.  Where are the EVs going to get their juice when we can't produce enough power for all other needs?  Get China and India and others to control their CO2 emissions.  Good luck with that.

In reality the benefits of fossil fuels outweigh the negative side affects.
