The JD Rucker Show

One of the sayings of Confucius that I appreciate most is “to know what you know … and what you do not know … that this is true knowledge.” This is why I have personally owned four electric vehicles and have driven them tens-of-thousands of miles. I want to know everything the electric car transition (sic) is about.

The transition is not going as fast as many predicted due to the headwinds of affordability (especially with higher interest rates fueled by inflation), range anxiety, and the lack of a convenient and reliable charging infrastructure. In this article, I will explore one of them, range anxiety. Promises by President-elect Trump to eliminate EV subsidies would cause even more headwinds for the rate of EV adoption.

I believe the true definition of EV range anxiety has less to do with how far one can drive between charges and more to do with where the next charge is coming from. Improvements in battery chemistry will extend range and help reduce range anxiety to an extent, but will not come close to eliminating it as some hope.

In 2023 the median driving range of an EV (battery electric vehicle) was 270 miles. The median driving range of a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) is 403 miles, or 133 miles more. With ICE, filling the gasoline tank to full, refueling with 50 miles of driving left, provides 353 miles of driving distance. With EVs, to maintain battery health, it is generally recommended to keep the battery between a 20 percent and 80 percent state of charge, which gives the average EV a driving distance of only 162 miles. This is less than half that of an average gasoline powered vehicle. And to make things worse, battery range can decline from 10 percent to 36 percent or more in winter since battery capacity is closely associated with air temperatures. Gasoline powered vehicle range reduction in cold weather is considerably less.

Here are different levels of EV range anxiety as I perceive them. The level of range anxiety has more to do with where the next charge is coming from and less with how far one can drive between charging sessions. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals

Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.

The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.

At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.

Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
