The majority of France's power comes from nuclear.

>>17487465
France is 75% nuclear and 15% renewables (mostly hydro)

I'd like to know what damage the used batteries will do to the environment.

To be honest electric cars taking over as the average daily driver could be a blessing in disguise for car enthusiasts. With manufacturers no longer having to build small, weak engines to cater to the normies or loading shit boxes up with gadgets they may be able to better invest in building more performance orientated combustion engines. We might also see new performance cars without the extra appliances we don't care for, as the car can be built solely for the driving experience.

It's shit news for poor fags though cause they'll be expensive.

I'm surprised these arent about already to be honest. Maybe electric bikes were too heavy?

We were supposed to stop using gas by 1982

>>17487439
Electric cars are only fashion accessories, once the truth behind the so-called "zero-emissions" come out people will quickly change their mind. Banning all ICE vehicles will be the worst and most ignorant thing a government could you, for example an electric truck wouldn't succeed to surpass the ICE ones just thing of the range a 10tonnes electric truck would have.

>>17487439
Random question. Can electric cars drift well?

They're still going to have to increase electrical output nationwide. Everyone that plans on doing this does. Depending on the power source it'll only cause mote pollution.

>>17487545
Theyre already building one.

>>17487668
Literbike weight but can't do highway speeds because 1 gear. They're finally making transmissions that can handle the torque but they're still heavy as shit and don't have much range.

>>17487668
I think it's mostly due to range. You can't get very far to begin with, recharge stations arent very prevalent, and charging can take a while.

Weight is a factor, but lots of cruiser bikes are already pigs. I think the bigger advantages are noise (tinnitus) and AWD.

>>17487987
As does all power generation, however they would likely expand sources they are good at and aim for renewable production like other leaders in the EU (Germany). Do remember that nuclear still produces less radioactive waste than coal and has no airborne pollutants.

>>17487987
France has a surplus and exports power to Germany and other nations.

>>17487987
France has ridiculous amount of free electricity at night because such large part of their power generation capacity is nuclear, which can't be turned on and off quickly based on demand.

Because of France's nuclear power plants, the wholesale electricity rate in the continental western Europe drops to zero or near zero every fucking night in spring and fall.

Electric cars could be made to charge mostly at night, and France could support millions of them with no new capital investment in power generation.

>>17487811
RC ones do just fine.
>>17487545
There are a few ones already, both slow scooters and performance oriented sports bikes. Forgot the name but they did a pikes peak run on it.

>>17488022
The Zero with extra battery pack has a range near 300km already, which is similar to ICE bikes. With the fast charger is was like 20 minutes for a 90% charge, although that one only had a range of 200km. Which should be fine anyway.
Because they don't need so much power they can get away with less batteries (which lowers the weight without losing range)

>>17487516
the problem with that is that carmakers are global. so I would fully expect cucks like ford deciding they are gonna follow suit and only sell electric cars, simply because they want to keep selling in europistan. Which means Americans yet again, suffer the wrath of EU oriented car design.

the biggest player here is china. the PEOPLE want gas guzzling cars because they literally copy American Culture and so they want big cars. (which is why most chinese market cars are long wheelbase)

but Im not sure what the government wants to do. they cant keep getting away with their environmental fuckery forever and they know it. So i can imagine them going full hog into electric simply to take the piss out of people like Trump who call them out on it.

as long as china wants gas powered cars, they are safe in America. As soon as they go electric, we're fucked.

>>17487493
France is already 75% Nuclear retard.

>>17487465
Removing all vehicles that run on fossil fuels and uping the usage of fossil fuels to generate enough electricity to operate electric cars would still result in a net reduction of carbon emission compared to today, for France at least.

But keep spouting misinformation bullshit. We all know you're just being a right wing looney because that's the new counter-culture.

I don't think they can make it to 2040 as a country.

This is great, can't wait to see France get closer to being completely destroyed.

Leftists can't figure out how to stop muslims from running their people over with trucks, or how to stop priests from being beheaded during Sunday mass, but they can figure out how to change the Earth's temperature by 0.3 degree F over 80 years if everyone does exactly what they say.

gas bikes can already accelerate fast enough to lift the front wheel, so the added bottom end power isn't needed as much as it is in cars, but the range is a real deal breaker since there is not a lot of room to hide batteries on a bike.

Given how far EV technology has come in the last, like, 10 years, I'm all for it.

That said, there will still be millions upon millions of cars on the road, and people who don't want or can't buy an EV will probably just buy them from neighbouring countries that give slightly less fucks about their CO2 emissions than France does. Assuming their precious European Union doesn't fall, importing a car will be ezpz.
