USIDE OMNYAMA WEzimoto zikagesi.
Izwe Le-Batt

Ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi kusezingeni eliphezulu.Kodwa, njengoba omunye umkhaya eSt. Petersburg, FL, wathola, zinjalo nezindleko zokushintsha amabhethri awo.

U-Avery Siwinksi utshele i-10 Tampa Bay ukuthi ukusebenzisa kwakhe i-Ford Focus Electric ka-2014 kwakusho ukuthi angakwazi ukuya esikoleni, okuwusiko lwasemadolobheni olujwayelene nalo.Umndeni wakhe ukhiphe u-$11,000 ngawo, futhi ezinyangeni eziyisi-6 zokuqala, konke kwahamba kahle.
"Bekukuhle ekuqaleni," kusho u-Avery Siwinski etshela i-10 Tampa Bay.“Ngayithanda kakhulu.Yayincane futhi ithule futhi iyinhle.Futhi kungazelelwe kwaphela ukusebenza.”

Lapho imoto iqala ukumnikeza isixwayiso ngo-March, uSiwinski wasiyisa endaweni edayisayo esizwa umkhulu wakhe, uRay Siwinksi.Ukuxilongwa kwakungekuhle: kwakuzodingeka ukushintshwa kwebhethri.Izindleko?$14,000, imali engaphezu kwaleyo ayikhokhele imoto kwasekuqaleni.Okubi nakakhulu, i-Ford yayiyiyekile imodeli ye-Focus Electric eminyakeni emine edlule, ngakho ibhethri lalingasatholakali.
“Uma uthenga entsha kumele uqaphele ukuthi njengamanje ayikho imakethe yamasekeni ngoba abakhiqizi abahambisani nezimoto,” kuxwayisa uRay lo msakazi.

I-Falling Flat
I-anecdote ibonisa inkinga ebucayi nesabisayo yemakethe ye-EV.

Uma i-EV iphuma emgwaqeni, amabhethri ayo asetshenziswa kabusha noma aphinde asetshenziswe.Kodwa ingqalasizinda yokukhiqiza amabhethri e-EV kanye nokugaywa kabusha ayikakabi khona - ngaphandle kwaseShayina, okungenani-okwandisa izimfuno ezivele zikhona ezinsizeni ezidingekayo ukuze kwenziwe amabhethri.Ngaphezu kokuba inkimbinkimbi kakhulu ukugaywa kabusha kunamabhethri e-lead acid ezimotweni zendabuko, amabhethri e-EV asinda ngendlela emangalisayo futhi kubiza ukuthuthwa.

Futhi yebo, ukushoda kwe-lithium okuzayo nakho akunakunakwa.Leyo yinkinga i-US esivele ibheke ukuyidambisa, njengoba uMnyango Wezamandla umemezela izinhlelo zokwakha izitshalo zebhethri ze-EV ezintsha eziyi-13 ngo-2025.
Ukuthembeka kwebhethri kungenye imbangela esobala.Amabhethri e-Tesla abambelele kahle ngokonakaliswa, kodwa abanikazi bamamodeli amadala avela kwabanye abakhiqizi abazange babe nenhlanhla.Njengamanje, umthetho wombuso ubeka ukuthi amabhethri e-EV kufanele aqinisekiswe iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili, noma amamayela ayi-100,000 - kodwa nakuba lokho kungcono kunalutho, kungaba ihlazo ukucabanga ngokushintsha injini emotweni yegesi ngemva kweminyaka eyisishiyagalombili nje.
