These politicians that spent their entire life in office just don't understand how life really works, or interaction with other people(s), especially internationally.

But not by accident. It is clearly a agenda to break us down.

I think this says it all and until they can bridge that gap, while providing equal or better capabilities to gas powered vehicles, there is no way this can happen effectively.

"Overall, the average cost of an EV was $64,338 while the average cost of a compact gas-powered car was $26,101 as of last year, according to Kelley Blue Book. In addition, the Department of Energy reported that the average range of model year 2021 gasoline vehicles was 403 miles compared to the median 234-mile range of model year 2021 EVs."

I am currently in the market for a new vehicle, and I have considered EVs and hybrids. Not because of the pressure or because some political party tells me I should, I am looking at what I can afford and what meets my requirements. To date EVs are not cost effective in any sense of the imagination. EVs also do not meet the standards of equal time to "fill up" and range. Three strikes... out (and those aren't the only strikes, they're the strikes while the batter was looking).

Truly great questions if one is buying a vehicle. Thank you. EV's are just not ready for prime time. They will put people in the poor house and cripple our electric grids. Pretty much the same conclusion can be made for wind turbines and solar energy.

SFC (Join to see) It’s a simple math problem. Like anything I buy, I look for capability, cost, and reoccurring expenses. I know that concept is hard for those that push EVs, which is why it is purely a political tool and not some desire to keep the environment clean.

An EV in my neck of the woods needs to be garaged so that the battery doesn't go low because of the cold, plus they are as impractical as the president is brother SFC (Join to see)
