Forcing suppliers to build and people to buy EV's is the stupidest idea to come along in a loooong time.

But most people with a lick of common sense knew this already.

Goodyear loves EVs. Tires wear out rather quickly under all the battery weight.

A granddaughter loves her company EV Cadilac. It blows the doors slap off her personal gas-powered Caddy.

EVs are a blast to drive. Used to be that charging was a lot less than gas, but that's changing.

Just wait for the ranting when the DOT, state DOTS hits EVs with a per mile tax. Lol

Parking garages are already an issue. They weren't designed to for the weight.

Next up will be a domino solar flare first time a row of EVs go off in underground parking and brings down a skyscraper.

Hopefully we'll have new leadership soon to derail radical liberal schemes.

Yup. This EV scam is exactly yhe Progressive mind virus.
Socio-political activists find a topic that industry is starting to address, then they start to regulate and mandate adoption, all while creating massive government bureaucracy (and lifetime pensions for LGBTQIA) to "make it happen". It's quite disgusting.

I don't believe I'd want to park wife's Jeep in Choctaw brother's Parking Garage in the Nation with it jammed with EVs.

Wouldn't want you gentle people to be traumatized by a preview of a $100,000 Tesla committing self-immolation at 4500F. Needless to say none of us own anything or even know of anything that can keep from melting or burning at 4500F.

The ironic part of the whole EV narrative is that, if the government would have left it alone, the market was moving that way anyhow. But by choosing to politicize it, you took a portion of the population who disagrees with your politics and turned them away from EVs forever. And then you tried to expedite the transition forcing the automakers to spend billions to accelerate their factory transitions which drove up new car prices for non-EVs in order to subsidize those billions invested. So via "government help", the economy got a big boost of inflation (car prices were one of many drivers of the CPI index skyrocketing) and the EV market lost a chunk of its potential customer base due to political pressure/imagery. Now the EV market is stalled, and the major manufacturers are all shifting to hybrids which will make trying to pivot back to all EV harder. So well done environmentalists! You've guaranteed the need for "Drill baby Drill" for decades to come.

I wish David Allen was still around so he could defend his EV position, and I would no doubt disagree with it.

I still miss him.

Activists will take this as a sign that they need to mandate even more, enforce more draconian measures, but never ever consider that a progressive activist program was a failure from inception through to implementation.

Hence more LGBTQIA++ government hires with lifetime pensions starting at 55.

Very well put. Does the board's thinking believe the board's slow understands a sentence of this well thought out piece?
