The inevitable EV implosion

[Truth Detector]

The truth is that man is not the cause of global warming. Man only occupies 3% of the planet. It is the pinnacle of arrogance to presume man even has that kind of power.

The fact is, the SUN is the greatest factor in warming and cooling on this planet and ignoring that REALITY is dangerous.

The inevitable EV implosion

The electric vehicle honeymoon is over. Don’t expect the marriage itself to last much longer either.

The mass conversion from internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEs) to electric vehicles was never more than a Democrat/environmentalist hallucination anyway. It was the most ill-conceived government policy objective in modern history.

The transition should have been a non-starter. It’s riddled with numerous deal killers. It’s like having a dozen fatal diseases all at the same time.

Any goal as massive as a total conversion from ICE vehicles to EVs requires careful planning and infrastructure preparation. It would necessitate a rapid doubling of electricity generation and grid expansion. In today’s world that’s impossible.

EV promoters could never deliver on their promises. Their grandiose assurances were nothing more than wishful thinking.

There was no market research. Hmm -- I wonder why. There were no feasibility studies. Hmm -- I wonder why. Did they actually believe everyone would tolerate spending hours to charge their vehicles rather than the minutes they were accustomed to?

Car dealers are resisting further deliveries of EVs because of swelling inventories. Avis and Hertz can’t even get people to rent EVs! Yet, manufacturers are ramping up production just as consumers are balking. Something will have to give, and soon. EV makers and their shareholders will tire of pouring money down a rathole.

Hopefully the inventories will eventually become bloated enough to crash prices. Then I'd consider buying one.

Had the Brandon administration thought this thing through, they would have beefed up the grid with small nuclear plants in preparation for this "great new wave" of technology. Instead, they did the opposite.

A classic reminder of what a bad purchase this is currently. Bear in mind, a half dozen gas guzzling ICE vehicles had to follow her.

And there simply aren't any significant advantages to buying an EV over an ICE for the individual.

Even less when the morons promoting it shut down nuclear and gas powered plants. It takes real stupidity to promote an electric society while at the same time destroying the ability to produce it.

Batteries are highly toxic and the mining of the lithium needed for them is a very ugly dirty process.

Not going to happen in our lifetimes. Let alone the grid capacity to support them.

Comeon man. Biden or his administration think?

I wish they would all move to Zimbabwe or perhaps Venezuela. Maybe they finally will when Trump gets re-elected!

They won't. No integrity.

We need to decide on a standardized charging station and expand the charging infrastructure before making mandates that force everyone into EVs. Then we MUST be able to manufacture all components of the EV including the batteries and their rare earths. We also need to expand our electrical grids to accept the added demand. That will take decades to do.

If leftists wait for all that how do you expect them to destroy America?

I did notice reports many months back of experts begging the Regime to change course on EV mandates, and that they got told to pound sand......make it work.

The average vehicle cost is 46K. There are countless Evs under that level that will continue saving you money as time goes by. The average person drives 37 miles a day. There are zillions of charging stations in almost every zone. The arguments against EVs are gone.

The truth is that man is not the cause of global warming.

What global warming? From when to when? No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth.

Man only occupies 3% of the planet. It is the pinnacle of arrogance to presume man even has that kind of power.

True.

The fact is, the SUN is the greatest factor in warming and cooling on this planet and ignoring that REALITY is dangerous.

Consider this. If the Sun is producing more energy and warming the Earth, what are you going to do about it? Buy a new pair of sunglasses?

What you are describing can only be done through tyranny. It's impossible because people will revolt.

EV promoters could never deliver on their promises. Their grandiose assurances were nothing more than wishful thinking.

It's more than that. It's the goal of tyrannical governments.
