NO. We all need the likes of Mr. Tiny Penis and his TDS infested moonbat buddies just to point out how friggin far the anti American alt lefties have drifted off the normal spectrum.

Electric cars are widely accepted as the future of the automotive industry
but there are still some key limitations with the current generation of battery technology that limits their appeal to consumers. Two of the biggest issues are range and charging times, but Toyota claims a breakthrough in its development of solid-state batteries could solve both of those issues in one. According to the brand, the new technology should reduce the weight and size of batteries by around 50% while significantly slashing costs.
When the tech does make it to production cars, the brand claims ranges of 745 miles and charging times of under 10 minutes would be possible. The Japanese automaker previously reported that it was looking to bring solid-state batteries to customer cars as soon as 2025.

Why are people told to keep their EV's out away from their homes.
They are useless and will cause more problems than they are worth

Why are we being told by government what kind of car we have to buy?

Did you ask that question when they mandated seat belts? Catalytic converters?

Electric vehicle models are now surpassing gas-powered cars in fuel efficiency.*
The 2023 vehicles with the highest EPA rating for fuel economy are EVs, each with 140 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), while the highest-rated fuel economy for gasoline vehicles was only around 60 miles per gallon, reported CleanTechnica.*
The two models to achieve the 140 MPGe were the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and the Lucid Air.*
MPGe is how the EPA measures EV fuel economy, making it easy to compare with gas-powered vehicles. It tells us that 33.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity is equal to the energy for one gallon of gasoline.
Between 2011 (when modern mass-market EVs came out) and 2023, EV fuel economy has improved by 37%, while gasoline vehicle fuel economy only increased by 19%, per CleanTechnica.
This is great news since EVs cut down on heat-trapping air pollution as they produce no exhaust, and the market for EVs has grown significantly over the years.*
EVs on the road went from about 22,000 to more than two million between 2011 and 2021, reported the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and this was aided in large part by the fact that prices have significantly gone down in recent years.
EV prices from companies like Tesla have been dropping while efficiency increases, good news for buyers and for the planet.*
Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 was put on the market earlier this year.*
The Hyundai Motor Group’s E-GMP electric vehicle platform serves as the foundation for the aerodynamic sedan body of the Ioniq 6. This platform is also used for other SUVs like the Ioniq 5, Kia’s EV6 and EV9, and the Genesis GV60, reported CNET.*
Thanks to this platform, the Ioniq 6 has an advantage in terms of range and efficiency compared to its extended EV family.
The luxurious and long-ranging Lucid Air electric sedan was also introduced earlier this year and is a bit lighter than the range-topping Grand Touring model because of its smaller battery pack and interior trim, according to CNET.*
“The trends we are witnessing have significant implications for global oil demand. Electric vehicles are changing the status quo. By 2030, they will avoid the need for at least five million barrels a day of oil,” said International Energy Agency executive director Fatih Birol, as reported by IEA.org. “Cars are just the first wave: electric buses and trucks will follow soon.”

Red herring. I see no problem with mandating some safety features in cars. Catalytic converters were never a government mandate. The government set an emissions standard and manufacturers had to figure out a way to meet it. Honda did it by redesigning their engines, no catalytic converter needed. US manufacturers took the easy route and slapped a catalytic converter on their cars to meet it.

That isn't comparable to the government mandating EV's, funding charging stations, and outlawing new ICE vehicle sales.

Bullshit.
Sure, consider the feds setting the emissions standards to zero and using engines that don't use fossil fuel.

Yup. EVs don't need no stinking emissions standards.
Watching the "masks don't work" mob dance around this issue is amusing.

Yes, it is. Nothing triggers the MAGA morons like seeing the popularity of EVs. It is quite amusing.

That's in essence what they are doing. They are forcing an unnecessary shift to EV's. The feds are subsidizing and even outright funding this shift too. Funny thing is it won't fix a fucking thing... All it will do is impoverish more people.
Converters were designed to lower emissions. That makes them the same as EVs. Yeah, they were mandated too.

Bullshit. The converter was only one way to reach those standards. As I pointed out, Honda met them early on by inventing a new engine and didn't bother with using a converter. On the other hand, the feds and state governments are putting out mandates that EV's be the future with little or no alternatives considered.
