That's exactly what the push for EVs is about, and that's all that it's about. And if EVs don't pan out? So much the better, as far as the statist control freaks are concerned.
The ignorance of some of the comments already on this thread (presumably from those who fancy themselves gearheads or techno-geeks or whatever) is pretty appalling. The "climate agenda" has nothing whatsoever to do with environmental protection or even "climate" itself. The EV push has everything to do with the freedom of mobility, freedom to travel, etc. How we are to live.
And here we have so-called conservatives sitting around, musing about the ins and outs of battery technology. Sheesh.
I hear ya! Fake cars lead to people with fake lives. Sad to watch!
