I see all the fags are driving around in EVs. I mean, it’s their right. Free country. Whatever. I just wish they wouldn’t do it in public. So disgusting!

These EVs are nothing but a real pita as far as I can tell.

I should run my Cummins on used fryer grease thats as green as it gets.....but I dont need anymore “hobbies”...

On a related note

Have an opportunity to buy a good used Honda..Wifey says I should buy it because it would save me on gas as opposed to driving my other pickup to work. I told her...the math doesnt save me money. Better to just spend more on gasoline that manage three vehicles—doestn get it........logic isn’t the typical womans strength.

most of the new public chargers will be cheaper, Level 2 technology, which provides between 5 miles and 60 miles of range for each hour of charging

Gives the local ferals plenty of time to plot mischief against the immobilized EV driver...

It’s a great thing that Kemp took it upon himself to give away billions to EV companies.

Never asked the voters what they wanted. And fought them tooth and nail when they pushed back.

It has been shown that charging an EV is equivalent to a gas price of $17/gal.

EV sales are creeping up, but nowhere near the ambitious targets set by the policy experts,

People don't understand - "the market" will not make this decision, nor will you have any choice "not to buy an EV."

Fed.gov will simply mandate the car-making oligarchy to eliminate ICE vehicles. Toyota just announced, due to DOT fleet-mileage mandates, they were forced to switch all Camry's (their most popular sedan) to hybrid next year.

Mandating EVs are such a bad idea. So typical of the Communist ruling class peddling these insanely bad mandates. This is going to cause epic chaos in the future.

Rigged "elections" means never having to say you're sorry to your "voters".

“ Fed.gov will simply mandate the car-making oligarchy to eliminate ICE vehicles.”

Isn’t fascist America wonderful?

My leftist brother-in-law and his commie wife have an electric Volvo purchased with a $7,500 gift from you, thank you very much. They live in an upscale gated community and pretty much everything they want to do is within 10 or 15 miles so they think it’s great. And she says she can’t understand why everyone doesn’t buy an electric car. My wife explained it to her in great detail and it sailed right over her head.

No, school teachers are not the best and the brightest. Some more but the majority are not.

I still don’t quite see how the infrastructure for UNIVERSAL EV by 2030 (or whenever) is even possible, never mind getting it rolled out.

no worries

battery cars will not replace gas cars

the purpose of the battery cars is get rid of gas cars and therefore destroy private transportation

most will be on the bus or forced economically into 15 minute cities

I find it difficult to lay my finger upon that part of the Constitution that allows the Federal Government to do this.............

Even if there were charging stations every mile that mirrors the number of gasoline pumps, there isn’t enough generating power to run those stations.................

Is that a more modern type of innjector? Yes I heard older diesels are much more tolerant of veggie/oil and biodiesel in general.
