If you know someone who is considering the purchase of an EV, remind them that the big, expensive battery in an EV is dependent on rare earth materials much of which come from Chinese owned sources. And as our relationship with China deteriorates, that big expensive battery will become even more expensive and hard to get. It may come to pass that you won’t be able to get a battery at all.
If that happens you may fine yourself gazing whimsically at your $60,000 paper-weight parked in the driveway. And while your functionally worthless paper-weight sits, the bank will insist that you still make the payments on it as will your car insurance provider.
Talk about throwing money into a toilet ...
I see an EV as a useful tool for running around town for errands. For me it would be a 4th vehicle.
I hope to purchase one once the public has been educated and they are selling for pennies on the dollar.
I see a future market for retrofitting EVs with ICE powertrains.
