If EVs were really an innovation, the state wouldn’t have to bribe and force companies to produce them.
The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn’t really meet the definition of innovation.
Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV-makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology.
Which is why there is no real “emerging market” for EVs in the United States as much as there’s an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, endless state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts. The green “revolution” is an elite-driven, top-down technocratic project.
And it’s increasingly clear that the only reason giant rent-seeking carmakers are so heavily invested in EV development is that government is promising to artificially limit the production of gas-powered cars.

It’s intentionally planned to send humanity back to shanks’ mare and bicycles living in 15 minute cities.
Electric cars lost out to ICE in the early 20th century for a reason.
It is unfortunate that by the time the world realizes what a absurd mistake/fraud the EV is it will be too late.
One thing RFK Jr. is unlikely to do is to reverse course on his political party’s jihad against internal combustion engine s (delivered in part by what the article mentions: Largesse labeled on EV manufacturers and “winner picking” behavior toward their lame, part-time-availability automobiles.
Ditto~~~!!!

Reverse? He would accelerate. Nominate AOC as his GND tsar.

His party’s?!? RFK Jr has been at the forefront of enviromental nutjobbery since forever. He doesn’t need any pressure at all from his party.
A lot of people figured out the scam just by looking at the Prius.
This is sorta like reading someone going on a religion forum and declaring that the Catholic church is not the one, true church because it teaches people to worship saints.
It’s like, “really? You think you’re adding something to the conversation by making that claim?”
The wife, heavily invested in so-called “climate” issues, is modembly leaning on him to prevent a reversal of policy on ICEs...
I think this is true.
Hybrid might be ok but I don’t know how long they’ll last.
A normal Camry will last 20 years for sure.
But how long will a Camry hybrid last? I’m not sure.
EVs are a ruse to destroy private transportation
the elites are exempt of course
the unwashed masses will be on the bus
I’m going say it: PLUG-IN hybrids make a lot of sense.
“RFK Jr has been at the forefront of enviromental nutjobbery since forever. He doesn’t need any pressure at all from his party.”
Yes. And other nut jobbery.
Oddly, I am for him being Trump’s running mate.
To break the uniparty system.
Hey, how long does Tesla warranty their batteries. Also “The average battery replacement cost for a Tesla battery not under warranty can be anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the severity of the damage. Damn those accidents. I wonder how much of that the insurance companies will cover?
“If EVs were really an innovation, the state wouldn’t have to bribe and force companies to produce them.”
Right? It’s so obvious to everyone except the wealth sovereigns who run the government. And how would they know or care?
It’s kinda like The Rapture. Repent or die. If earth had an ass, she would be annoyed and offended by all the morons lining up to kiss it with plunging tongues.
“Electric cars lost out to ICE in the early 20th century for a reason.”
Com’on man. That new battery is just around the corner. The same corner Edison talked about in 1900, 1903, 1907, 1910. Then .............................................all the way to 2010.
Now that new battery is just around the corner. 2050???
