The dealers don’t care. They will sell whatever the consumers will buy. It’s big oil that doesn’t want the change. Big oil runs the world.
Except if these solid-state batteries are real, this is the start of the big change-over.
There are still reasons some people still are not completely comfortable with EVs - their questionable safety.
If they actually can produce solid-state, safe batteries, the game will truly change.
For real.
Folks, I think you are all missing the major issue, and that is the generation of electricity and associated infrastructure to get the electricity to charging stations, either in homes or in charging stations.
The environmentalists (basically the entire Left/Democrat Party) do NOT want to increase energy production.
Period. End of sentence.
Can we all agree that the only thing acceptable to them is wind or solar power, and that NEITHER of those things is even remotely, on the same planet, capable of supplying what is needed?
Can we agree on that to start off? I am willing to debate anyone who thinks differently on that.
Next, can we agree they WILL NOT allow nuclear plants to be built, even with the EV wet dream driving them from behind? Can we agree on that?
Can we also agree that they are fully obstructing the construction of coal, oil, and gas powered power generation plants (fully to the point of demonization) and that nowhere NEAR the amount needed are being planned, much less approved? If someone wants to argue that, I am willing to engage on that.
Can we ALSO agree that the exploration for and exploitation of Oil, Gas, and Coal are being actively discouraged (also to the point of demonization) to the point of irrationality, to the point that even if we COULD get these generation plants approved and built, getting the oil, gas and coal to them is going to be problematic?
If anyone wants to take issue with these items above, please proceed. I am willing to engage and talk it out.
If not, there are only two choices: First, that there will be a shortcoming of energy to charge these EVs, and secondly, that people will be forced to drive less and use less power in general, and electricity in particular.
Going down this road at this time is insanity. And that insanity has nothing to do with “big oil” ruling things, or the auto industry refusing to go down that road to save jobs.
It is Leftist insanity, and going down that road is a road to ruin.
