They should pay extra taxes for tearing up the roads all the tens of thousands of gallons in takes to put out their battery fires

But this is a different paradigm, under which government is pressuring politicization of business decisions.

I think there is a name for the political system that does this; starts with an 'F' and ends in a 'T'.

My opinion is that the insurance industry is going to benefit the most from EV. It costs approximately $26,000 on a mid-size EV to replace the battery pack. People are going to have to start paying big bucks for warranties to cover that replacement cost.

Cost wise the insurance companies will destroy the EV companies with this. I am not too much of a fan of insurance companies and if there is any risk with the EV’s they will price the insurance sky high. Unless Biden subsidizes the insurance they will kill the EV industry.

This is evidence that pretty much everyone—from central planners to auto manufacturers—misjudged the demand for EVs, which are not even as environmentally friendly as politicians would have you believe.
