Another waste of money.
Any shortage of demand for electric vehicles is exceeded by the limited production.
Bend over taxpayers here it comes again
Only wealthy people can afford these EVs. That means a tax credit to the rich.
The rest of us taxpayers who cannot afford or would not have an EV get to subsidize liberals who can easily afford one as their second or third car.
I recently read a story on why people gave up their EV’s and went back to gas cars. They were almost exclusively from the middle class. They, on average were unable to park it in a garage and did not buy the 220V charger, limiting them to an extension cord and 110V charging. On average 110V charging for the typical EV takes 24hrs, making them impractical for working people. Also, few of the people who gave them up for a return to gas had a second, gas car, for unplanned trips.
Other issues were about charging infrastructure being unavailable or extremely complicated as to terms, prices, and usability. As another issue, there is no plug standard in the US, so you have to have several $150 jumper plugs to adapt to the various charging system plugs. In short, too complicated to use public charging and too expensive to buy adapters and too much planning as to win and how you use it.
Fire up the coal burning power plants, were gonna need them.
...LOL!
Wall Street Urinal…ROFL!!
So I am paying for some else’s ev? No wonder auto theft is thru the roof. I think I will sharpen my keys. It ain’t vandalism if you paid for it.
No infrastructure to support it. And they still run on fossil fuels unless we are building nuke plants and overhsuling electrical distribution, both of which with be a decade or more in the making and we don’t have the national will (or economy) like the space program of the 1960s.
If they aren’t able to compete without government putting it’s fat fingers on the scale, then ultimately they will not succeed if government is putting its fat fingers on the scale.
Stop all Judge appointments in committee work until 2024 .

My super well maintained fuel vehicles will run for the next 15+ years. I have zero need or cash to buy another vehicle.
People who cannot afford a Tesla will be paying for those who can.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that government-manufactured climate crisis (imo) is a state power issue, the states never expressly constitutionally giving the feds the specific power to use finding remedies for junk science issues as an excuse for appropriating unconstitutional, unaccountable federal taxes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In other words, "climate crisis" is a tested politically correct Democratic excuse to exploit post-17th Amendment ratification voters / taxpayers who have probably never been taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had intended for those powers to be understood.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, had clarified that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the feds.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Corrections, insights welcome.
Also, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents in federal and state governments. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
So we all get to pay for this nonsense. Well the end game is coming for the federal debt very soon.
Why would a electric vehicle need a $7,500 tax credit if they are so popular?
I have a gas powered car. Where is my tax credit?
