“Yet government and their fascist eco supporters do not want a simple solution. Why?”

Kickbacks and insider trading from pushing the EV scam.

It’s all about forcing people into not being able to travel and live more than 15 minutes from their pod house.

His Virtue Signal is pretty weak...hope he can live with himself having rented a gas vehicle for such a mundane selfish reason as enjoyment.

Bala told Fox Business that he purchased an EV because owning one is "responsible citizenship these days,"

So, what's the gripe?

You've made your grand virtue signal. Enjoy.

Dalbir Bala said "owning one is responsible citizenship these days...and the government needs to do more to provide consumers with the right information."

Yes, the GOVERNMENT must do much more for us. We bear zero responsibility to do our own research on our $100,000 purchases. Dalbir could have lurked on FR and leaned all he needed to know to avoid his stupid mistake.

The name Dalbir is commonly a male name from the Sikh origin that means "The brave soldier". He must be a brave soldier in the fight against the Climate Emergency. Suck it up and take your losses like a good Sikh soldier, Dalbir.

EVs are NOT for long road trips.

Not yet, anyway.

Don’t know if they every will be.

I disagree ever so slightly with Mr. Dalbir Bala. In Canaduh, like elsewhere in the world, EVs are a VERY big scam.

The biggest scam in Canaduh, is the GUBMINT SANCTIONED IMMIGRATION OF 437,180 IMMIGRANTS AND 607,782 NON-PERMANENT RESIDENTS.

The scam is both on the immigrants and on Canadians. The immigrants are told that EVERYONE owns a house in Canaduh and should be able to get it within 3 years, and that all Healthcare and dental care is free, they get a lifetime pension at 65 and all kinds of other Bravo Sierra. It is a utopia, a heaven on Earth!

The hot air blown up Canadians butts is that immigrants ADD VALUE to the Canadian economy, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH NO MARKETABLE SKILLS and who speak neither ENGLISH nor FRENCH! We, the taxpayers, pay the freight (welfare) for the MILLIONS of immigrants with no skills and cannot communicate with Canadians!

THAT is the BIGGEST scam in Canaduh!

Many Canadians are passed off with this Bravo Sierra and many of these immigrants are passed off with the Bravo Sierra spoon fed them by Canaduh’s immigration department! Personally, I know several Ukrainian new non-residents who will be returning as soon as the war is over. They are fed up with Canaduh already.

ALBERTA OUT OF CANADUH!
CANADUH OUT OF ALBERTA!

TUCK FRUDEAU!

Even with a hybrid you still have to haul around a heavy battery.

At 4 bucks a gallon for gasoline, none of this stuff makes much sense. Unless you’re scared of “evil carbon” then it’s more like a religious quest rather than economics.

“ described how he paid $115,000 on the Truck”

Well that pretty much summarizes this persons decision making ability .

EVs are a waste of resources. Internal combustion engines are the product of 140 years of development.

EV pickups are not practical for what people use pickups for. Most people buy pickups to carry lots of stuff long distances.

What kind of twit decides to take and EV on a long haul trip???

It can be done... With lots and lots of difficulties and hassles. EV’s are awesome for a trip to the store... They are not meant for long haul and long hours of transportation. Give your head a shake.

I'm not defending the truck but the truck didn't make this guy buy it. What kind of person buys an electric truck without checking out all the angles (like how and where you are going to recharge it...and how long it's going to take to recharge and how far it's going to go once it's recharged)?

Half of America has gone Woke...and the other half has gone stupid.
