What did anyone expect?

Idiots run this country.

I have no problem with the concept of EVs.

Technology doesn’t make them feasible yet.

Tesla has both the technology and the cars to sell

Me neither, as long as they have an ICE in them.

Electric drive-trains blow the doors off of atomic transmissions.

“ Technology doesn’t make them feasible yet.”
This has been said about EV’s since about 1900.

______________________

Probably never will.
Kind of simple physics.
Gas engines has been optimized to the degree that they are pretty close in efficiency to the power generators.
Electricity distribution (wires) are expensive and will always have loses.
Charging times will always be longer than buying gas (physics!)
And batteries are probably not going to be really light ever.
In physical terms, EV uses a lot more energy than Gas.
It take energy to generate electricity, energy loss in transmission, battery loss in charging, discharging,
EV engine loss, and all the energy needed to carry those heavy batteries around!
It is just that we do not see the energy in EV.
We see gas, but electricity somehow appears in the jack, not seen, not emitting.
And gas is heavy taxes, while electricity is subsidized.
So people may see savings where there are none, just by gov actions.

Government! Please, do not try to fight Physics!
Laws of Physics (God laws) trump any Government laws!

When battery technology catches up with the dream, they'll come back. Until then it was simply an idea before it's time.

********

May be so but......
Battery powered vehicles for travel aren’t in the script yet.
Yes they can be used for short trips around town, delivery
of goods, mail, etc. But long haul, large loads, miles aren’t
in the picture yet.

When do you think ships, air planes, trains, etc will become
a part of the picture? How many years after we are dead and
gone will battery power become the mode of power? Nuclear
is going to become more involve as time progress. jmo

EVs will be competitive with petroleum powered vehicles about 20 years after fusion power is commercially implemented.

They are not idiots. The issue is they have evil intent.

I don’t want to drive a toaster oven.

There’s always the ‘’good ‘’ reason and the ‘’real’’ reason in life and the real reason here is the elimination of oil.

Oil is the black blood of a free people. Control that and you control people.

I hope you have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas madame.
