Some 282 million vehicles were registered in the United States in 2021. The figures include passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and other vehicles.

I hope this EV scam unravels before it goes much further.
“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
In plain English, electricity is going to get far more expensive.
Sinister= evil. CAFE has to go too.
They were never planning to
replace billions of ICE vehicles...
they are planning on
eliminating billions of ICE drivers.

Aside from outright market manipulation and subsidies benefiting the EV manufacturers and the component supply companies, one thinks to those pictures from Castro's Cuba, wherein "old" cars were kept running by very creative mechanics in the face of "market" shortages and such.
We've two older vehicles which we intend to keep running with regular maintenance by our local garage, although we are fortunate enough to buy with cash new "EV" models. Won't happen. Don't need them. The Cummins diesel Dodge hums along brilliantly.
As to Biden's (and Obama's) strategy:
US EV market struggles with price cuts and rising inventoriesAll the Buttigieg Marxists in the world -- as proven by those wacky Castro Marxists for decades -- isn't going to change things.

But they'll keep trying. And they'll keep failing. Cuba has already shown the 'future' -- and they did it 'yesterday'.
All you have to do is walk away from EVs by NOT purchasing them.
Buying an EV contributes to the loss of freedom in the USA.
Consider what a green utopia will look like. For the peons it will mean a standard of living on par with 100 years ago. Get used to hanging your washing out to dry on a clothesline, electricity is rationed so a few lights a fridge and a single TV is all you will get most days. Your $40,000 EV will only get a charge on certain days and times…think of gas rationing during WW-II. Blackouts will be common particularly during hot weather and cold winters. Expect to be swelter on hot days and freezing during the winter as indoor climate control will be mandated out of existence. Of course your travel will be restricted as you charging ration of of electricity will likely be tied to your social credit score. Any public criticism of the uni party will mean you will be walking or waiting for government run mass transit. Get used to eating synthetic foods as meat will be banned as well as hunting. Local farms that used to offer fresh produce will be regulated out of existence…only your government approved foods will be allowed.
Of course the ruling class and liberal elites will continue to enjoy the good life, fly in private jets to where ever they want, be driven in limousines and enjoy fine foods, air conditioning, warm homes and every other good thing we used to take for granted and are now denied.
Blaming “climate change” on atmospheric CO2 levels is like blaming a band-aid for the cut it covers.
The atmosphere converts climate into weather, period.
Other than that, the atmosphere plays no part in climate. Nor does any (trace) gas in the atmosphere.
Truest statement ever made about the WEF's plan of the "Great Reset" and the UN's Project 2030.
A division of the world population into 'Lords versus serfs' and controlled by the 'self-entitled' and 'un-elected'.
The term "Fossil Fuels" is the excuse to create the division.
An example of their aloofness is John Kerry
Besides being wildly impractical for many, how many people can even afford one? Buying a used one & not having a way of knowing the condition of many parts on it seems pretty absurd. The used one would probably cost more than most people could afford anyway. The electrical grid is hardly up to the task of what we need right now, let alone a few years down the road. From what I have heard, EV dealers would have to put up quite a bit of money to be able to sell & provide service facilities for them. Some dealers are already going out of business rather than to be able to afford sales & service for them. They are just a really,really bad idea. Want to drive something the government could easily control? Get an EV.
There’s something sinister with just about everything this government does.
