I think we all know that issues get distorted when the media is pushing certain narratives.

It’s not as if Republicans and conservatives oppose electric cars. I think we oppose electric car MANDATES which seem impossible to achieve.

But it’s easier and more simplistic for liberals and media types to say that Republicans are against electric cars, and by extension,, are against doing things to have a clean environment.

Why such Republican hostility toward electric cars?


the unstated centralized authority mandate.

The stupidness of the idea.

That EV is good for some situations but not most.

etc

yep. they will blame republicans too when the EV crowd can’t get out of the path of the next big hurricane because they DIDN’T GAS UP THE ESCAPE VEHICLE! it will be all the republicans fault. one thing most conservatives have that completely escapes the liberal mind is the innate ability to extrapolate from given information. honestly...ask yourself IF you know or have ever met a liberal who has ever been able to exercise the fine art of extrapolation and you will find NONE. if they could they wouldn’t be democrats. just fyi.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm wants the entire U.S. military fleet to be electric by 2030

Words fail me.

Jennifer can’t remember her failed EV road trip and the US military will spend most of their time sitting around charging

Electric car mandates are unwise and unnecessary to achieve. They are certainly possible to achieve by jailing or killing everyone who drives an ICE vehicle, and the crazy Rats are certainly capable of doing that.

I was never against them. I do not think we are ready for them yet because our grid s in bad shape and they have yet to work out all the problems like weight, roads, EV charging, cold weather and water issues.

We should have stayed for a long time with our gas powered and kept improving hybrids until we were ready for total EV.

Which we are not.

The car industry says in 2 years EVs will make a big leap forward so why would anyone buy one now ?

Like Rush, I put the top down and the AC on full while driving on a hot day.
