It’s not about the environment at all. It’s all about restricting the freedom to travel and live a free life.

under that regime, it will drive people into 2 or 3 dozen mega cities (see: Paolo Soleri, arcologies) were EV cars are economical, but even there, only the wealthy will be able to afford the vehicles and the power. Other city dwellers will be forced to use some form of electrified mass transit (see: frogs on slow boil). The rest of the country will be for the mega-Gates-class super rich.

My wife and I are in our early 80’s, and we got refunds back on insurance for our two vehicles for our low mileage due to the so called pandemic and lack of driving.

Last year the battery on my wife’s Lexus died from lack of use, and we got a new one under warranty.

The battery on my Ridgeline just died & had to be replaced. It died past warranty. The AAA guy said we needed to drive each vehicle about an hour at least once a week.

We could get by with one vehicle and in a few years sell the last one and use UBER and cabs.

However, our parents, both sets gone now, said to never give up your cars. As that was giving up your freedom.

Giving up our vehicles is all about restricting/losing our freedom to travel and live a free life to go where we want to and when we want to. Sometimes just to take a pleasure drive with no real need to drive.

Our siblings, cousins and friends in about our same age group, say that they will never sell nor give up their cars/vehicles. There are a few who should give up driving.

It worked with covid.. and under conservative leadership. Freedom left with the first mask mandate. Meanwhile it has come and gone just like every flu season.. same as the other 3 decades of flu season i watched in the hospital.

“It’s not about the environment at all. It’s all about restricting the freedom to travel and live a free life”

Younger mush heads (large percentage of Electric Buyers) don’t see it that way. Group think and woke acceptance is where it’s at. Monumental failure of Parenting.
