Do away with gas fireplaces, and gas appliances, gas water heaters and furnaces - mandate EV’s - and what do you think happens to the price of Electricity?

That’s the Plan

The president of Toyota said Toyota will not build many EVs until the infrastructure can support them.

A whole lot more four year old children are going to be needed in the cobalt mines to keep up with the demand.

If they’re building that many, someone told them they’ll be mandated by Law

Somebody from Biden Administration probably told them. My guess most states will ban new ICE vehicles by 2035. A federal ban by 2040? Then there will be a carbon tax on gasoline. You can drive your old ICE vehicle but it will be expensive. By 2050, gas stations will be banned. No one will use gas except for the military.

“Ford plans to build 500,000 EVs annually at its $5.6 billion Tennessee campus”

Really. How many does it plan on selling?

Toyota is the only automaker that is not bowing down to this kind of pressure.

Toyota is betting on a DeSantis presidency. Other automakers are placing their bets on Newsom (by 2028).

Insanity. The electrical grid can’t support EVs, and they are doing absolutely nothing to change that.

While the ruling class may think turning the middle class into sessile serfs is a great plan, the technology that lets that ruling class live a comfortable life depends on large numbers of highly educated and/or skilled people.

The drive to achieve that education and hone those skills depends on those people seeing a concrete benefit to themselves by doing so. Nobody is going to bother getting an engineering degree to earn minimum wage and live in a dump they can never leave.

The Democratic Party Elite will be able to buy EVs, ordinary folks like us will take mass transit. Hope you like taking the bus.

I cannot believe that a vehicle purchase has become political.
Automakers are being forced to sell EV’s and are making up for their losses by tagging on higher prices for ICE vehicles. I cannot afford their political correctness. I need a truck that will tow a trailer and will last a long time and I won’t be lectured to by an automaker by proxy about saving the planet.

I think the automakers are hedging their bets. Right now, they see that Generation Z is woke and they are all about saving the planet. So they will make the EVs even though there's no practical need to manufacture them.
