Unless and until the technology VASTLY improves, EVs are silly and I will not buy one.

The EPA rule is unconstitutional.

SCOTUS has already said that it is.

However, Big Government crony Big Auto doesn't have the spine to fight the EPA in court.

Meanwhile, our Deep State is exporting record amounts of our energy.

And it looks like Europe’s Deep States are backpeddling on the EV crap.

Apparently everyone has forgotten the lesson of Central Planning that the Soviet Union taught us.

Makes me want to purchase several gas powered cars for safe keeping and investment.

Didn’t SCOTUS just make a ruling a year or so ago that massively curtailed this federal thugocracy’s power to write these kind of laws??

There is NO plan for the massive expansion required of the electrical grid. That says a lot. And, Biden’s 20 year moratorium on lithium mining in the USA so all batteries have to come from China.

If this were truly environmental they could mandate hybrids which would cut gas demand by about 75% and not require a grid expansion.

Ford, GM and Dodge might as well hang it up.
No one is going to buy an EV from them.

Prediction: It will precipitate a huge move to preserve older ice cars. I would invest in high-end transmission rebuilders and premium wear parts for popular older cars.

This line made me laugh. Even the low end of the EPA’s 2030 range is 4 percentage points higher than the 2021 goal, which came after strong pressure from President Joe Biden.

Joe don't know what F'in day it is...let alone the year.

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the turbine freight
To far outside the wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits

[Chorus]
Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty-odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

[Verse 2]
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time
We fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

[Bridge]
Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Suddenly, ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase

[Chorus]
Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I’ve got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside

I got a feeling that the price of used ICE cars will skyrocket.

What if 54% don’t want an electric coal powered car Joe?

They’ll buy nothing and destroy the car business and your stupid plans.

So funny to see the media proclaim that these rules will spur EV sales. Not happening.
Used cars will get more expensive. The dangers and failings of EV cars are becoming more well known, more obvious and the ecologic & human disasters associated with their manufacture & disposal are glaring.
