In January 2022, Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Stellantis, a merger of Fiat, Chrysler, and Peugot to form the world’s fifth-largest carmaker, said EVs were “a technology chosen by politicians” and “imposed” on the auto sector.

I'm glad to see someone in the industry repeating this simple truth.

Since there is nowhere to flee, perhaps more appropriate -
"When backed into a corner by an aggressor there are only two choices...fight or surrender."

Jay Leno in his 1909 Baker Electric. Like he said on his show, it will climb any hill, at 23 mph; he also compared it to driving a telephone booth.

The overall goal is to destroy personal vehicle ownership via multiple strategies. For control and containment.

Just where is this electric energy going to come from? With a power grid that’s max out as it is, and everyone plugging in their EV after dinner, where that energy going to come from? There’s no solar at night when all this charging is happening, are the power companies going to buy a bazillion dry cells? Given the US has virtually no rare earth mineral deposits for battery construction, Joe is just putting more of our money into the pockets of his Chinese friends with maybe a little skimmed off the top for “The Big Man”. This entire thing reeks of corruption and the Media says nothing.

my friend does geology tests in the desert. He explained to his leftard professors who push this crap that when he’s in the desert, he has extra gas cans.

If he drove an EV in the desert, where does he charge? To a boulder? To the mountain? That shut up these clowns.

Also, the EV ‘technology’ is not welcome everywhere. Some European ferry services have banned EVs due to the battery fires. Some New York buildings have banned e-bikes and scooters due to battery fires.

While touting faster and faster charging times, they do not address the DAMAGE done when fast charging. Finland announced a new supercharger that could charge an EV in 15 minutes. No word on the significant damage such rapid charging inflicts on the batteries.

Kalifornia recently closed a perfectly good natural gas electricity power plant, and placed Tesla batteries inside the same buildings used to CREATE electric power. There is no word on how the batteries are charged. In the few years this new and exciting battery plant has been active, it has closed down twice due to....yes....battery fires. Sometimes when it closes down, it is not back online for months. No
word on what the humans do for electricity during the shutdown.

These ridiculous regulations will only lead to more non-compliance. If the government will not allow people to register ICE cars, they'll just drive without plates. People are doing it now all over St. Louis without consequence because they don't want to pay the taxes.

When they ban the sale of gasoline, the trouble really begins.

CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a good gas and necessary for life. I think we’re in a CO2 drought right now.

Speaking of early antique cars, this snippet is prophetic:

September 13, 1913 Boston Evening Transcript:

"The Bailey Electric Roadster has startled the automobile world. An electric that will average 20 miles per hour for 100 miles on one charge is a distinct innovation in electrics, and for the first time puts the EV in the field as a direct competitor for the gasoline car".

Fast forward to today, same as it ever was.......

When you understand that the point of electric vehicles is to keep armed rebels from ever reaching D.C., it all makes sense. Collectivists always legislate against their fears, no matter how irrational.

One thing that is rarely mentioned is; at 30k miles the batteries have to be replaced at a cost of $30k dollars.
