EVs have their place but there are unintended consequences with them. It seems like only yesterday when eco conscious NIMBYs would lose their collective 💩 if ELECTRIC power lines were constructed with 10 miles of their houses. Over fears of getting cancer from the any radiation emitting from those lines. But it's OK to sit in an enclosed cabin just a couple of feet from a powerful electric motor, not to mention the potential fire hazard.
Now Chrysler is discountinuing the Hemi engine. Nothing like p*sing off your customer base. They learned nothing from the Bud Light fiasco. Even though they don't sell many Hellcats and other ultra high performance cars it's the image that draws in the customers. Once again, everything woke turns to 💩

Wishful thinking, whenever you think a Liberal idea can’t get anymore idiotic and the failed results are plain for all to see, Liberals will still always find a way to double/triple down on their lunacy.

So is putting an EV in your garage going to double or triple your homeowners insurance rate?

To be fair to Chrysler and other car makers, I'd be truly afraid of long term costs for engineering gas/diesel hungry cars/trucks out of fear the Dims will keep their promise and outright ban them. Combine that with ESG investing policies by pensions and such, the Dims have made a scary future for building ICE cars.
I'm not saying I like it. I just hate conflating Chrysler's decision with Budweiser's Dylan stupidity.

My wife has a 2009 Accord in great mechanical shape with only 77k miles on it. As it spent 9 years in Phoenix its paint is shot and it is checked and faded to crap. I think I am going to spend the 3500 to get it repainted and put new Michelin tires on it.

“EVs have their place but there are unintended consequences with them.”
I have yet to figure out what their place is.

The “green energy transition” has only been possible as a government social-engineering scheme over the last 20+ years due to: stronger trust in government, low-zero interest rates, a strong US Dollar, world peace, globalization, lower debt, and wider availability of strategic minerals needed.
ALL of those things are reversing strongly. We have seen windmill makers raising costs quickly and losing massive amounts of money in a short period of time.
Yes, woke Fed.gov will continue to push this on Americans, but the costs will rise quickly, as will opposition.

EVs are intended for the wealthy after the unwashed masses are denied ICE vehicles and outpriced out of EVs ... the unwashed will be forced to ride public transportation in the 15 minute cities.
