The whole EV hoax is going to come crashing down soon.
Can’t wait.
The government is using regulatory dictates to essentially end production and sales of fossil fuel vehicles by 2025. It has no plan to ensure the electric generation capability will be available to supply sufficient power nor does it have a plan to upgrade the distribution network (grid) to supply the charging stations required to service all electric transportation. In addition the dictates of government bureaucrats and politicians are forcing auto manufacturers to divert capital spending to support the 100% electric future vision.
This policy is distorting the markets, resulting parking lots full electric vehicles for which there are no buyers. Every time a story comes out about overstated driving distance for electric vehicles, the 10 year limited battery life, battery fires destroying cars and homes, and the high cost of acquiring an electric vehicle average citizens continue buying fossil fuel vehicles despite the declarations of politicians and intellectuals that fossil fuel production will soon end.
Assuming the “hoax” does end at some future date, the nation will have wasted billions, if not trillions, of dollars in capital which could have been spent on viable projects. This nation is essentially doing the same thing China did building empty cities.
Wishing, doesn’t make it happen.
At some point in time we will come to rely on EVs when oil supplies are dwindled, the masses live in cities and drive only short distances, and cheap electricity abounds due to nuclear and geothermal production. That time is not now nor is our government working on meeting future electricity needs.
