By “heavy goods vehicles”, tractor-trailers is meant.

Brian Caulfield makes Holden Caulfield seem tolerable.

Government versus the people.

Again.

It reminds me of the joke about the dog food company that introduced a new product that, in spite of a strong marketing campaign, failed. They tried other strategies that still failed. Finally, an employee offered his opinion: “Maybe the dogs don’t like it.”

If the government mandated the dog food, they would make the dogs eat it whether they liked it or not. When they get hungry enough, they will eat it.

People are wishing up to the scam that the current EVs are, long charging time vs mileage, no resale worth after so many recharging cycles and the combustibility factor.
These make the average consumer wince at putting down hard to earn money for a rich man’s golf cart.

A good government will listen to citizen complaints, and make adjustments.
A bad government will ignore citizen complaints, and turn up the pressure.

I’m guessing that Ireland will go the second route. And so will we if the Democrats cheat their way to a win this November.

Trump or bust.

Communist “Red” China is not alarmed. All of their Electric Vehicles are produced and sold at a loss.

Because Communist China funds “global warming” political-and-social agitprop and EV production in order to cause the collapse of (from its perspective) foreign economic and industrial “might.”

I hated having to read "Catcher in the Rye." Holden Caulfield was an insufferable pus-head. The only thing more painful to read was "Death of a Salesman." It was the written equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard.

It's safe to say that I did not enjoy my HS English classes.

Yeah, and I’m sure that fires like the Mercedes in Korea that burned and took 8 hours to put out and damaged other cars is so much better for the environment.

I wonder how many gas powered vehicles worth of emissions that fire produced, not to mention the firetruck and services that were used in running the truck, transporting and caring for the injured in the hospital, the damage done to other vehicles that need to be replaced and/or repaired, and clean up in the after math.

“The decline in electric vehicle sales is “very worrying” from a climate perspective, an expert has said.”

Get a bleeding ulcer from worry.

Decline in Explosive Vehicles is the best thing for the environment. Provable using real science.

most EV purchases were made by virtue-signalers and fools ... they make zero economic sense when total costs (including resale value) vs their limited utility is rationally considered ... still, the virtue-signalers and fools found all of that out the hard way, and MOST won’t be doing it again ... thus end of the EV nonsense ...

Let’s end all of the subsidies to electric vehicles, and see how they do in the real world.
