I hate EVs so much. I used to be the first to say we should ban EVs, but it looks like the market for them is going to dry up before Trump will decide on an EO.

This was inevitable once the government stopped tipping the scales.

> Total losses from electric vehicles are expected to hit $16 billion. <

Stupid should hurt.

The real shame is that the politicians and the greenies who pushed this nonsense will just walk away. Then they’ll regroup, and try again.

Honda still has a great reputation for reliability and efficient gasoline engines. It is too bad they went all in on the EVs and ignored the warning signs that consumer demand was limited. Of course, they probably feared that many jurisdictions would outlaw internal combustion engines.

Winning...Thank God for Trump and the GOP. They did what they said they would do. I have an old Buick. It’s a guzzler but I don’t drive much anymore. I’m 82.

Seems like the only non-Chinese company actually making money on EVs is Tesla. It may be the only company in the world making money on EVs - I don’t trust anything any Chinese company claims about profit and loss.

They stopped making gas lawn mowers too. Bad move, IMO.

The new electric mowers cost twice as much as their already expensive gas mowers.

Honda Motors reported its first annual loss in nearly 70 years, which came as a result of an emphasis on electric cars.

Does that mean the company had to charge off the expense?

Biden’s EV mandate did it.
He seriously damaged Audi-Porsche-VW and MB
Trump had nothing to do with it.

Over educated morons running car companies that have zero common sense. Any idiot could see the EV’s were not going anywhere at this time.

I spent a couple of days in Rome earlier this year. LOTS of small cars but didn’t see one EV.

The approach to EV’s has been so wrong. I love EV’s in theory. The reality is they should be much cheaper with limited bells and whistles, along with a range of about 90 miles. In this way, they can just be an extra car for driving around town as 95% of daily driving is less than 80 miles.

That is what we did with ours until I sold it a couple of years ago - a 2015 Nissan Leaf that I put almost 85,000 miles on over 8 years.

They are best as just one of your cars.

Unfortunately, they keep approaching it like a replacement for ICE vehicles and gear them as “luxury”. The insane focus on unnecessary range increases has completely flipped the way EV’s should fit into the market on its head.
