When President Joe Biden announced in the White House August 5 that he wants half of all cars and trucks sold in the United States to be Electric Vehicles (EV) by 2030, the loudest applause may well have been in Beijing.
Biden told an assembly of labor and political leaders as well as top executives from General Motors, Ford and Stellantis N.V. — which owns Chrysler, Dodge and Ram — that he signed “an executive order setting out a target of 50 percent of all passenger vehicles sold by 2030 will be electric and set into motion an all-out effort.”
The order also directs creation of a national infrastructure of 500,000 charging stations to service the projected boom in electricity demand for EVs and expanded federal tax credits as purchase incentives for consumers. Biden also wants huge increases in federal spending on research to develop new battery designs that can be made in America.
Finally, he directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to raise federal fuel economy standards for the internal combustion-engined cars and trucks that now make up 96 percent of the vehicles on the nation’s streets and highways.
All told, according to a White House Fact Sheet, “today’s announcements would put us on track to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new passenger vehicle sales by more than 60 percent in 2030, compared to vehicles sold last year, and facilitate achieving the President’s goal of 50-52 percent net economy-wide greenhouse gas emission reductions below 2005 levels in 2030.”

I will keep driving my 2019 Jeep HEMI; f-ck you, Bidet&Co punks.
Electric clean energy vehicles and potatoes on Mars. Both are fiction. Follow the science......
They’re revving up for the NWO . . . dictating when, where and how you drive and fuel your engine.
Middle finger salute signal lamp lens covers might become popular.
We’ll, the Biden family is in business with China, so this is good.
>>I will keep driving my 2019 Jeep HEMI; f-ck you, Bidet&Co punks.<<
Right and I’ll keep my 2021 Chevy 2500 6.6ltr monster tootling down the road for years to come just to torque these leftist.
Heard 2025 would exhaust battery supplies?
“I will keep driving my 2019 Jeep HEMI”
Until Commie Joe orders all refineries closed. Or at least all gasoline filling stations closed. Or he taxes filling stations to death forcing 3/4 of them to close. Or he jacks up the federal gas tax 100X. Or he orders a dozen more pipelines shut down. Or he orders you to turn your Hemi over to “underprivileged and underserved” poor Mexican invaders who can’t afford such a nice vehicle. Or, or, or...
The tyrant has unlimited ways to force you to put your Hemi up on blocks...IF he lets you keep it.
Biden is a Communist tool.
The founders made a bad mistake by not putting more shackles on the federal government. I don't know how they could have done that, but the GD beast has slipped its noose and is crushing us all.
There Won’t Be Enough Batteries to Fulfill the Industry’s EV Promises, AutoWeek, July 21, 2021.
I don’t understand why fuel can’t come from Industrial Hemp seeds. It’s the ultimate in green energy, even Ford himself pitched hemp cars which are just as strong as steel.
Absolutely.
Hemp makes the best paper too, which was why William Randolph Hearst started the war against it because it competed with his newsprint business.
Unexpected.
Everyone buying one better get a 10,000 watt solar array to charge them too, since the national grid can barely supply the ones operating now.
And get a bicycle for every family member for the cloudy days.
And I’m not sure where apartment dwellers are going to be able to install those solar arrays; There won’t be many single family homes left when Biden, Gates, Klaus Schwab , Blackrock and the other giant hedge-funds etc., destroy the ‘kulaks’ and force everyone to share rental houses with another family or two.
