Till the GRID CRASHES.Or an app glitches. Tesla recently had an issue with their app and it locked hundreds of owners out of their Teslas until the glitch was fixed.

You just made me realize that as this foolishness progresses, Electric Vehicle pirates will be active around long haul charging stations. How will the queer little snowflakes survive that eventuality?

Actually, he’s correct (at least on the top layer of analysis) - because there never have been any electric power plants that run off of gasoline. What they have to worry about (again, directly) is the price of coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear power...oh, and its availability. We in Texas had a bit of experience with that latter factor last winter - the wind and solar crap didn’t work out well for us at all.
Further down the analysis chain, those with electric cars DO and WILL need to worry about the price of gasoline - because over 90% of the nation’s vehicles are powered by it or by diesel (which is closely linked in price to gasoline, for obvious reasons), and if the price gets too high, the economy will turn down quite a lot (take a look at 2008, when oil went to nearly $150/bbl., putting the economy into a tailspin that almost collapsed it with the irresponsibility of the mortgage lenders).
Pete Buttreamer doesn’t know schit from Shinola (but that’s not exactly news, is it?).

"The people who stand to benefit most from owning an EV are often rural residents who have the most distances to drive, who burn the most gas, and underserved urban residents in areas where there are higher gas prices and lower income," Buttigieg said. Wrong on all counts. The people who stand to benefit the most from owning an EV, are urban residents who are middle-class who own their own home, have a garage, and own a second car that is ICE.
Lower income people in urban areas rely on public transportation, ride-share like Uber, and generally rent in living quarters without garages or the means to plug in an EV.
Rural residents rely on ICE vehicles to travel long distances.

No one can be that stoopid.

How about bringing back cheap econobox cars with manual transmissions and manual windows. Like the Chevette. They weren’t stylish, but they got the job done without costing a fortune.
To: diplomatic_immunity
How about electric bills??????????????????
If you have all electric house with well water on an electric pump, and power goes off, you can’t get water for a drink or a bath. You can’t do dishes. You can’t flush toilets. No lights. No heat. And it DOES happen.
Just adding a million electric cars to the grid, no problem??????????????
