Two things Americans will never give up. Guns and cars.

Gas prices went up too quickly. The Left messed up. They needed to play the long game on EVa and gas prices. They will probably get their way eventually even though they were a bit rash with their actions this time around.

Yes, they have. They have used technology very effectively so far. But I don’t think we have seen anything yet. The Chinese are getting a glimpse.

Concur, but I think we already passed that point. I believe that point was the election. That was their big move, their weakest point. They have done nothing but reinforce themselves ever since.

When we say “that’s it” we will find that all of our ammo was sent to Ukraine. All of our energy was sent to China. All of our food has been destroyed, our supplies are non existent, and our money is worthless.

I suspect our numbers will be shaky at that point. That’s when the armies come in.

It is! It affords people much greater freedom. Everybody, not just the king and his staff. we can move around at leisure, we can eat Kobe beef, we can do all the stuff they can. If we work real hard or come up with a great idea, we can even have a driver and a Rolls-Royce!

The commies hate that.

“I can jump in my 2003 V8 Tundra and drive 500 miles nonstop. In 5 minutes or so, I am ready to drive another 500.”

18 hours! ROTFLMAO!

Then tax you per mile you drive to replace gas fuel taxes from Feds and States currently collect.

EV electricity is subsedized now.

If I have an ev car it would be an extra 200 to 300 per month in electricity.

Did you click on the link?
It is from a NC law firm's website that explains what a person will have to pay, to install one in their car, after a DUI conviction.
Its not something that can be bought. Its been bandied about among the left in NC to legislate that these devices become standard equipment on all cars. Yes its an insane idea but thats the world we are living in.

“EV electricity is subsedized now.”

Nope.

“If I have an ev car it would be an extra 200 to 300 per month in electricity.”

At 12 cents per kwhr that is 2500 kwhrs.

At 35 kwhr / 100 miles that is 7000 miles a month.
$1500 per month.

EV savings = $1200 per month or $14,000 per year.
A gas car getting 20 mpg would cost you


The average electric car kWh per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi) is 34.6. This works out as 0.346kWh per mile. In other words, on average, electric cars consume 34.6kWh to travel 100 miles and 0.346kWh to travel 1 mile.
