What they really want is for us to be unable to get to Church!!!!
PHOOEY to them all!!!!
Already I am confused.
Does the Administration suggest that 40% of REGISTERED VEHICLES will be EV’s or the 40% of new car SALES will be EV’s? Let’s look at the numbers.
REGISTERED VEHICLES in 2021 in the US = 290,000,000
40% of 290,000,000 = 116,000,000
time to replace = 8.5 years
116,000,000 / 8.5 = 13,650,000 vehicles annually
average US auto sales (2019-2021) 16,100,000
84.5% of all US auto sales must be EV’s in order for this goal to be met. That’s clearly not going to happen.
Maybe they just mean new car sales?
NEW CAR SALES FOR ALL ALL VEHICLES
2019 = 17.1 million units
2021 = 15.1 million units
Average new car sales = 16.1 million units
40% of 16.1 million units = 7.25 million units
NEW CAR EV SALES
2019 = 240,000 (EV only)
2021 = 435,000 (EV only)
Average EV sales = 337,500 units
Required increase in sales over the next 8.5 years in order to reach 40% of all new car sales = 2150%
Not gonna happen.
It never does with these people. They spend their time and our money inventing these fantasies that are impossible to achieve. And it is not even a matter of ideology or political persuasion: it is simple arithmetic.
