There is far more to Biden and the other ‘elite’s’ plan with electric vehicles than saving the planet … in fact, we’re pretty sure the ‘planet’ has very little to do with any of this push to make us all reliant on green energy that is in no way adequate for our energy needs.
John Hayward put together an exceptional (as usual) thread on what they’re really up to:

Spoiler alert: the endgame of the "electric vehicle revolution" is NOT the same number of people driving around, except using EVs instead of gas-fueled cars. The endgame is sharply restricting or eliminating personal transportation for the middle and lower classes.

More power is ALWAYS the endgame, don’t let them tell you any different.
********************************************************
Hat tip to @TXOdysseus for pointing out in this thread that there aren't enough vital minerals in the entire world to "replace" the internal combustion engine with batteries. It's an empirically demonstrable fact. Those profiting from the "EV revolution" are well aware of it.
*********************************************************
Of course, they are.
********************************************************* Subsequent TWEETS :
And what of the Third World? If it's physically impossible to build enough EVs to "replace" cars on a one-to-one basis, what happens to the places that need affordable internal combustion engines to develop industry? They're being consigned to eternal pre-industrial poverty.
It's outright imperialism, especially when you look at what actually happens to the countries where our "green" visionaries are happy to unleash rapacious Chinese corporations to rip Mother Earth to shreds. Global dreams of expanding a prosperous middle class will be shattered.
The genuine demand for electric cars is very nearly zero, and always has been. If they were sold at realistic prices, without titanic subsidies forcibly extracted from taxpayers, there would be maybe a hundred of them in the entire world, driven by virtue-signaling idle rich.
We have been forced to finance our compulsory transition away from reliable and affordable personal transportation. If this was any other industry, the Left would be screaming bloody murder at the cronyism, corruption, profiteering, and staggering environmental damage.
The environmental promises of electric cars are a total sham as well. It takes a very long time for an EV to reach the same net "environmental footprint" as a modern automobile, especially if we're not allowed to use nuclear power to charge them, and the cost/mile is staggering.
The cost/mile factor is important, not only because the middle class will be impoverished by the compulsory adoption of EVs, but because environmental sensitivity is a luxury of prosperous societies. Raise the cost of everything for EVs and people will get dirtier in other ways.
Existing national power grids cannot come close to handling a 1-to-1 transition from autos to EVs. Again, the people doing this to us are very well aware of it. If we're forced to sacrifice reliable power sources for expensive solar and wind junk, the shortage gets much worse.
Everything that could come close to making these calculations work out for EVs is highly speculative technology, if not outright science fiction. We've got collectivist plans that dissolve into penciled-in question marks 5 and 10 years out. Maybe hydrogen fuel cells will pan out!
So the plan is clearly to reduce the number of people with access to personal transportation, especially with enough range to give them control over careers and lifestyles. The lower classes will move around less. They'll use public transport. More of them will cluster in cities.
Not so for the elite, of course. THEY will have reliable transportation. They will be allowed to fly. Not a single member of the political or corporate upper crust will ever be obliged to plan their business or leisure around the lack of at-will long-range individual transport.
There are quite a few states in the U.S. where it would be impossible for many residents to drive across state lines if they were forced to use EVs. It would take days of driving and recharging - assuming the titanic investment of building enough charging stations was made.
It's already clear to most people in the lower and middle class that EVs are unaffordable. Sneering elitists snottily ordering hard-working family folks to throw down $60k plus staggering maintenance costs to replace their lovely $20k sedans should be causing an uprising.
You should rise up not only because you're being ordered to pay for those incredibly expensive, unreliable, shorter-range EVs - but because the toffs giving those orders KNOW YOU CAN'T DO IT. They're the same people who accuse employers of exploitation over minimum wage jobs.
If people supposedly can't make a living at anything close to the minimum wage NOW, what happens when personal transportation costs 3x or 5x as much? They KNOW you can't afford that. They know you'll surrender freedom of movement after they make it unaffordable.

I’m a conservative because there is so much about the American tradition that is worth conserving. I worry that people aren’t as frightened of authoritarians and totalitarians as they should be. Freedom and capitalism are inseparable, because without capitalism, freedom just means shouting your opinion and hoping somebody important is listening.
Spot on. Great read
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” ........................
You’ll own nothing and like it.
The Big Reset is in motion. They’re not kidding.
They want us to be chained to our jobs and never leave town, like in the movie “The Truman Show”.......................
Wilkow has been saying this for about 2 years. It’s literally forcing us into public transportation....It’s far easier to control and cattle us the way they want.
The US does not have the electrical infrastructure to support any significant number of electric cars.
They are blocking the construction of more electric energy infrastructure to handle the electric car demand. On the surface it appears the electric car plans. seems irrational and absurd. This realization makes it all make sense
The solution is to restrict the use of electric cars.
Bicycles, mopeds and Segways......................
Yuppers,
Your Papers Please!
.
No Soup for YOU!
The Truman Show,,,
Absolutely Correct 💯 just add
IDIOCRACY When they shut down
Frito Bendahos’ car as ‘Not Sure’
Is inside It.
.
CONTROL!
I foresee a new Dark Ages coming on.....................1000 years of despair and ignorance..............
Electric vehicles also are DANGEROUS (explosions, fires, etc.), and use Chinese-owned materials that are mined via slave labor! They are thus threats to American security.
Don’t mandate EVs—BAN THEM!!!!
Ignorance is already partying heartily. Despair is limited to those who can foresee the consequences.
It’s about control.
It’s always has been.
Limit the range at which people can move. It’s proven that EV’s have at best 1/2 the range of an ICE vehicle.
Stop all movement.
Shut the power off to those uppity MAGA types so they get stranded.
The plan is to REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE - period
Lot of vehicles today have 2000 dollar headlights.
So minor impact >> major repairs.
This. Overheard the well traveled mother of an ex-employer of mine say: Jack and I travel all over the world and notice the workers in many other countries don't have cars or nice houses. Why can't our workers be like that?
“I worry that people aren’t as frightened of authoritarians and totalitarians as they should be.”
If you don’t have an elected pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county, you should be frightened. This sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to take down gestapo cops and make your community safe. This sheriff also has the investigative power to throw thieving, lying democrats in state prison.
