They don’t even know what a road trip is.
Where’s all the electrical juice going to come from for a majority EV society? Oh, let’s add in electric stoves and HVAC. It’s not, they’re pushing us to a ration society they control. Total serfdom.
The forced EV conversion will be an amusing Epic Fail to watch. I am busy upgrading my 67 Camaro, 57 Bel Air and 49 Pickup to last another 20 years until the insanity subsides.
Authoritarian governments always seek to restrict travel.
The EV vs. ICE vs. Steam powered car war was fought over 100 years ago. ICE won; for a good reason.
They will hike fuel taxes 200%, 300%, whatever it takes to make us drive glorified golf carts.
I think another reason for the push against petroleum is that it gives the quasi-government run power companies a monopoly in the energy sector for the average American. Everybody will be forced to rely on the electricity that is coming into the home. Through taxation and regulations, the government will be able to set those prices and thereby control how much energy Americans will be able to use.
They can have my long range vehicle when they pry the steering wheel from my cold dead hands.
I will instantly perish if they take cars away. I drive a lot just for fun. In the last couple of months alone I have driven from Nashville to Myrtle beach on backroads. Round trips between Portland and Reno multiple ways, to Fort Bragg, Area 51, Chico, Tahoe and everywhere within 300 miles of Reno and between repeatedly. I don’t plan anything, I just drive somewhere every weekend. In the summer, I do deep desert dives where there ain’t no electricity or charging and I have two gas tanks on my desert vehicle so I can go days and days and days. If I F up and run out, well even that is easily solvable.
But the Dims think their ideas are so awesome they have to be forced onto people.
Soon we will learn about lithium battery radiation!
Elites don’t do road trips. They just hop on their private planes.
Why are we at the mercy of the Left? Screw them. Hard.
Notice how you never see somebody publish an analysis of private jets, in terms of carbon emission per passenger-mile, and suggest that private jets be banned and make all the elites travel in commercial cattle-car jets?
You just need a 12KW gas generator fitted into the Trunk, then you can stop for gas and recharge whenever you want to...
I hope I live to see the day when the leftist filth demolishing the prosperous West are reduced to cowering in their basements, fearing for their lives. It can’t come soon enough.
Fr a previous article posted today:
“If the current power grid can’t handle a night of 20 degrees temperatures without rolling blackouts, how are we going to plug-in 100 million electric cars at night?”
I will not comply.
And the reason California (and perhaps other blue states) are banning new ICE vehicles after 2035 is because they know California is such a huge part of the automobile market that manufacturers will inevitably go all-EV to save money, forcing everybody from sea to shining sea to at least consider buying one.
