If the product is so great then the democrats would not need to mandate them.

Indeed so. If the product was great then the democrats would want to BAN THEM!........................

Meanwhile...

Lithium shortages threaten Europe’s electric car transition Without homegrown supply of key battery component, Europe could struggle to compete with China

That's the EU's intention, isn't it...

Well, the EU’s Deep State, anyway.

Note to Europeans: You have the same problem the US does, folks.

But you don’t have a Trump.

Then there's this...

Coal-fired projects back on, mega lithium battery storage push in new power policy blueprint The renewable energy thrust of the last ten years also means a projected battery storage requirement in 2031-32 of between 51 GW to 84GW and assumes a daily usage rate of 5-hours.

Behibd a payday, but from the headline you can guess where some of our record coal exports are going thanks to our Deep State's war on coal...

Okay, one more. Lithium related, and a few days ago, France. From my things-that-make-you-go-hmmmm file....

Data center fires raise concerns about lithium-ion batteries Data center fires aren't common, but they can be devastating. As use of lithium-ion batteries grows, enterprises need to be aware of the risks, Uptime Institute warns.

This is just what the EV movement is for... The elimination of private individual transportation. The fact that it undermines the petrol dollar is a bonus. If you have the freedom to go where you wish when you wish the inner circle can’t control your movements.

Mahindra makes a near duplicate of the 1946 Willys jeep but it can’t be legally road driven due to the government safety regs. Yet you could buy a real 46 with bad rings and worn out brakes with a death wobble and that could be easily registered and road driven.

It’s not about choice. It’s about limiting your freedom to move around and to exert government control purportedly for the environment but in reality it is just to control you and your desires and aspiration to the extent they run contrary to those who seek to control.

Ford and GM were both losing market share to the critical level beyond the Tesla disruption

Ford had pretty much ceased car productuion making trucks and SUV’s. GM was not doing well either and was more dependent on trucks but still churning out cars with no profit. GM received all of it’s profits from China. Chrysler is now Jeep.

It is my projection that there will be two companies that will be the major players in the coming 5 years. Toyota will sell hybrids and Tesla will sell electrics. Others will drag along.
