EVs are such a great product it takes the force of government to make you buy them. No thanks.

Just 9 months after this White House ‘fact sheet’, Ford lays off 1,000 employees because of EV manufacturing losses amounting to $34,000 on each Ford EV sold.

and it took 9 months???

i mean it’s arithmetic...

Meanwhile, from a few days ago...

That’s $9.2 billion with a capital B.

It’s good to have low friends in high places.

“Ford has said it expects to lose $3 billion in operating profit on its EVs business this year.”.

Ford spent over $4 billion in 1980’s dollars to develop their modular engine concept leading to a very successful line of engines such as the 5.0 in the current Mustang.

I believe the Rivian truck weighs over 8000 pounds. Another issue is brake dust generated by EV’s. I know they have regenerative braking but you still have to stop the beast.

Or we will make a worse product out of cheaper parts of the product that we actually sell to pay for the unwanted product that we have to sell

no worries

the EVs are a ruse

the goal is to ban gas cars

nothing more

they know EVs suck and will not replace gas cars

the goal is to destroy private transportation

for the masses it will be shut up and get on the bus

With all that extra weight, when a EV hits you in an accident, your chances of living through it are slim

Sorry but the purpose of the commies is to eliminate inexpensive personal transportation. Also anything personal. Property, rights, etc.

EV’s pollute more than an eighteen wheeler when you add in battery mining and disposal.

I just traded out my hybrid, one year old, for a full-size pick up. The pick up was nearly 3 times the price, yet cost me $35 less per month for insurance. Go figure.

“Second, our obsession with centrally planned decarbonisation is causing all sorts of unintended consequences”

Unintended consequences? What an imbecilic thing to say, clearly the writer has an IQ challenge.
