“Automakers from Ford Motor and General Motors to Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans,” reports CNBC.
The headline says it all: “EV euphoria is dead. Automakers are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans.”
Yeah, there’s a shock.
Gee, why-oh-why would people not want to purchase a super-expensive vehicle that can take more than an hour to charge — and that’s if you can find a charging station?
For years, the automotive industry has been in a state of EV euphoria. Automakers trotted out optimistic sales forecasts for electric models and announced ambitious targets for EV growth. Wall Street boosted valuations for legacy automakers and startup entrants alike, based in part on their visions for an EV future.
Now the hype is dwindling, and companies are again cheering consumer choice. Automakers from Ford Motor and General Motors to Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans.

It requests the alcohol content of the E85 which is posted on the pump and provides all the needed measurements and final output including ethanol percentage already in the tank. I have to excercise while it stopped raining it’s not like I’m the only one that does this sure works out better with no ethanol super unleaded because then you get to add more of the E85 with the higher octane
As Planet Earth inhabitants we Have,
,to this point, lived in Amazing Times.
The Storm clouds are gathering and everything could turn bad very quickly.
I’ve been a ‘follower’ but since covid I’ve come to a point where I’m at peace
with the Final Countdown-—so to Speak.
That Peace alone is worth having FRiend.
Poetic and thought provoking.
Use final octane calculators from mixes like here : https://www.morepowertuning.com/emix
“Imagine not wanting to burn truckloads of cash? Mr. Biden will not be happy.”
Mr. Biden doesn’t care one bit.
The political EV push is for votes and control. Whether you buy an EV doesn’t affect either of those goals. You just won’t own a new car and Biden thinks that’s a good thing. Only the ruling class should be able to own cars. The rest of us should ride in buses or light rail.
You are running E40. Have you changed your injectors and tune?
I don’t run that much only 15% alcohol. I dont want any mods right now
Someone already posted here why EVs. Mostly an expensive status symbol, for the vain among us. The rich and the vain.
The loony can buy as they choose. It’s their money....mostly. I say mostly b/c of all the taxpayer money wasted - and still being wasted - because of the gov’t. pushing these inefficient autos.
I love my pet Tesla, but that was funny.
An E4O mix with no ethanol super would require more E85 than super unleaded whereas I just just a fraction of E85 to super no ethanol usually around 25% or so
E40 mix with my fuels would be over 99 octane
“I don’t run that much only 15% alcohol. I dont want any mods right now”
That would be about 93 octane.
“E40 mix with my fuels would be over 99 octane”
You said you were mixing E85 with 91 octane clear.
“whereas I just just a fraction of E85 to super no ethanol usually around 25% or so”
25% of E85 yields E21.
All you have to do is plug in the proper values into the calculator. This stuff is all over the web.
E85 doesn’t contain the same amount of alcohol from brand to brand. You have to know that value. Mine is not 85%
You figure it out smartass
Regardless, you have to run greater than E20 to get 95 octane with 91 clear.
E15 only gets you to 93.
I’ll go with the E85 experts and their excellent calculators plus the alcohol rating I alone have on the pump while you try to sell battery crap to people who don’t want it
You’re too dense to understand I’m allowed to add more of the E85 to reach my goal because it’s not 85% alcohol
