RE: We are heading for an EPIC COLLISION now as the Biden bunch will effectively OUTLAW the production of gasoline vehicles, including hybrids, by 2030.
Great post.
So many here say “no matter, I will always choose my gas vehicle” and they assume they will have a choice. They won’t.
What if you want a new non catalytic converter car?
Thx That’s a car for a teen and his gf boyfriend.
Ford takes second in US EV market after sales climb 86% as lower prices take effect
You can currently get $3,000 off and zero percent 72 month financing on a Mustang Mach-E.
This is on top of the $8,100 MSRP price slash that Ford implemented in February.
And still don’t want the pile of junk. 80% depreciation when you drive off the lot.

Will they still be in business in 2030?
You would have to know a lot about how the computer(s) that run the car work and how to program them. It would be along the lines of reprogramming the basic input output system in your desktop or laptop only more complicated with less publicly available software “tools” available and a much smaller base of individuals with this type of knowledge.
“Hybrids” are very complicated beasts, much more complicated than either electric or hydrocarbon fueled vehicles. This is especially true of the transmissions which have to take in energy from both the engine and the motor/generator. It would be more of a challenge than anyone who I know could take on... and I know some very adept people.
The actual way to do it would be to get another non-hybrid version of the same car - that had been totaled and try to transplant the engine, transmission, electronics, and other items into your dead hybrid.
“So many here say “no matter, I will always choose my gas vehicle” and they assume they will have a choice. They won’t.”
As you get at, one can ‘choose’ to keep their gasoline car...but in 2040 or so, they’ll need a refinery in their backyard if they plan to turn on the engine.
