... And because electric vehicles generally have 30% to 40% fewer parts and are simpler to build, fewer workers will be needed to assemble them. That will require a reshuffling of jobs, as workers who once made engines, transmissions and other components for gas-powered cars have to switch to electric motors and batteries...

No one will be camping or hunting with all electric vehicles...No charging station in the wilderness, etc.
Kill major recreation in the country.
I also would point out to all the LIBERALS:
While the USA is cutting out fossil fuels to ‘obtain cleaner air’-—NO OTHER country is doing so.
China has the worst air of all & the largest population.
Except CO2 isn’t a pollutant. CO2 is a plant nutrient. It took court action to declare it a pollutant (Which doesn’t really make it a harmful chemical).
And because electric vehicles generally have 30% to 40% fewer parts and the come from China Joe always pays back.
