“It makes me very curious when someone on my side spouts this prattle.”

Ev’s are not right or left. It’s just new technology. Do you really think the 220,000 + and growing preorders on the new F-150 lightning are being bought by liberals and hipsters?
The reason car co’s are wanting ev;s is it takes 1/3 of the labor to build and 1/2 the parts and warranty work will be about extinct saving them tens of billions in warranty work.

Hmmmm. That’s about 25% of the sales figures for the conventional F150, which seems about right. We conservatives tend to think things out thoroughly before we make a decision. The batteries in these vehicles end up worthless and difficult to recycle and dispose of, and the capacity and the infrastructure necessary to keep them going both doesn’t exist and will be difficult to build up. If I was going to make a decision on a car based on emotion rather than logic I’d rather buy a Hellcat to replace my Charger Pursuit than a Lightning.

25% of cars in the road being EVs isn’t going to happen, let alone 100%.
