Hook Line and Sinker. The sheep are taking the bait.
Penny wise,!pound foolish…
A combination of ignorance on the part of consumers and outright falsehoods from the media regarding how “energy efficient” these vehicles are.
All by design
It seems tempting, but I don’t feel like taking out a mortgage just to fund battery replacements every 5 years.
Suckers.
Anyone who wants to drop $100K on a Tesla, or a electric Hummer, or a F150 Lightning doesn't have to worry about the cost vs gas.
Electric vehicles have advantages and disadvantages when compared to an ICE vehicle.
Performance and insane acceleration are electric vehicle advantages over almost any ICE vehicle.
Range and road trips are disadvantages over ICE vehicles.
I think that electric vehicles have reached the "knee point" in the curve where they are practical enough for widespread adoption, and the market agrees with me.
I however, won't own one until I'm forced to. But I do understand anyone who does own one.
Makes about as much sense as: soaring hamburger prices create high demand for fillet mignon.
Oh, okay then. I mean you just plug them into any 110/120 volt wall outlet service right? Just like a plug in skill or something.😕🙌
The Left plans to have everyone in an EV by their Magic Rainbow date of 2030
“Electric cars make NO sense at this stage of development.”
A huge number of Americans operate on feelings, not reason. To them, they are “saving money” while “saving the planet”.
In reality they are doing neither, but you can’t convince them, the media is far too strong.
Do they ask where electricity comes from? : Power plants
Do they do the simple math to see what it costs vs a gas powered car? : Depends on the car. Some like the ease of filling up cheaply at home.
Do they care about the required maintenance? : What maintenance? EV’s are practically maintenance free.
I just don’t get it. Electric cars make NO sense at this stage of development. : Why not?
It’s pretty easy to understand actually. It’s like direct taxation vs indirect taxation.
No shortage of people wanting to stick it to corporations who just pass on added taxes to consumers. But if people see a nickel and dime tax increase added to a bill they notice it and scream.
People see the price at the gas pump increase 40% or more and want to take action. They see that extra cost. Why don’t they just scream at democrats? educational systems and successful MSM propaganda. They have become conditioned to feeling guilty in gasoline cars. In their minds the Al Gore chickens have finally come home to roost.
Electric car energy prices will get buried in with the rest of their electricity with no easy way to know how much their electric car costs.
The dems are smart in that this move to electric cars will more centralize energy which is easier for them to control and throttle.
Stupid is as stupid does.
We have a free plug in in our town...Wait till they have to pay.
high gas prices equals high EV sales - that is what the green agenda is all about.
BULLCRAP
Uncle Joe told the it’s a good way to save money.
