It is now:
1. Pot-fueled half-a$$ed idea
2. Taxpayers pay me money.
3. Government requires taxpayers pay me more money.
Someone loses repeatedly in the above.
I bought a Mazda GLC in the 1970’s. Mazda thought thru the factory and showroom part as well as the take the money part but it stopped there. It was a happy day for me the day I got rid of that piece of Biden!

And EV breakdowns are catastrophic. One problem with the battery and poof. There goes the car or you need a new battery pack. I would imagine ol’ Jimbob down the street can rebuild one of those electric controllers or a huge DC motor in his garage on the weekend. Oh, a wire loose? No biggie. Oh wait, that’s a wire to the entire control system which will need replaced.
Hence why government is FORCING them on us. They are crap but there are trillions to be made.
“Quiet, non-polluting, cheaper to operate than a gas-powered vehicle, right?”
Non polluting? The power for EVs is largely produced by coal and natural gas plants, not windmills. Just because the pollution doesn’t come out of the tailpipe doesn’t mean it isn’t produced.
