“”Many said the U.S. was not ‘ready’ for such an aggressive EV push, as prices remained higher than internal combustion cars on average and the nation’s charging infrastructure is rather lacking.”

Prices are dropping like a rock though. Chevy has dropped the price of the Bolt by $10,000. At the $7500 tax credit to that and you can get one out the door for $22,500. Or a used one for $14,000 with the $4,000 tax credit.

If we can get that price we’re going to get one to just toodle around town. Our electric rates are low. We have a spot outside in case it decides to catch on fire. And we have other real cars to use the rest of the time.

Eventually, the govt wants to control the power generation companies ... they can charge whatever they want for a KWH, and 20% will go back to politicians under the table.

The EV market grew 40% YOY last year, and the fastest growth occurred in the 4th quarter. This is hardly an implosion. Some brands which switched over to electric with no prior experience in selling electric found that their intended audience hesitated shelling out the massive price increases which went along with the transition. Tesla meanwhile still can’t keep up with demand.

EVs are boutique cars with an already saturated market, Tesla got in first and the Johnny-come-latelys are the losers now.

...the big automakers are crying uncle, having lost billions trying to fill a demand that only exists in the fevered imaginations of the environmentalists.

Musk needs to move over to hybrids and lighter batteries until technology catches up with the dream. We need Elon Musk happy, wealthy and wise. He's one of our good guy protectors....
