What climate crisis? I don’t see a crisis.

The crisis I do see is the out of control spending and the lack of a border - not to mention the government promoting the mutilation of the children.

Do they have enough windmills and solar so they can take out Grand Coulee, et.al., and free the Columbia?

Are you suggesting that apartment-dwellers have no need of a motor vehicle?

"... for families deemed “low-income” to purchase an EV."

take either deal and they will be hopelessly in debt.

No, just that apartments usually have no way to charge an electric vehicle.

Where are low income residents going to plug in their electric vehicles? How will they afford the increased electric bills? Does low-income housing even have charging stations for EVs?

How long will it be before the EVs are stolen from the parking lots of low-rent housing where the low-income residents live?

That’s why Washington state is being run into the ground too. Same mentality as many poor people.

I just looked it up. For a base Tesla a three year lease is $330 a month. That price includes the EXISTING $7,500 federal tax payer rebate. One also has to put down $4,500.

So after three years you pay $16,500 for the car. Minus $9,000 of state tax payer’s money is $7,500 to have a car for 3 years.

I’ve never understood leasing a car, but there must be good reasons to do so in some circumstances.

Oh. Inslee has been pushing the transit system in Seattle and the suburbs (billions of dollars) in the name of climate change and “equality” of movement.

$5000.00 wouldn’t buy the spare tire for a Tesla. What a joke.

As opposed to single-family dwellings?!

Already in WA state we can get a rebate for the devoted EV chargers, and if you are poor they will rebate up to $2,000 for a new charger.

I doubt that will work in an apartment complex. At my MIL condo they have outdoor parking. I noticed one EV in the carport that covers 8 cars. It was parked at the end and using the double outlet which serves the entire carport.

I just looked it up - an overnight charge on a standard outlet will provide 30 to 40 miles of travel the next day. That would probably be doable for a lot of people. I’m not sure if a multi-strip and extension cords would be the best idea to add more than two EVs to the outlet.

Okay - just looked that up. According to the interwebs, one EV draws at 12 amps (or about 12 old-school 150 Watt light bulbs. So one EV is pushing close to a typical 15 amp circuit.

The Washington Dems have raised our property taxes and are spending what they received on do-nothing programs.
