Were one to listen to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, or Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, one might come away with the impression that electric vehicles (EVs) are so popular, the government’s intention of mostly replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with EVs by 2030 was a foregone conclusion.
After all, the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) tells us they’ll build a half million fast chargers across America by then to handle the load, and they’ve allocated $7.5 billion we don’t have to that noble endeavor.
Confronting Secretary Pete with the fact that in two years his bureaucracy has managed to build only seven or so—one billion plus per charger!—produces much sputtering and stammering and no answers. As the meme goes, he’s so bad at his job, Americans actually know who the Transportation Secretary is, but more on that later.
Hertz unloading its EV fleet has been much in the news. Americans have a nasty tendency not to buy, or even rent, vehicles they don’t trust and don’t want. And now, even General Motors is beginning to bow to reality:
General Motors is trimming its expected sales and production of all-electric vehicles this year, as U.S. adoption of EVs occurs slower than expected.
GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said the company now expects production of its all-electric vehicles to range from 200,000 to 250,000 this year, down from a previously announced range of 200,000 to 300,000. The company has recently said it will produce volume to match demand, which is growing more slowly than had been forecast.
Jacobson thinks EVs make up about 8% of the market, which is less than EV cheerleaders have been claiming, and about the historic average. Don’t trust those numbers. Trust demand:

Perhaps this will finally reveal Elon Musk as the DeepState Carnival Barker that he is.
First off, just because dementia Joe and Buttiplug support EVS doesn’t mean they are bad. They quite good as a matter of fact. Reliable. Low maintenance. Low cost to run. Fun to drive. Most of the EV bashing now is coming from the left....why? Because they have MDS. Musk derangement syndrome.
I don’t believe we should be forced to get rid of our ICE cars and buy EVS. What we should do is tune out all the misinformation and try to understand why an EV ( Tesla Y) is the best selling automobile model in the world. Of any kind.
Then make a choice. By the way, Musk is your friend. How many other tech billionaires have allowed anything besides left wing opinions on their platforms? Zuckerberg? Bezos? Brin/and whomever runs google?
China is going primarily EV and whether we like it or not, China is eating our dust in manufacturing and tech. It needs to be in the mix. Take a test drive and decide.
I don’t trust the government to organize a BBQ.
Chest feeding faggot?? Wow! I mean effing wow! CFF. Charlie Foxtrot, Foxtrot. You are a effing genius. 🤣🤣🤣
I was just going to say, I bet you bid her a fond farewell, or maybe it was a get the heck out of my life, kind of farewell. 😆😃🤣
And I forgot to say. “Private Gump”! 😊
OK, I really had to suppress LOLing to avoid waking the wife after reading that last. Well done!
I rode the boats in the 70’s. My young UPS driver asked me what I thought of a Russian nuke boat near Florida. I told him they’d been there for years. We chased Ivan’s ass all over the Med and everywhere for years. Ain’t no big thing. They don’t want mutual mass destruction and neither do we. Putin damn sure wouldn’t do us a favor and nuke the rats nest in DC. I told him to watch out for foreign terrorist who they (assholes) in DC are letting in over the southern border. Russians like life same as us. Ragheads not so much
Wasn’t this the guy who couldn’t (or didn’t bother to) fix the potholes when he was mayor?
Even worse, his father was a big academic Marxist.
Where’s Texasgator and his
infaluable input and
Infinate wisdom on this
subject?
I saw someone mentioned this the other day. A link wasn’t provided. The drive was supposedly from Colorado to Illinois. It is not going to take a Tesla 4 days to go ~1000 miles via the interstate. I suspect if there is any validity to the story, the EV was an older EV with limited battery capacity and charging rate.
Is an electric vehicle collapse inevitable?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yep.
A collapse of our power grid is also inevitable, with these Green New Feel wingnuts in charge.
Before I retired, I lived 3 miles from work. I would have Charged up there. It would have worked for me. Now, not at all.
EVs are gay as hell. Of course nobody wants them except Pete Buttijuice and his kind.
Worlds Cheapest EV-from Chyna
$2,000

Unboxing, some assembly required
From a different video
It’s slow, range almost non existant, frame and suspension are VERY thin steel, spot welds, and so much not more
THIS is what we will be stuck with - thousands of unusable and environmentally dangerous EVs with dead batteries that Americans can’t afford to replace. What have the demoncraps proposed we do with the junked and dead cars which are are a diabolical eco disaster.

There are NO electrical plants being built to accommodate the additional need for more electricity to fuel these and Bidet hasn’t fulfilled his promise of building 500,000 charging stations. He has only built 7.

Tells you all you need to know - they want to force you to not be able to travel anywhere and be under their complete control.
Instead of bettering America, strengthening our financial future and our infrastructure, they have wasted the past 3.5 yrs pushing gender crap and trans BS on Americans - 98% of who don’t want any part of it.
And there’s this little problem:
You only need to understand one word.......Tesla
