EV’s are an “unsustainable” fad only kept on life support by massive Cabal subsidies. It’s exactly the same with the Climate Scam. If the presstitutes stopped writing about it, if western governments stopped funding it, the Climate Scam would nosedive faster than Michael Mann can sue his critics.
50% of US GM/Buick franchised dealers walk away from selling EV’s
The move came after the Detroit automaker gave them a choice: Invest at least $300,000 to sell and service EVs, or exit the Buick franchise.
Half of them headed for the exit.

Pandoras box is being sold to us a ultimate green gift to mankind- and it keeps on giving on all levels.
Way more dangerous,dysfunctional and destructive than any climate change could be.
My neighbor’s EV Volt battery exploded while parked in his garage charging. Total loss to car and garage. His insurance company is giving him a hard time because of GM’s recommendations to park it outside due to potential risks. No thank you
Modern internal combustion engines are not “dirty”. That statement is pure leftist propagandizing.
There are a lot of adjectives used willy-nilly in most Marxist rhetoric. If you ask them to give numbers, they just shout angrily, like they would at a charging grizzly bear. They are afraid of calculations.
There is also a fixed number of people who would by them new. But how long till they wake up. Recycle and Reuse does not exist for EV’s. Buy now waste later. LOL
some of you may have seen the story about the Duluth Minnesota public transit buses some are EV now. they aren’t working due to the cold and FYI we haven’t had any cold weather yet this winter in Minnesota. very happy about that because last winter was brutal
Duluth’s problem is repeated elsewhere–by EV passenger vehicles, heavy trucks, public trans buses and school buses.
Town staff REFUSE to use EV’s owned by the town. The risk of getting stranded by a discharged battery is too high. The heaters cannot be used throughout mid Maine’s frigid winters. And, the A/C cannot be used during the occasional hot summer days. So, they use their own ICE vehicles to conduct town business, sometimes at their own expense.
Most EV owners are simply virtue signaling: “I’m a wonderful ‘Save the Planet’ human being!” And good for them. But they don’t realize that coal is being burned somewhere to generate the electricity that powers their cars. And it drives me insane that they don’t comprehend that the EVs they are driving are energy inefficient compared to ICE vehicles.
There are a lot of used EV’s on the island where I live. Mostly Nissan Leaf’s. The range isn’t great but on a small island it doesn’t matter. A ride around the island is maybe 17 miles. I can go more than a week on my Kia Soul EV before I need to charge the car. There are free charging stations which I have used a few times though I have a level 2 charger at my house. I am not doing it to save the planet but my pocket book when gas gets over $10.00 an imperial gallon. What’s not to like?
1.) Those charging stations are not free. Somebody is paying, somehow.
2.) EV has special situations where it works fine. You live on a small island and your Kia Soul fits your lifestyle on your small island. Good for you. Electric golf carts fit the trip around a golf course. Good for golfers. Electric scooters help the elderly get around. Good for them. EV work great in convention centers and finite, confined situations. I have an electric mower; I don’t have to fight with starting it and don’t have to go to the gas station with a gas can – it’s convenient – and good for me. (However, it does take three battery charges – so I have three batteries to get it done.)
3.) But, it does not represent many situations for people who drive vehicles in the US. I can drive 200-300 miles in a day working out in the field. It takes three minutes to fill my tank. I cannot afford long waits for charges, nor to be stranded if the battery dies. rah drives a big rig tractor trailer delivering products across several states. EV wouldn’t work for him. EV are highly inefficient at low temperatures. EV in the north in winter cannot get much charge; batteries deplete energy very fast when cold. There are a lot of subsidies involved in making EV seem affordable. (IOW, it’s not very affordable – somebody is footing the bill for the subsidies.) Just a few examples of what’s not to like about EV.
It should still be Consumer Freedom and Consumer Choice not Government Choice to select the car you drive the UN/EPA needs to keep their noses out
