You think it'll be that easy to just pick and choose do ya....Simple solution: don't buy it

If you don't buy an EV, that's eventually what they are going to do on all ICE vehicles, tax the shit out of them. On top of your yearly registration tax, city sticker taxes like we pay here in Chicago on all vehicles, etc...Carbon tax, on everything.
Grandfather laws. There is an entire industry based on old washing machines. Read up on it. The same ideas translates to the automotive world.You think it'll be that easy to just pick and choose do ya....
There is no choice in states that have ZEV mandates. i.e. California mandating by 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California must be zero-emission vehicles.Simple solution: don't buy it
Nearly half of the nations electricity is generated by natural gas. You know, those scary drilling rigs!
20-25% more comes from coal. Damn ole coal mines!
That's 3/4 of total current electricity being used is made by, wait for it. Fossil ****ing fuels.
These people just don't have a clue.
I also challenge any one of them to itemize EVERY SINGLE OBJECT in their home that is a petroleum derivative product. EVERYTHING.
Then, simply take all those items & toss them in the front yard. Now, walk back in the house & see what's left...
That will show the difference between reality & foolish fantasy.
Subscription services aren't working though. Many OEMs pulled out of doing them because they were not a profitable business model. Car companies are wholesalers, they are not retailers.How about this.. it's not just about eliminating I.C.E. it's about less cars on the road period.
Autonomous rideshare. People will own a car like a subscription service. You'll pay your 599$ a month or 999$ a month and it will take you to approved destinations.
I believe this is closer to the target model. We'll actually not OWN a damn thing but pay for use like a bill i.e. phone/tv/cable/auto.

Please do.I need to put together a story on my electric vehicle theories.
Nobody cares about washing machines... Our hobby must die because it's fun... Democrats idea of fun is tickling each others same sex assholes.Grandfather laws. There is an entire industry based on old washing machines. Read up on it. The same ideas translates to the automotive world.
What? I provide facts & you quote me with more fairytales & unicorns? Eventually expand?The electric grid will eventually be a lot more green and the electric grid will be able to expand to handle it.
Austin, Texas has a fleet of a dozen electric busses. But when that winter storm took down the Texas grid, those busses were useless. Not only does Texas need to guard its grid against extreme weather, it needs more generating capacity. But so does the whole United States. Reuters reports the U.S. needs to double its generating capacity by 2050 to accommodate EVs. The Boston Consulting Group says the average utility company needs to spend anywhere from $1,700 to $5,800 for every EV added to the grid by 2030, which would bring the total bill to $200 billion. But Reuters cites other utilities saying they can handle the transition and will not need more capacity until after 2030. One thing they all agree on: the grid needs to get greener or we won’t make progress fighting climate change.What? I provide facts & you quote me with more fairytales & unicorns? Eventually expand?
Didn't Texas just freeze solid due to a cold snap? Winter comes every year.
JFC. That quote starts with Austin, and ends with fighting climate change. I'm speechless. And I'm also out. It did make me smile though, so thanks for that.Austin, Texas has a fleet of a dozen electric busses. But when that winter storm took down the Texas grid, those busses were useless.

EV rollout will require huge investments in strained U.S. power grids
I am sure you know better than the Boston Consulting Group and the utility companies. Whether you like it or not, EVs are coming and the infrastructure will be able to handle it. Most people don't really care about their car's propulsion system.JFC. That quote starts with Austin, and ends with fighting climate change. I'm speechless. And I'm also out.

Never endsAgain, more stupid.
EV push is simple. It’s another tool they can use to control you and your movement.
Whether the resources are there or not to support EVs has nothing to do with it.
