The HARD TRUTH about EVs

[Weather Man]

All the EV manufacturers trying ramp production for the USA like mad. What happens if they all get there and throw the party...and nobody shows up? Do the Feds just up and ban ICE on the spot to save their asses and force people to buy? We will know within 3 years, I think. Maybe it's no coincidence that the EU emission regs will be a DeFacto early ICE ban by 2025. It is interesting to watch the Germans start to squirm as their auto sector looks like it will not do well in the new EV world order.

I want to see how people freak out about the reliability of the grid when we go from the current 3-4% vehicles being ev to 20%

I have to find it but somehow here I though I read where they were being incentivized by the feds to dismantle them.

Funny how some of the old style tree huggers are starting to realize the Green Insanity means fields of solar panels, ugly wind towers and lots of strip mines.

I was in Australia and New Zealand all week and I think I saw maybe one EV. They are not even a category there. Diesels are popular as are hybrids but not EVs.

LOL at extra 9 hours to charge the coal burner. It was a lot more than 9 hours chumps.

Reduced speed, planning your stops, extra travel to get your coal burner charged.

Lordstown Motors CEO and President Edward Hightower said on Monday that the company may decide to pause commercial production of the Endurance until a partner is identified.

Lordstown intends to build an initial batch of 500 Endurance vehicles this year of which 40 have been completed or are in process, said Hightower.

Hightower explained that the size of the initial batch was limited owing to the high manufacturing cost of Endurance as compared to its selling price.

“Forming the right partnerships will create the business rationale to invest in the hard tooling and VAVE actions required to reduce its BOM cost and scale production of the truck,” Hightower said.
