Ever wonder why governments are pushing hard for electric vehicles?

They want you to believe it’s for climate change and the environment. Dupes believe that.
It’s about being able to turn off electricity remotely. Can’t do that with gasoline.

And it severely limits travel

They can already do this to your home or business. They also can cut off your internet, freeze your bank accounts and credit cards, disbale your cellphone service, cut your water off and just about anything else they want to do right now.
What is your point again?

You can pour gasoline from a can into a vehicle. EV chargers, particularly public ones, have some sort of connectivity/interface.
"Geekboy, you posted wrong think on the internet yesterday and we don't want your bad attitude to spread amongst the populace, therefore your EV charge is limited to 13.4 miles, just enough to get to work and back."
You'll definitely drive your arse to work to provide labor for the elites, but you won't be driving from your pod in the city out into the countryside to join the rebellion.

it is so much bigger than this. what about electronic money and no hard cash? what may the (un)intended consequences of that? changing the way credit "scores" are formulated?
this makes the power brokers more powerful, and takes away the majority of the control of the people. another unintended consequence is that the entire country becomes only as powerful as the power grid.
these moves are stupid on so many levels.

At this point the govt can turn off most newer ICE vehicles as well if they wanted
All have some sort of connectivity

It is all about control and power.

Klaus thanks you for your support

Anyone paying attention has been knowing this for several years now. So me, personally, no, I don't wonder why. Already know.

You can bypass the connectivity on any vehicle. You cannot bypass charging a EV. Gas can be stored easily and in large quantities. Electricity is much harder and more expensive to store.

I’m not a fan or advocate of evs but doesn’t everyone recall that shut down of that pipeline that carries millions of gallons of gasoline from a couple of years ago ?
Here in BR if the authorities wanted to shutdown the main refinery they could do it by blocking off a few key streets to not allow access to the refinery.
Evs are just a way to wreck the economy.

You can remotely turn off electricity to an oil refinery, dumb arse.

Right pretty sure they have kill switches in them now in all the newer vehicles, I think they mandated by 2026 that every new vehicle sold has a kill switch

Everything being done is about control, period.

It is degrees of separation, moron.
With an EV and limited charging stations, they can go to a micro level and shut down individuals they feel are problematic.
If they were to shut off electricity to a refinery, that means they are punishing whole regions if not the whole of the country depending on the refinery in question.
If Exxon BR gets shut down, it affects more than the BR area because it is one of the ten largest refineries in the world.

I personally think it’s simply about attempting to create a new energy sector boom. The shot callers are jealous they missed out on oil, so they're trying to force ev, solar, wind, etc. so they can be at the top of the heap when it pops off, even if by decree
ETA the control aspect is lagniappe

Gas can be stored but has a short shelf life, even with stabilizers. Diesel lasts much longer. I wish I had a diesel truck and that bay be my next purchase.

The local pipeline storage facilities around the country still need electricity, moron. They can turn off electricity to a gas station, moron.

I don't have an EV because I tow 20k lbs around the country, but if one of the big three comes out with an electric HD truck with decent towing range, I'll be picking one up.
Conservatives should embrace the self-sufficiency of solar and EVs while strongly opposing the mandates being pushed.
