Electric Cars are exploding in Florida after the hurricane

I was this close to buying one (thinking I would make up the extra in price with the money I would save in gas) but prices were truly nuts and still - even in urban areas - not nearly enough places to charge (and it takes forever).

Do you also think you can save on food costs by buying your own McDonalds?

This is what you voted for

IMO it only makes sense to have one if you have a single family home with a garage and an intermediate charger setup in your garage
Relying on public charging is a fool's errand at this point

You vote for the party that’s trying to force these on everyone

Yes GW was the one who mandates all electric vehicles by 2035

Are they leaving them plugged in too long? Maybe it’s from trying to charge on a generator?

He's the one that got the ball rolling with EV subsidies
He has even been dubbed by many as the father of the modern electric car
George W Bush - Father of the Modern Electric Car
quote:
Some critics think the electric-car subsidies in place today belong to the current White House, but those line items actually are the product of Bush's second term, and they're the root of the real electric cars you can see, buy, drive and recharge today.
Before Obama raised CAFE requirements, Bush did it. And if you're looking for the stroke of the pen that created the burgeoning world of EVs around us, that stroke came from Bush's pen
quote:
With an investment of $7.5 billion, Bush and Congress underwrote $25 billion in loans that's translated directly into the Leaf, the Volt, Ford's electric Focus, the Think City, and Tesla and Fisker's leap from paper to plant. Now, almost five years later, we have mass-market electric cars. It's anathema for some progressives to give Bush credit for anything--just as it's anathema for more strident conservatives to see any good coming from any social engineering. They didn't like his prescription-drug coverage, either.
It's worth pointing out those electric-car incentives are distinct from the GM and Chrysler bailout loans, which upended the usual bankruptcy process in the hopes of stabilizing the industry as a whole--a move still as divisive today as it was in 2008.
Without Bush and the DOE loan program you wouldn't have companies like Tesla thriving today
Of course you don't know anything so you wouldn't know that either

Who is being forced to drive electric now?

This is simply another reason for me to dislike Bush.
Your boy Joe is the one that declared war on oil and gas.

THEY ARE NOT VIABLE
It will take decades more development

No one has mandated cars on a national level

So you agree with SDV then that Bush didn’t do that.

Exactly. Why was Bush who is the worst even brought up
