Wanting EVs to fail

Because people do not want to be forced to buy one and don’t like the government stacking the deck in favor of them.

Eta
Could you not have posted this in the other EV thread?

Because its stupid. They are actually terrible for the environment but this is the cause for the push. They are inferior to ICE vehicles in almost everyway. Yet they are being rammed down our throats. Why would someone do that? Hmmm.

Is it political?


Do you work in oil and gas?

My guess is Yes and Yes, on both of those .


Also it’s just low IQ types who are stuck in the past .. but they are also conflicted since they worship Elon.. it is indeed a strange phenomenon .

I'm fine with them being an alternative(by choice) if it works for you.

Why are you so happy when you hear a bad story?

depends on the story. The other thread has a heavy as shite pickup going on a cross-country trip and needing to refuel in rural areas where the infrastructure isn't anywhere near reliable. By no means am I saying that I'm happy, but it's always entertaining seeing stories about people from the city getting to actually experience life in rural America and realizing how they want to live doesn't necessarily work.

there's several deep layers of irony in this post.

I'm rooting for them to get fricking better or go away. I don't want to be forced to own and operate an inferior product in the name of pseudo climate science. I am willing to make the change if it's a better product.

That part stuck out to me as well, I've never visited Minnesota but was there an alternate route he couldve taken where he wouldve been going through towns with more than 1 charger rather than sticking to rural towns? It almost made the story seem fake, but I know from experience that some people really would probably be that stupid.

Maybe...maybe not.

But would he have experienced the same problems of finding refueling stations had he driven an ICE?

ETA: "You should plan long trips only if there are large cities every 200 miles" isn't exactly a great sales pitch for EV's.

that post was dripping with projection.

Ever heard someone say... "I told you so"? The people you are talking about are the "I told you so's" who are the smartest people in the room and are not shy about it.

The entergy enlightend know to be FACT that the whole EV thing is unsustainable in its current capacity AND is not doing for the environment what people think it is. From the mining of the lithium for the batteries, to making the batteries, to charging the batteries, to replacing the batteries, and disposing of the batteries. Every aspect of the batteries has serious environmental issues that are ignored far more than they are discussed, and its because people don't want to hear the truth because it doesn't make them feel good.
