Three Huge Reasons Why Electric Vehicles Will Never Dominate American Roads
[PJ] Here’s the most important fact about plug-in electric vehicles (EV), courtesy of the liberal content-creators at Wikipedia in the opening sentence of their post on "Government Incentives for Plug-in Electric Vehicles:"

Such incentives "have been established around the world to support policy-driven adoption of plug-in electric vehicles. These incentives mainly take the form of purchase rebates, tax exemptions and tax credits, and additional perks that range from access to bus lanes to waivers on fees (charging, parking, tolls, etc.)." [Emphasis added]

The campaign by the Western elite in the U.S. and Europe to force everybody else to stop driving cars and trucks powered by fossil-fueled internal combustion engines and adopt EVs instead is a product of the elite’s policy choices, not ours.

#1 Which is exactly the point. It's impossible to replace ICE vehicles with electric. So what happens when ICE vehicles are banned? They just go away...
