Electric Cars Will Eventually Get Us Nowhere
2021-06-29
[The Washington Gazette] One of the most hyped innovations of our life time is today’s electric vehicle. While our federal government and the state of California think the internal combustion engine will soon end in the dustbin of history, it just ain’t so. It will never happen for many obvious reasons that governments are blind to.

The most obvious one is that their expense will not allow the average American to own one. The alternative will always be significantly cheaper and will transport you much farther.

EVs can never be produced in the numbers the government wants because of a lack of necessary rare earth minerals held hostage in China.

#4  California is asking electric car owners to not charge their cars to help avoid rolling blackouts. Interesting to see how that sort of thing effects sales or do the virtue signa brigade not care.

#3  Remember back in World War 2 they had bicycle driven generators to power remote radios. Just add a BG (Bicycle Generator) on the back of the EV. That could work!
