EV sales in the dumps - The gov't Green Lie Unfolds
[Hot Air] If you are selling electric vehicles and your name isn’t Tesla, good luck getting your car off the lot.

Unsold EVs are stacking up in dealerships, even once hot-selling cars like the Mustang EV (which, by the way, I think is truly ugly).

The growing mismatch between EV supply and demand is a sign that even though consumers are showing more interest in EVs, they’re still wary about purchasing one because of price or charging concerns.

It’s a "Field of Dreams" moment for automakers making big bets on electrification — they’ve built the cars, and now they’re waiting for buyers to come, says Jonathan Gregory, senior manager of economic and industry insights at Cox Automotive.

Just to name 1 example from a handful of serious issues.
The massive environmental impact in collecting, then refining and then deposing of the battery rare earth materials over the maybe 5-year useful lifecycle.

#4 EV's were always about an attempt to create a market bubble to rescue large institutional investors, especially underwater public employee pension funds. Period. Stop.
