If you search the site for EVs or Electric Vehicles, you’ll find every reason not to buy one, and thankfully, we’re not the only ones pointing it out. EV sales are lousy in the US, which has to be why Democrat states are looking to ban gas-powered cars.
The acronym E.D., which I have long referred to as Electile Dysfunction – the inability to overcome any number of voting-related irregularities needed to elect good candidates, is more commonly associated with erectile dysfunction, and to be honest, that almost seems like the same problem.
The nation’s recent deep freeze stranded many expensive electric vehicles (EVs) with drained batteries, often in front of charging stations equally disabled by the cold. Warmer areas like California, where some 39% of EV car owners reside, do not abuse their batteries with the harsh seasonal winters that threaten many regions of the nation and … Read more
We can only hope that the other faulty pillars of leftism collapse this year the way the Electric Vehicle market has in the past year. Dealers don’t want them. Inventory is backing up. Manufacturers are losing billions, and now Hertz is not only not going to buy 100,000 of them, it is dumping many of … Read more
In a story that seems to be becoming increasingly common as time goes on, The Western Journal reported this week about a Canadian EV owner experiencing some massive sticker shock over the cost of replacing the damaged battery in his electric vehicle.
Before I impart the new bad news, yesterday, Rob Roper looked at Vermont’s ridiculous, misguided spending decisions regarding school buses. They don’t have enough drivers, so when they got some money, they ‘invested it’ in electric school buses (for whom they still don’t have enough drivers).
First, let me say that this is not a decision for an unelected body. This is a decision to be made by the citizens of the state of Maine in a state-wide referendum.
We have the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Protection Bureau, Consumer Product Safety Commission, USA.gov, and even state-level agencies, claiming an interest in consumer protections, but no one is investigating the hidden costs of owning an electric vehicle (EV).
EVs are a miserable experiment. Not green, not affordable, not efficient, and an uncontrollable fire hazard, they can cost almost 30% more to insure, and even minor damage could mean repairs exceed the vehicle’s value, so it gets scrapped.
New York City uses its garbage trucks to plow snow. The Big Crapple is also hot to electrify the entire fleet, and why not? Who should be more climate #woke than the city that never sleeps? But someone is having nightmares after discovering the two are incompatible—electric trucks and plowing snow.
In a delicious irony, the greenies that thought they were outsmarting and healing mother nature got laughed at last as Hurricane Ian tragically tore through swaths of Florida and crippled electric vehicles.
Vermont has locked in on the California Cobb up-the-backside Electric Vehicle/emissions reduction plan. By 2035 you won’t be able to buy or register a new gas-powered vehicle in the state. All new vehicles will be electric which is a problem for a host of reasons.
Coal miners help push tourists’ dead electric car in West Virginia. “Because the vehicle was plastic underneath, there was no way to tow it, so a group of miners decided to push it. ‘So here are 5 coal miners pushing a battery car to the coal mine to charge up.’ You could even see mounds … Read more
Electric Vehicles (EVs) suck. To review, they are dirty to build (not green), dirty to run (not green), are more likely to fail, are far too expensive, and inadequate to almost any task not suited to a golf cart (which is a lot cheaper), and now we’ve got more bad news.
Here’s how I figure the costs of owning electric vehicles (EVs) that they are pushing on us. The present cost of gasoline doesn’t even figure into the calculation.
SHOT: Visualizing 10 Years of Global EV Sales by Country “A look at the explosion of global EV sales since 2011, broken down by country.
I do not want one and will fight tooth and nail before being forced into one. We have two full-size SUVs and one Class C Motor Home. We pull a boat with one vehicle, and the other transports many golfers and their clubs/carts. The usage makes a full-size a necessity for both.
On average, one of those so-called planet-saving Electric Edsels we hear so much about costs almost 20,000.00 dollars more than its fossil-fuel-fired counterpart, but that’s going to go up.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) have always been a boutique item for well-to-do virtue signalers. Even with gobs of taxpayer-backed incentives (the well-to-do take but don’t need), most EVs are still too expensive for average Americans. But the Left is obsessed, and while that is bad for you, this might be worse.
One of the keystones of the green energy fantasy has been to shift transportation away from combustion to electric-powered vehicles. We’ve been pointing out for over a decade that they are playing a joke on you. Not only are they not the solution, but they are also another dirty, nasty, un-green lie.
