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.
There aren’t enough rare earth metals for the New World Order, generation capacity, infrastructure, money to pay for it, or time to build it if we could. So, are New Hampshire Democrats stooges of villains?
We’ve covered the issue of rising electric rates in the Granite State at length on these pages, and that’s great, but nothing hurts like the experience of opening the envelope and side-eying the actual total each month.
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.
Electric vehicles are to modern America what hair regrowth tonics were in the 18th century. Piss with ink. EVs are a lie wrapped in shadows and penumbras of wishes and dreams without grounding in reality. They are worse for the environment, a terrible transportation choice, and not even Consumer Reports can’t hide that fact.
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.
You may have seen pictures of an Auto club that has arrived with a gas-powered generator to recharge a motorist stranded in their dead Electric Vehicle. A priceless moment. But if we’re talking emblematic EV moments, this one is hard to beat.
If Western-Style Democracy is swirling the bowl, Australia is the largest turd about to go ’round the bend, if you take my meaning. They’ve abandoned all pretense, and even Bank Australia is getting in on the tyranny. It has announced that it will no longer offer loans for new gas-powered cars or trucks.
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.
An auto club in Germany that claims 21 million members ran some controlled charging test electric vehicles to see how efficient that process was. The results put another nail in the value coffin. Not only are they expensive to buy and own, but the average charge also wastes up to 13% of the electricity.
Democrats are economic illiterates. It’s the only explanation why so many believe an economy they planned wouldn’t be a total disaster. Take energy. They made oil prices rise to make Electric Vehicles competitive before they had the grid bandwidth to charge them.
There is an editorial over at Digger from a pair of Environmental stakeholders titled “Converting to Electricity is Common Sense.” The premise is that gasoline is never getting cheaper, and “Driving and heating homes and businesses are essential to Vermonters’ standard of living.” [so] “Converting to electricity is common sense in need of government support.”
As Joe Biden’s gas reaches for the Left’s price-point G-Spot the Twitter-titter of giggling schoolgirls has filled the echo chamber with the glories of Electric vehicles (EVs). Not so fast.
We’ve written a few articles about electric vehicles (140), electric cars (170), EVs, EV incentives, plots, plans, and more. There will be some overlap, but none of that reporting is favorable or glowing. But I’m not sure we ever covered this angle quite like this.
I’ve been waiting for those personal flying machines since Edgar Rice Burrows wrote in the 1950s about the “9th ray.” And again, since the 1970s for an electric car that might be better, and more cost-efficient than the internal combustion engine (ICE).
The Left coast is obsessed with greening the grid and mandating electric vehicles, neither of which is compatible with the other, the promised goals, or life in America. It is a problem.
This week on Common Sense Radio the topic is adding electric vehicles to the current grid. How much electricity you will need to charge these cars. How much will it cost you? The amount of electricity that will need to be available to charge all those vehicles. Where is the power going to come from? … Read more
It is no secret that California is a mess. Crime, Disease, poverty, homelessness, and that was before COVID or the riots. The green energy also has rolling blackouts due to insufficient electric power, so what’s the next logical step? Prohibit any vehicle that is not electric.
In July 2015 Severin Borenstein and Lucas Davis released a report titled, The Distributional Effects of U.S. Clean Energy Tax Credits. It sought to examine the distribution of government handouts (incentives) to invest in things the government insisted would be better for the environment. The government is incredibly bad at so many things but thinking … Read more
