Members of the Apple cult who were hoping to one day drive their iteration of an Electric Vehicle will be disappointed. After dropping billions into an effort to one day compete with Tesla Motors, The Tech Giant has cut the plug-in cord.

So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (2/22/24)?
We learned that we were able to get through reconsideration of HB154 (reconsideration failed), 44 regular calendar bills and 1 bill pulled off consent, between 9 am and 5:30 pm, with an hour for lunch (thankfully provided by the NH Nurses Association). Everyone was prepared to stay much longer into the evening, but speeches were relatively short, and we had a nice amount of voice votes on bills, too!
Has The “Success” of EV’s Caused Their Collapse?
The Electric Vehicle (EV) has always been a Climate Pootemkin Villiage. The mirage of climate activism incarnate. Unaffordable but to a few who expect those beneath them to follow their example. A class that forced car makers to build them and taxpayers to subsidize something with significant manufacturing downsides to the planet.
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (2/8/24)?
We learned that State Representative Matthew (Matt) Coker (R-Meredith) officially switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. The Republican Caucus welcomed him warmly and looks forward to working with him to serve his constituents with integrity and conviction.
The Demise of the Electric Vehicle
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
Martha’s Vineyard Declared “Low Income” so It Can Save Money on EV Chargers
Martha’s Vineyard is a remarkable place—a quaint little island of elites where the median home price is around 1.5 million. Barry Obama has a massive estate there, as do many well-heeled elites (despite the alleged risk of rising sea levels). And now they are eligible for subsidies (your money, not theirs) to add EV charging infrastructure.
Ford Forced to Cut EV Production As America Runs Low On People Who Can Afford Virtue Signal Mobiles
Electric Vehicles have an opportunity to replace the Edsel as the historic reference for transportation marketing failure. The Edsel was “overhyped, unattractive (distinguished by a vertical grille said to resemble a horse collar[2]), and low quality.” It was also introduced during a crappy economy.
Stop Forcing EVs Down Our Throats
VT Digger recently posted an article lamenting that we Vermonters are not heeling to the mandate to transition our vehicles to electric. Alas, “As of October 2023, there were just under 11,000 plug-in EVs registered in the state, David Roberts, a consultant for the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, told the House Transportation Committee.
Bear Pond Conservative Chronicles: Why Do Democrats Think Maine Is Ready For EVs
With nearly 36,000 square miles, you can put the other five New England states inside Maine’s borders. Madawaska is a little town located at the top of Aroostook County and is the northernmost town in New England. It is home to around 3,800 residents.
It “Hertz” – Rental Company to Dump Thousands of Electric Vehicles
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 the EVs it has.
Electric Vehicles Are Doomed To Fail
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.
Night Cap: The Economy and Our Freedoms Are Not To Be Abused, but That’s Exactly What Joe Biden Is Doing
This Green Wave led by Biden, Kerry, Yellen, and anyone else who has bent at the waist in front of Xi Jinping is not only about taking our beloved gas-driven vehicles from us but more about controlling us like a good Border Collie controls sheep.
‘Experts’ in Norway Bought 183 EV Buses … That Don’t Work Very Well When It’s Cold
We have readers in Norway, but none appear to be the “experts” making public transportation decisions in Oslo. The City spent €100 million on 183 Electric Buses that work great in the summer but not so much in the winter.
Consumer Reports: EV Owners Say Their Cars are Unreliable
From “the things we already knew” file, Consumer Reports has found that “Electric vehicle owners continue to report far more problems with their vehicles than owners of conventional cars or hybrids, according to their newly released annual car reliability survey.”
The Biden Administration’s EV Goals Are an Expensive Fantasy
The Biden administration is pushing for widespread electrification in less than 20 years through government subsidies and coercive regulations as part of its aggressive climate agenda. The truth is that President Joe Biden’s goals are an illusion at the expense of the American people.
New York City Admits It Can’t Make EV Snowplows Work
It’s been less than a year since our last report on the hurdles associated with “greening” winter road maintenance. In December of last year, the folks in New York City who are in charge of such things discovered that Electric Vehicles suck when it comes to snow removal but held out hope for a solution.
The Left’s Green Dreams Are Going Up In Smoke
One of the textbook marketing flops of all time was the Ford Edsel sedan, which was heralded as the hot new car in the late 1950s. All the automotive experts and Ford executives said it was a can’t-miss. Henry Ford (the car was named after his son) guaranteed hundreds of thousands of sales.
Climate Consortium Says EV Batteries Need to be Smaller, Their Range Shorter
A consortium of ‘experts’ is making a case for Climate Change. To get there from here, we need a “71 percent reduction in personal vehicle ownership.” Why? All that rare earth metals mining is bad for the planet.
Is It too Soon to Report Even MORE Bad News About Electric Vehicles?
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).
Does Paying Flood Victims to Get Cars That Explode When Wet Make Sense?
Following the recent flooding throughout Vermont this summer, the state very proudly touted a response program that offers victims who lost or suffered damage to their cars the opportunity to replace them with an electric vehicle. Not an internal combustion engine vehicle, just an electric vehicle.
