Yesterday, as I write this on Friday for publishing on Saturday) was a complete sinkhole. Got absolutely nothing done in any aspect. Yes, there were reasons, and all of them led to one thing – I was in no mood to write. Hey, it happens.

EV Subsidies and Price Hikes, So Which Tail is Wagging What Dog?
For months we’ve reported on the exponential cost increase (and lack, domestically) of all the rare-earth metals you need to mine to make batteries for the Electric Vehicle paradise the Left promised. EV makers are finally announcing price hikes, and they just happen to be almost exactly the sum Congress just approved for EV subsidies.

I’ve heard about the long charge times. I’ve seen videos of Electric Vehicles queuing up for public chargers – only to wait for hours to be able to spend even more hours actually charging (if Level 1 or Level 2).
The Left’s Electric Car Future Is All Carbon Smoke and Mirrors
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.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have always been a boutique item for well-to-do virtue signalers.

Well, there were a few posts that I had started and didn’t finish before ‘Grok 1.0 gave up the ghost (or, if really old, just plain forgot about them)….this is one.
I had really thought that the Aptera was a pretty cool looking car (yes, the Eldest, the Youngest, and TMEW DO put up with me) – the idea that it was an EV or a high mileage vehicle was pretty much secondary (interesting, but secondary).
