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.

Is It Just Me, Or Are There Fewer EV Car Commercials Airing?

Vermont Looks for a Way to Bribe People Into less Reliable Transportation
