Axios reported, “Unsold electric cars are piling up on dealer lots.”

Is this a topic that Liberals and Conservatives can have a discussion on.

I own a Honda Accord and won't be buying an E.V.

But, I have read some history and know that wagon owners never believed the automobile would amount to anything at all. Didn't anticipate a lot of things, including Henry Ford's assembly line and cheap Model T's.

So, I have an open mind.

How do EV's in the USA go toward offsetting the two coal plants a week China is opening?

Just say no to battery-operated cars

Motor Trend ran a story, “What Happens When a Rivian EV Runs Out of Battery Charge?” Well, anyone with a laptop or cellphone knows what happens. You are SOL for a long time, buddy. But the story inadvertently pointed out another trouble with electric cars is the lack of infrastructure to care...

I heard this morning that there is a 92 day supply sitting around across the US EV industry but it wasn't broken down by manufacturer.

EMH has been saying this for MONTHS now...

Then Traitor Joe handed Ford a $9 billion taxpayer funded "loan" to build even more EV capacity...

and the GOP just bowed and nodded....

Discounts for EV’s have been in place for years. You can currently get up to $15,000 in discounts.

The ideal situation for an electric car is if you have a relatively short commute to work and can charge the thing at home and while you are working. Otherwise nobody in their right mind would tow a trailer or take a scenic trip in the thing with unreliable charging stations and a freaking two hour wait if you found one. Electric cars are a one trick pony (no pun intended) that relies on a fascist administration.

Odd. I have a friend that wanted one and was told there was a 6-9 month wait

Losses per vehicle is a nonsense number. The total costs have to be amortized over a reasonably number of deliveries, and they are simply not producing enough units to get there just yet. It's only a matter of time before they break even and then start to be profitable.

What are we supposed to discuss? A claim you made with nothing to support it?

That's a highly dubious prediction. Go on CNBC and make that claim...

LOL!!!

Indeed, you are an expert on government handouts, perks, tax breaks, and preferential treatment...

The idea is to stop people from traveling......not to replace their transportation

That's why good ole uncle Joe is giving ford 9 billion dollars.

Biden is lending billions to Ford to help America win the EV race with China

The Department of Energy has allocated $9.2 billion to a joint venture involving Ford and a Korean company for three plants in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Drop those prices. You pay $15-$20k more for an ev to save on gas?



The break even point is greater and Han the life of the car.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

And then there's the whole thing about EVs actually being really bad for the environment and the entire US electric grid having to be overhauled for them to even become viable.

And that's the ball game.

That's from Reuters', which I associate with very Liberal Bias---which naturally includes Global Warming Alarmism.

Perhaps your experience is different.

Who do I believe, as a natural sceptic? Your unnamed friend (who might be a loon or a liar), or Reuters (who would never report that EV's aren't selling), unless the Truth wasn't overwhelming?
