To the Michigan voters.. Biden wants 50% EV car sales in 2030... what do your automakers think?

[healthmyths]

As at least you Michigan members know, many automakers are dialing EV production back.

• GM is scrapping its target of producing about half a million new EVs by the middle of next year,
• Ford extended its timeline to hit a goal of 600,000 EVs a year, and even
• Tesla sees demand softening.

Why automakers are dialing back EV production goals - Marketplace

Demand for EVs hasn't increased as much as initially anticipated, and higher prices remain a barrier for consumers.

In 2022 gas under Biden was as high at $4.06/gallon...
Today as of 7/7/2024 a gallon of gas is $3.595 or a daily cost of $1,325,224,850 per day vs 2020 @ $2.20 or over $514,238,850 or 1/2 Billion dollars MORE PER DAY, $187,697,180,250 per year.
Over 63% more today than just 4 years ago!!! all in response to Biden's guarantee!
Because oil companies have an excuse to raise prices if Biden's guarantee to destroy them comes true!

If they were good enough they would sell themselves without commee Obiden mandates, subsidies etc,

But, you create $6 gas and give $7500 cash per EV some begin to buy. Even if they regret it later. Like a golf cart, good around town for 3 hours once a week. Yawning.

The EV fad will pass soon enough. EVs cost more energy to build. That prices them out of the market when energy becomes much more expensive. Meanwhile, climate change is reducing the snow and ice in Michigan, so scooters and motorcycles will become more practical as basic low energy transportation. I may eventually buy a scooter. Over 99cc requires a motorcycle license.

Why? My gas car is fine. I don’t need a cord. Gas available all over. I have credit cards now, don’t have to go inside. Why pay 2X or 1.5X more for more hassel? What’s in it for me? Besides no long trips,
