Never mentions that sooner or later they will add a per mile charge to use the roads. Already being discussed. If the entire fleet of motor vehicles weer replaced with electric how will the tax revenues from gasoline/diesel be replaced?

Also not mentioned was with Texas shutting down the electric grid and Many hydro plants in the west not working as the water level is too low.

Booming Electric Car Sales In Europe May Soon Face A Reality Check​

Sales of battery electric cars in Europe are accelerating, based mainly on well-heeled early adopter enthusiasm and government handouts, but for the electric car revolution to succeed automakers need to inspire genuine demand from the mass market based on price and utility. Currently that looks like an impossible dream.

Currently that looks like an impossible dream.



Failure to produce electric vehicles for average wage earners will also doom the automotive industry to a much-reduced future of slashed volume, closed factories and mass redundancies. The political fall-out will be serious too, as middle-income voters find they are unable to afford the freedom traditionally offered by car ownership. The “gilets jaunes” movement in France, when a sudden huge hike in the price of diesel prompted violent and extended protests, will be at the forefront of politicians’ thinking if this story line persists.
This massive rise in projected sales logically assumes a huge proportion will have to be seriously affordable, mass market friendly and not powered by gasoline or diesel. This begs huge questions. The little electric city car the Citroen Ami shows the way but isn’t yet ready for prime time, with not enough range, speed or quality. Where are these sub €10,000 after tax ($11,335) vehicles going to come from, and if they are produced, where are the required battery raw-materials? What happens to the price of some of their crucial ingredients if demand suddenly jumps? Prices will accelerate, bruising the hope that BEVs will inexorably become ever cheaper.

Booming Electric Car Sales In Europe May Soon Face A Reality Check

Electric car sales in Europe are booming, thanks to the well-off and government handouts, but for the battery power revolution to succeed local manufacturers need to embrace the mass market with cheap little city car runabouts. If they fail, Chinese carmakers won’t.

Well, the Democrat voting base really is that dumb. And the Democrat politicians know it.

Stellantis was formed by a merger of Groupe PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles earlier in 2021 and comprises brands including Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat, Chrysler, and Alfa Romeo.
The EU to mandate a BEV win rather than letting market forces decide which technology wins long-term, has led to rare public interventions from Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares.

“What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry, electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle. There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay,” Tavares told Reuters early in December.
“Over the next 5 years we have to digest 10% productivity a year in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity improvement. The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail. We are putting the industry on the limits,” Tavares said.

Earlier this year Tavares said this.
I can’t imagine a democratic society where there is no freedom of mobility because it’s only for wealthy people and all the others will use public transport,” Tavares said in a speech.

Tavares complained that the regulations on CO2 emissions had been political and were not designed by the industry. He said it would have been better to have approached the problem with a less radical approach and gradually replaced ICE vehicles with electric ones.

“I think we could have been more efficient with multiple technologies, not one single technology,” said Tavares at a Financial Times conference

until you're stuck on the NYS Thruway, in January, in three feet of snow, with a dead battery for a couple days.

 

[mark60]

Not to mention there aren't new cars to be had today, electric or otherwise. I'll but one today, Pete. Where are they?

 

[SomeSoldier]

So much for free market. Sounds like sedition to me. Gov purpose is protect us not force us to change the way we live.

Im not to worried anymore, Bosch Industries, who supplies tens of thousands of parts for the automotive industry, put out a statement that the "chip issue" is far from being resolved. They said there maybe a surge in cips in the near future, but long term expect the chip shortage to continue through the end of 2024.

Thats a pretty grim announcement for the automotive industry in general. The EV maybe the future, but its not in the immediate future

And if China invades Taiwan, expect the chip shortage to get much, much worse

 

[Saltwater60]

I watched the video and I’m sorry but it doesn’t say that at all. He said we’re seeing EV prices drop and that’s helping, but they still need to come down to be affordable. He said the high price of an EV is offset a bit by the owner not having to pay for gas. He actually didn’t mention the price of gas at all.
With that said I don’t doubt that they like high gas prices and hochul loves them, but that’s not what was said in this video.

Just wandering around you tube ... From the comments section
Update for anyone watching this as it was made a couple months ago. Lake Mead dropped to inactive pool (below 1050ft) on Thursday June 24th (1043.8 was the June 24th measurement). Mead did install impellers that can generate power down to 950ft a few years ago, but currently is operating at about 30% of total power generation capacity. Dead pool, where no water can flow out of the dam, is at 895ft. We have 149ft left before dead pool, and last year lost 26ft of water in Lake Mead, a number that is expected to accelerate as federal officials work to keep Lake Powell from hitting dead pool. Lake Powell is the dam above Lake Mead, and will not be releasing 480,000 acre feet (156,408,480,000 gallons) that in previous years it has released to Lake Mead. We have maybe five years before Mead hits dead pool unless something drastically and immediately changes. I'm happy to answer any questions that I can. I'm not a climate scientist, but live in Arizona and have been closely following our water

"Well, the Democrat voting base really is that dumb." I disagree. The Democraptic voting base is the dumbest in the Universe. They bit on Obamma...swallowed on Bidoon....and By their actions We now have a Country that is melting down within. Democratic voting base has ushered in open borders...defund police...no bail but a promise to return...inflation...destroying fossil fuel industry..etc. I could go on.

Just wait down the road when thousands if not millions of batteries need to be replaced or disgarded, and they are highly toxic. Where are they going to go? Way too toxic for a landfill.....

Also not mentioned was with Texas shutting down the electric grid and Many hydro plants in the west not working as the water level is too low.

They always harp on the trouble the Texas grid had during a 100 year storm.

They completely overlook the fact that that happens in California weekly.

'Electric Vehicles Are TERRIBLE for the Environment': Dr. Roger McGrath Dispels the Lies

Tucker Carlson: () "A single battery for an electric car needs at least '30 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of cobalt, 130 pounds of Nickel, 90 pounds of copper, 190 pounds of graphite, and roughly 500 pounds of steel, aluminum, magnesium, plastic, and other materials.' All of which are derived from mining!"
