Rent going up 300%, price of food going up 500%. Who knows why we aren't going out and buying new cars?

[possiblycurryddork]

The rent is too damn high. Its cheaper to drive my current car into the ground. Its paid off. ❤

EVs should be an option - not a mandate in order to buy a vehicle. Nothing is a bigger turnoff than the government telling you what to buy.

I live in an apartment building … where in the living hell am I supposed to charge the damn thing ??

[sdlausen]

Whenever politicians push for ANY AGENDA such as this EV craze, thread with caution.

[oColto]

Anyone who says, "they should mandate" is part of the problem.

[donhathaway]

Wait until all the crackheads find out each charging station has about $75 worth of copper inside.

Also, Henry Ford didn't need the government to get people off of their horses, and into his Model T's. Just saying.

If you live in “those fancy new condos” in New York, then you likely don’t have any sort of car because gas or not, there’s no where to park it

[jasminecrandall]

We have unelected bureaucrats, corporate lobbyists, and idiotic ideologues pushing for and passing ridiculous policies.

I understand that our world is reliant on finite materials and we have to take steps to change that, but while the billionaires are consuming thousands of tons of jet fuel for personal trips, it kind of pisses me off when they say we are the problem for commuting to work.

I worked as a technician at a freightliner dealer in 2022. They brought in 3 of the new e-trucks for demonstration. They brought in factory engineers who fried the batteries after trying to charge them at the wrong voltage, which totalled all 3 trucks. It was a shit show, while the older mechanics sat back and laughed their asses off.

I live in Canada where they're banning gas powered vehicles and I honestly cant recall seeing an EV charger. When I was living in mexico EV chargers were everywhere. These cars cannot survive a Canadian winter and there is no infrastructure to support this...absolutely ridiculous

taking an EV into your local garage is like asking a plumber to fix your wifi

[refryable]

The dirty BIG secret is that, to this day, every manual about charging states - do not let the charge level go below 20% - and do not charge to over 80%. These are the recommendations for overall battery function, performance, and, especially, the overall life of the battery. Over a year ago, Finland announced a super charger that would charge an EV in 15 minutes. Nowhere do they warn about the instant and long-term damage this fast charging does to the battery. If you should never charge above 80%, then the mileage estimates are crap.

People in general are never very keen on things that are FORCED on them.

Bring back nuclear power plants. Don’t let Jane Fonda dictate energy policy.

When a politician says something is good for us, I'll more often than not go in the opposite direction.

It's a joke because if you go away for 6 months on a holiday your not driving your car and your battery will die. If you don't drive it much it's going to cost you a lot of money to replace that battery.
For instance... I buy a metal detector and it has only a chargeable battery.... I pay 500 bucks for it and never use it... 5 years later I decide to use it once.. it wont work the battery is finished and I never used it.... IT"S JUNK!!! I'm already pissed because I have to buy a new cell phone every 2 years because of the battery. I want one that will last me forever and never break just like the stuff we used to get in the past.
My mom buy a black and white TV a long time ago... it still worked 40 years later and so did our washing machine.

This isn’t about saving the planet, it’s about taking individual transportation away from the non-elites.
