The huge push towards electric cars. Just where do these greenies think the electricity.........
to power these electric cars will come from?? I overheard a conversation between two female millenials. They were talking about how badly they both wanted an electric car.
Are you ready for why they were so excited about an electric car?? Wait for it. Dear Lord they vote!
You get to drive for FREE!!
The way we keep closing electric plants my guess is there wont be enough electricity to run these electric cars if we ever reach the point we have 10,000,000 of them humming down the roads.
But, but, the electricity to run my electric car is free!! Is it possible to have a negative IQ??

They're trying to develop renewable sources of electricity.
There will be much less resistance to windmill farms if everyone has an electric car.

If I am not mistaken the Prius charges it's own battery when you apply the brakes. It runs off gasoline too.
At least that is what I understand about how my son and his wife's do.
By the way they are not greenies, got a friend the refurbishes Prius's. Buys then dirt cheap and passes the savings on to others.

The resistance to windmill farms is that they are NOT good enough! They kill THOUSANDS(most likely millions) of birds every year INCLUDING Bald Eagles(which oil companies would be heavily fined for doing) and they are NOT renewable! Ever seen the farms where HALF the mills are broken!? Ever seen them "dispose" of old broken wind vanes?! They simply dig a LONG deep hole and bury them whole. YEA that's GREAT for the eco system!!!!
PLUS, EVERYONE would have to spend upwards of 40,000 for a NEW EV. Then what will happen to the price of EVs when there is more demand than vehicles?!
NO ONE in the world is ready, and capable of switching from oil/gas 100%. To say otherwise is simply living in a FANTASY land!

ELIO MOTORS ANNOUNCES INTENT TO PRODUCE AN ELECTRIC VERSION OF ITS POPULAR VEHICLE.
Phoenix, AZ— September 9, 2021 — Elio Motors OTCMKTS: ELIO, (eliomotors.com) is announcing their intention to produce an electric version of their three-wheeled vehicle. The announcement is based on the change in consumer demand and finance markets’ new appetite for electric vehicles. The Elio-E model has a targeted base at $14,900 making it the most affordable entry level electric vehicle on the market.
Elio Motors was founded with a vision to create a high mileage, low-cost vehicle that everyone could afford. During the initial development phase Elio Motors believed that the best strategy was to first develop a gas-powered option, establish it in the marketplace, and then launch the electric version. The entire automotive landscape has changed significantly, and Elio Motors now believes that it is better to first develop an electric powered Elio-E and get it into production. Elio Motors was able to garner over 65,000 reservations for the (Elio-G) gas-powered vehicle, proving the demand for it’s unique styling and design. Once the electric version is produced, Elio plans to potentially launch the Elio-G for consumers looking for a gas powered alternative.
Most of the engineering for proof of concept for the gas Elio-G can be utilized in the development of the electric Elio-E. Elio contacted its engineering partner Roush and their assessment was that the current design could be successfully electrified. Utilizing the work already completed will significantly shorten development time versus a clean sheet of paper approach. Elio built a series of prototypes of the Elio G, some of which will be retrofitted into electric versions for testing. Elio Motors’ progress in many other areas should be valuable to the ultimate successful creation of the Elio-E. For instance, Elio Motors went state by state and created the new category of vehicles eliminating the need to wear a helmet in your fully enclosed Elio. The plant in Shreveport is still under lease, and all of the critical manufacturing equipment is still in place.
“We never quit working to make this dream happen,” said Paul Elio, CEO of Elio Motors, “The market has changed, and investors and consumers are looking for innovative, environmentally conscious, low cost electric vehicles, and we have a great option that will appeal to a very large under-served market”.
Elio plans to offer its base three-wheeled Elio-E at a targeted price of under $15,000, giving consumers an economical and safe entry level option into the electric market that is thousands below other competitors’ offerings.

Since you won't be paying fuel taxes at the pump they will come up with a way to tax you on the miles driven. They will get their tax money without a doubt

Gee, I wonder how that little tricycle works in 6" of snow.
Oh wait, you have to have a second vehicle to drive in the northern hemisphere. Stellar.

pay by the mile is already on the table for years when fuel efficient hi MPG cars came around Big brother had already looking at ways to make up the tax loss by charging every one a tax on how many miles you drive .
I would guess today would be just as simple as one added computer function to report every time you start and drive the car
just like the insurance app to give you better rates if you let them track your driving to make sure you fallow all the laws and speed limits .

That'll all be cured soon, 'cause Kenworth is coming with licorice trucks.

Just watch the power grid cost increases when they factor in the new N.G. price along with the kilowatt unit prices.In E.U. the price per kilowatt is not 10 -15 cents it's 25-35 cents. their will be no free ride when the equation flips from gas motors to electric motors. Just less pollution.
Air conditioning electric bills in the southern states will astronomically for the poor middle class too,
