The EV fanatics have had to reverse course due to apathy and outright antipathy from much of the public, fed almost exclusively by the alternative media (particularly Eric Peters).

They have been forced to ease-up on their pushing of electric vehicles – meant to push most of us not only out of driving but also out of living too far away from the urban hives where they want to herd us – which are the only areas where owning one of these devices is even plausibly practical, on account of the short-distances driven and only having to wait 30-45 minutes at a “fast” charger rather than hours (or days) at home.
Instead of two-thirds of all new vehicles having to be electric by 2032 – as they had intended – by using regulations that would effectively force two-thirds of the vehicles that aren’t electric off the market by then – it is now only about a third (about 35 percent) by then.

Never mind.
When they are made mandatory by imperial decree will they kick beaten down shirkers and worse as they are forced to wear dunce caps and the crowd cheers in solidarity?
Go along with the herd never ends well.
The 40 mile range will be excessive in the 15 minute concentration camps.
