The only way some of the car companies are going to have a chance of recovering their investments in EVs is to regulate internal combustion engines out of existence. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Volvo is the latest automaker to back away from its prior commitment to offer nothing for sale that is not a battery powered device – by 2030, that number that keeps popping up. Mercedes – which cancelled my access to its vehicles to test drive because I’ve questioned this business of “electrifying” everything – has also walked-back its previous commitment to offer nothing for sale that is not a battery powered device.
Chiefly because they have had to – because people are still free to not buy a device, take-it-or-leave it. The praetorian press – i.e., the corporate press that is owned and so controlled by a small handful of interlocking corporations – tried mightily to market devices as the thing, just as they tried to do the same with “masks” and then those strange drugs that were “vaccines” like Dylan Mulvaney is a “girl.”
It worked for a little bit. But – as always – the truth has a way of breaking through the cordon of lies. Things just don’t make sense. The evidence – especially the stuff you can see with your own eyes – disputes what you’re being told you see. And before you know it, the lies lose their puissance.
Far fewer people still believe that “masks” – as those grotesque things are blandly referred to – “work” except as theater props for a carnival that was truly dark. Many are very “hesitant” to take the drugs being pushed by the pharmaceutical cartels that everyone (just about) finally realizes have a controlling interest in the government, like the interests that have made worship of the government of Israel mandatory for politicians and “anti-Semitic” if questioned.
Similarly, the lies about devices are now understood. Especially the lies by omission – about such things as the fact you cannot “fast” charge at home. Yet most of what you heard and read about EVs focuses on how “fast” they can be charged (which still takes a long time) with the unsaid implication that devices are as or even more practical than a car with an engine that can be gassed up in three minutes or so. But they did not explain that you have to drive to – and wait at – a “fast” charger for at least 20 minutes, nor that you won’t leave with a full charge after 20 minutes because a full charge will take at least45 minutes to an hour or longer.
