Still want an EV?

[Alfisti]

I think a lot of the opposition to EV's is conservative BS that can easily be overcome or has been overblown to serve a political purpose. But the charging situation, the charging, absolute nightmare i cannot for the life of me see a solution to.

Another quick vid of a cement firm that was patting itself on the back on being the first firm to make a cement delivery with an EV cement truck until this happened,,

Here is the NHTSA Cafe standards to 2026. Life is too short to read this but to summarize:
They chose alternative 2.5 (because they say we can afford it)
Alt 2.5 will add at least $1000.00 minimum to the price of a new car per year.
Here is the CAFE standards for passenger cars
2024 55.44MPG
2025 60.26MPG
2026 66.95MPG
Here is the CAFE standards for Light Trucks
2024 44.48MPG
2025 48.35MPG
2026 53.73MPG
This can be found here Tables IV-14 IV-15

This will force automotive companies to continue to build EV's to meet their CAFE standards. I feel the need to slap a politician of the green grift variety
Yes we will be forced to buy hybrids or EV's so that the connected elites can jet off to some exotic local on their private Jets to lecture us on how we have to save the planet by drive cars we hate.

When these hypocrits stop flying around in their private jets, cruising in their megayachts and living in mansions I will consider a hybrid vehicle. Until then they can screw off.

Will it cost dealerships a bit extra to prepare to sell EVs? Absolutely. Getting to the highest “Model e Certified” level could set you back over $1 million.

Interesting candid discussion of the realities of selling EV's

I've driven the previous model of this in Poland over normal roads and rough stuff, it's capable and far easier to service and repair than the modern complex ones which is what you want.
