Electric vehicles, by definition, are a flat-out joke.
Up-front costs, which are typically miles over MSRP, the costs of replacement batteries, the practically nonexistent functional infrastructure? It's insane to buy EV's.
Government, which typically is equally insane, is demanding we buy one of these turds regardless.
Short-sighted automakers are being bitch-slapped into playing along. Chrysler, for its part, will soon, essentially, be making ONLY EV's within the next 2 years. Ford, for ITsS part, will lose $3 billion this year due to their horrific toaster-oven program that's reduced the match stick Lightnings to a punchline in the EV joke.
The irony of all of this is that one wonders: are the leftists, blithely lying through their teeth about the "wonders" of these turds while they do their collective best to ram them down our throats... not unlike the horrific costs and pollution of wind-driven power, remotely aware of the massive shortcomings in the EV realm, the pollution required in construction, the child labor used, the horrific costs; both of initial purchase and subsequent battery replacement... not to mention the equally horrific costs of getting your home/business wired to handle the costs and requirements to charge these beasts (they apparently require 25 times the power use of the average full-size refrigerator) and the shortage of both chargers AND chargers that actually work.
The EV insanity. Are the clowns in Olympia paying attention? Does EVERY legislator ramming this garbage down our throats ONLY use/own an EV?
Of course not.
Likely not the brightest bulb on the tree, the guy who stupidly bought this thing got raped at the dealership (paying $7500 over MSRP) then got further screwed by the costs of installation and electrical rehab at his home and at work: another $16,000.
AND THEN, he discovers, as so many others have, that his house-cost EV is a turd. And the costs are insane:
"Fast charging stations – which only charge EV’s up to 90% – cost more than gas for the same mileage. On the family’s first stop in Fargo, North Dakota, it took two hours and $56 to charge his vehicle from 10% to 90%. The charge was good for another 215 miles."
The expenses quickly piled up after Bala purchased the electric truck. |
$56 for 215 miles. Even with my Supercharged Mustang, the 11 gallons of gas $56 would buy you at Costco would result in 275 miles of freeway driving (Yes, my V8, 700HP Mustang gets 25 MPG on the freeway) so, yes... when you add the cost of hanging around for 2 hours (Family vacation, down time, equal snacks and activities to keep the kiddies occupied) the costs FAR exceed that of an ICE car.
If you're even THINK about buying one of these worthless toasters, read this story.
