   Exactly !   
   I have no problem with EVs but when the government does everything to attack   
   the ICE industry thus   
   forcing the manufacturers and the consumer into these overpriced inconvenient   
   EV cars then I take   
   issue with that.   
      
   And Joe Biden's administration are a bunch of inept idiots.   
   I've said from the start of this green energy push that they are putting the   
   horse ahead of the   
   cart.   
   The infrastructure is simply not there.   
   CommiFornia can barely keep the A/C's going during the summer and have rolling   
   blackouts to prevent   
   the grid from frying itself.   
   NYC infrastructure is ancient with some homes still having a good portion of   
   cloth insulated wire !   
      
   There are so many trade offs one must deal with when driving an EV.   
   They suck in the cold.   
   They suck in the heat.   
   So do you want range or do you want to keep warm/cool ?   
      
   Like taking long trips, better plan on a lot of charging time.   
      
   And when all is considered, raw materials, manufacturing, where the   
   electricityfor the charges is   
   generated and how, EV make zero sense. Except to nut greenies who feel an   
   obligation to save the   
   planet, which they are not doing.   
      
   Hybrids do make sense with the current technology.   
   The best of both technologies.
