WHY Electric Vehicles are a pipe dream for Americans.
It seems no one ever talks about this thorny issue regardless government is trying to force Americans to change their habits and lifestyle, so I will! There are several common sense reasons and problems with trying to force all Americans to drive Electric Vehicles (EVs) rather than modern gas and diesel powered vehicles. I'm going to break down these details so it's simple to understand: #1 EVs are expensive and not everyone can simply afford one, and they have already been proven even more expensive to maintain. One simple battery often costs twice as much as the EV itself when it needs to be replaced! Many American families will never be able to afford maintaining them. #2 EVs take a long time to charge. In America this will cause a HUGE problem and in many cases angry public uproar. We are talking about a VAST spread out country with tons of sprawling suburbs, small towns and not to mention very well spread out rural communities! FACT: EVs do not have the infrastructure to be charged all across America. FACT: Many Americans need to commute longer distances in order to live their lives, and EVs do not have the ability to travel longer distances. That means forcing consumers to drive EVs would leave a whole lot of Americans STRANDED and cause a lot of unnecessary problems on a daily basis. This will cause massive public consumer backlash. 3 The wars we have been stirring over the world, including with Russia and China, are causing massive blowback for us and our supply chain! If Taiwan is ever taken by China, or Ukraine is ever taken by Russia, you can expect those supply chain shortages to get MUCH MUCH WORSE. In this scenario America will be vastly cut off of essential electronic goods due to chip shortages and that includes the chips to manufacture EVs! Furthermore China has just ended the "Climate Agreement" with America over Pelosi's stunt (not to mention dumping US Treasury holdings). I doubt the mainstream media informed America about this so go look it up, it's true.
FACT: It concerns me very much that almost half this country lives in a total pipe dream today. It concerns me very much that average Americans, not even the government or mainstream 'economists' on TV, have a fucking clue how the real economy actually works! It concerns me how so many politicians are absolutely ridiculously selfishly delusional today, in such a secluded pampered fashion! I'm saying this right now as an American, America cannot and will not sustain a real economy with such foolishness, hubris and arrogance! AND NO, I am not going to bother buying and driving an EV when I live 50+ miles away from the nearest Costco and Sams Club!
