The Crazy World Of Bidenomics! Actual Cost Of Charging An Electric Vehicle Is $17 Per Gallon, Automakers Losing $36,000 Per EV Sold (Big Boondoggle For China)

Biden is the God of Hellfire! Forcing Americans to support China.

The actual cost of charging an electric vehicle is $17 per gallon, and automakers are losing $36,000 per EV they sell. Its enriches China and makes the US dependent on Chinese batteries and minerals controlled by China.

Ford EV sales are almost nonexistant. High prices, big losses per vehicle sold, a dearth of charging stations for travel.

At least Biden will say the pain he is causing actually “hurts so good.”

Here is California governor and greaseball Gavin “Gruesome” Newsom test driving a Chinese EV on his trip to China to undercut Biden’s dying reelection prospects.

Remove the govt mandates and tax dollars going into EV's and the costs will go down.

If the only people paying the extra costs for EV's were consumers in a free market, the EV makers and charging providers would figure out how to do it cheap enough to sell in the free market. But as long as govt money comes in for the EV industry, those in the industry will keep figuring out reasons their products and services should cost more.

Also good to keep in mind — although I don’t know the actual cost of gasoline, it is certainly less than the $3.50 a gallon (or whatever) people are currently paying. Tons of taxes are loaded into the price of that gasoline.

So the price difference is absolutely huge. People cannot afford EV.

Biden is owned by China, Ukraine, Iran, and Russia. Various others just live off of their scraps…

Last week China instituted export controls on EV battery-grade graphite to the West, of which they control about 90% of the market.

Want to cut them off at the knees?

tell them - keep it. The US Government is not giving one more penny to development of EVs. If people want to buy them, its their own decision.

"So the price difference is absolutely huge. People cannot afford EV."

Look at the chart. I don't know what the numbers mean but most of the total is not for the EV.

Even better, the insurance companies are refusing to insure EVs because of the fire hazard (and not just to the cars themselves, but to adjacent cars, buildings, etc.

To quote Dr. McCoy: “They’re dead, Jim.”

Sorry if I’m being dense and missing your point. As I interpret that chart, the reading should go Right to Left — the COST is $17 a gallon for EV. But then a credit is built into the system, which brings the apparent cost down. Then another credit. Then another credit. By the time the homeowner is charging their car, they are pleased with the apparent cost of $1.21 per gallon. Such a bargain!

But on the gasoline side, an equivalent chart would read Left to Right — the COST of gas might actually be $1.21. But then a tax is added to it. Then another tax. Then another tax. By the time the car owner is fueling at the gas station, the real cost of the fuel is $3.50 a gallon. Well, at least it’s down from $4.00!

“But on the gasoline side, an equivalent chart would read Left to Right — the COST of gas might actually be $1.21.”

Most of the costs are borne by gas car owners their actual coat per gallon used will be much higher than $3.50.

“The actual cost of charging an electric vehicle is $17 per gallon”

But heck we’re saving the planet because as everyone knows electricity is free.

Delaware Plug-in Hybrid Auto Plant Has ‘Rebirth’ With $528 million US Funding, Biden Says
Hunter gets a $125,000 Fisker sports car
Company went belly-up soon after Biden gaveaway tax dollars loan

Then Vice President Joe Biden said the purchase of a former General Motors Corp. assembly plant in his home state using government financing would be a “rebirth” for the plug-in hybrids auto plant. Biden was at a former GM plant in Wilmington, Delaware, to announce its purchase by Fisker Automotive Inc.

The Delaware company will use a $528.7 million federal loan to help fund the purchase and retrofit the factory. The closely held startup will spend $175 million to upgrade the plant, where it expects to build as many as 100,000 plug-in hybrid cars.
