It is about having power over the lives of others.
The goal is an immobilized peasantry that can travel only with permissions and instructions from the rulers.
The intermediate step is to "mandate" replacement of existing vehicles with ones that are more expensive and less capable. Then keep tightening the nooses by regulatory changes until ordinary people simply cannot afford or use any form of personal transportation.
Electric Vehicles are a "bait and switch".
I live in hill country. The paved country roads have a 55 mph speed limit. It’s 25 miles to the nearest grocery store. 35 miles to the nearest industrial park for a manufacturing job. 60 miles to a metro type area for good office jobs with 25 of it being the interstate hwy. It snows and we get a lot of ice coating everything and temps can get below zero.
Maybe in attitude.
I have done cross country trips (several more than 2500 miles one way) on a motorcycle.
A "cage" (enclosed vehicle) is much more capable, comfortable, and safer, just because of the weather, not to mention other vehicles.
Let me preface this with I owned a Mazda pick up back in the 80s. Every part was a minimum $100. Items that would cost around $10 on a Honda or Toyota. I’ll never buy another.
No kidding. I get it, ‘most’ people in a suburban/urban area drive around town 90% of the time . . . but almost all people also have a 70+ mile drive at least a couple times a year. In terms of round trip, a 35 miles is a laughably short distance.
The next leftist engineering feat will to construct all roadways on a downhill grade.
Trip and fire hazard, what with extension cords all over the sidewalks.
Coal powered? Butt, butt, butt the chick from GM, when asked where the power comes from said “From the building.”. Whaaa waaa waaaa! 🤡
BOTH WAYS!............................
It looks like they’re just turning a gas engine car into an EV not a complete redesign
They should have called it the Trabant.

or put doors on your golf cart
criminy, bert
future what?
landfill candidate?
Which is fine. It is the forcing people into this I object to.
If someone wants to buy a overpriced car that has limited range and can serve as a human broiler, that is their prerogative.
At that price, I am passing even with the desirable human broiler option.
you're saying it, but most people even on FR aren't listening. The people who are ramming EVs down our throats aren't stupid enough to believe that they're as good as petrol fueled vehicles. And all this crap about "climate change" is just that - crap. So why get us out of our vehicles - CONTROL. Lot easier to control the serfs if they can't travel very far.
LOL
now you know why they have building all of those bike lanes
An insult to trabants everywhere.
I once overheard the well traveled mother of an employer say this:
We travel all over the world and have noticed that the workers in most other countries don't own a car or big house and they seem perfectly happy. Why can't our workers be like that?
There's a lot of people who don't think the workers deserve to drive or own a house. Factory workers and many blue collar types buy used cars because that's all they can afford. There will be no decent, affordable used EVs due to the short lifespan and replacement costs of the battery.
