Alongside federal tax incentives for EVs, Biden has ambitions to make two-thirds of new vehicle sales electric by 2032. He also plans to build a network of 500,000 chargers across the country.

Brandon will spend your loot way past his expiration date.

Doesn’t matter. The dems have determined that you ‘want’ an EV. It’s just a matter of convincing you.

Thank God Biden will be gone by 2032, along with his rotten tribe of grifters

EVs remind me of my Ion battery hand tools. They’re great when the battery is up, but a pain in the you-know-what when they go flat in the middle of a job. That’s why I always default to a hard-wired tool on jobs where dependable, long-term power is required.

“Teething issues”? Further proving that EV consumers are boobs.

The real problem for EV’s is TESLA.

TESLA is, most others aren’t

'This story is really one of growing pains,' said Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports. 'It's a story of just working out the bugs and the kinks of new technology.'

Jake's got a point with this comment. I have been thinking for a while that the current slew of EV's is the electric equivalent of a 286 or 386 processor on a PC 40 years ago.

All they need to do is make the vehicle lighter and less susceptible to spontaneous combustion. And make the tires last longer. And make the charging process quicker and less abusive on the battery. And make the vehicle out of more common elements.

Come to think of it, using a flux capacitor as the primary propelling source for 0-87 MPH would be the best solution.

Why is someone at a testing reporting agency making excuses in amelioration of the affect of an aspect of his report. Doesn’t sound very professional to me. Sounds like he’s got a side he favors.

Oh yes, let’s force the serfs into electric cages while we work out the “bugs.”

The electric automobile, 190 years old, still not ready for prime time.

All of the wealthy elites will ALWAYS drive or ride in gasoline or diesel powered vehicles.

They will never have to suffer the shortcomings of inferior vehicles available to the peasants.

Across the street neighbor bought a brand new Tesla last week.

On Monday, it was hauled away on a flat bed truck.

It’s a new technology. And really anybody that remembers 70s cars would probably still see them as pretty reliable. The age of family vacations where the fam is driving to Tampa, or until the car breaks down.

Buy one of your kids a toy electric car for Christmas and see if it’s still around next Christmas.

Our son recently leased an EV and sadly a few weeks later was rear ended while stopped at a light. While the body damage was seemingly superficial and fortunately the batteries were not compromised, repairs cost nearly $12,000 due to all the sensors and other electronics and the mostly plastic body panels. There was apparently only one body shop in the western Twin Cities that repairs EVs and the repairs took more than three weeks to complete. I can’t imagine the problems trying to get an EV repaired outside of any major metropolitan area

“experts suggest they’re just teething issues”

yep, any day now, EVs won’t be 80% less reliable than ICE autos ... any day now ... batteries will be ten times as energy-dense as they are now ... any day now ... batteries will fully charge in a few minutes ... any day now ... EVs won’t have to be totaled by insurance companies due to even the slightest damage that MIGHT have occurred to black-box construction of one-ton batteries built into a skateboard chassis ... any day now ... ten trillion dollars worth of reliable roadside chargers powered by a ginormous new, cheap electricity supply will replace all gas stations ... any day now ...

any day now, folks, any day now ...
