Electric Vehicles are like the trend in the 50’s and 60’s of little cars like the Messerschmitt.
The goal is for everyone but those in charge to use public transportation, so there is no problem.
Just verifies that the old Russian Communist central planning just doesn’t work well in free societies.
The only reason to buy a Lightening is as a garage queen collectible.
The truck is going to depreciate quickly and may eventually in 50 years these trucks may appeal to a collector
It’s not that problems are plaguing the industry, it that the natural stupidity of the concept finally is coming to the fore.
It’s an immature technology. But, like Krucschev’s corn crop and fouchy’s ouchies, let’s jam it on them anyway.
Gov’t allows lying about how good mileage the electric vehicles have and gives $7,500 rebates to rich people who can afford to buy them and of course the dealers raise the price of the electric by $7,500....
You're absolutely right. But it's also 190-year old technology. Two different Scotsmen (independently) made their own battery-powered cars in the 1830s. EIGHTEEN thirties.
So the operative question becomes, which will mature first, the battery-powered automobile, ... or cold fusion.
