    "All of this is because this rapid push by Democrats has been poorly thought out. From an increased reliance on Chinese manufacturing to the use of fossil fuels to power charging stations, the country was not prepared for this massive, rushed transition. California, in the midst of a full embrace of both electric vehicles and wind and solar energy, had to tell residents not to charge their EVs during peak hours to avoid crashing its frail energy grid. And that is before forcing another 15 million or so drivers into EVs in the coming years.

    ...On top of this, electric vehicles simply aren’t worth it compared to gas-powered cars. Aside from the aforementioned repair costs, EVs cost more, are more unreliable thanks to battery issues and sparse charging stations, and come with other problems involving body panels and interior parts. People are being asked to embrace all of this even as China continues to pump even more carbon emissions into the air, making the environmental impact questionable (along with the problems involving fossil fuel-powered charging stations and lithium mining for batteries)."

    ps Apart from all that, who wants to miss out on the smell of a hot internal combustion engine
