Electric Cars Are An Expensive Scam

If EVs were really an innovation, the state wouldn’t have to bribe and force companies to produce them.

it’s increasingly clear that the only reason giant rent-seeking carmakers are so heavily invested in EV development is that government is promising to artificially limit the production of gas-powered cars.

Yep. Overpriced and not really "saving the environment!" They take hours to charge, you have to map out where the chargers are before any trip and God help you when it's time for a new $25,000 battery. Or if your EV spontaneously catches fire. What powers the electric generation plants that run these? Usually coal-fired or natural gas-fired power plants, no? Not to mention the mineral mining that has to happen to make these cars possible.
