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.

My brothers Tesla takes 40 mins to get 80% charge at a supercharger or overnight at home via his solar panels , oh and supercharger is free as part of deal when he bought it. All it has cost him is new tyres after 4 years .

@Dacrowman Average Tesla cost: $46,000. Yippy. Not a big deal for the rich Democrats but certainly out of the price range of most Americans.
