Trump's phony oil control war is doing what he claims he hates - driving uptake of EV's

But can the electricity grids cope with a huge upheavel in registered EV's on public roads?

You almost have to ask about what investsments does Trump and his wider family group have in EV-related businesses so they derive lots of profit from the phony war.

I'm not worried about pump prices for fuel here until they get to $10 a litre (4 to 5 times the current prices), but plenty of people are being brainwashed by the Cult of Electric Jesus into leasing a new EV without understanding the long-term use case.

That's what soaring gas prices will do!!

AAA reports US average gas prices now are $4.30, up from $2.87 at the end of Jan 2026. That's a 50% increase in 3 months, quite a price shock! What does that mean for the broader economy??

High energy prices, specifically oil price shocks, have been a contributing factor to roughly 4 to 6 major U.S. recessions in the last 50 years. Nearly all post-World War II recessions saw preceding oil price spikes, with major examples including the 1973–75 oil embargo, the 1979–80 energy crisis, the 1990–91 Gulf War recession, and the 2007–2008 financial crisis.
