New purchase incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act appear to be nudging electric-vehicle buyers toward trucks, SUVs, and vans. Tax-credit eligibility is capped at $55,000 for cars but allows a customer to spend up to $80,000 on a truck. And that new electric fleet will be heavy. The all-wheel-drive version of Volkswagen's electric SUV, the ID.4 Pro, weighs 4886 pounds, which is 879 pounds more than a loaded Tiguan. A Hummer EV SUV weighs 8660 pounds, nearly 2000 more than the old Hummer H1, the really big military one. Sure, the new EV Hummer might be good for party tricks—it hits 60 mph in a mind-boggling 3.4 seconds—but weight is the enemy of efficiency, and isn't that the whole point here?
. . . Ford's Super Duty and its peers from Chevy, GMC, and Ram will stick around not just for truck lovers but also for those who may have been more comfortable with a smaller engine and remain resistant to switching to electric. "The use of high-luxury HD pickups for commuting by wealthier buyers is the canary in the coal mine for that trend," [contributing editor John] Voelcker predicts.
In Back to the Future, Doc Brown asked, "Why are things so heavy in the future?" We finally have an answer: the unintended consequences of regulation.
That's called a missle. That alone makes every cars safety standards obscelete overnight. That makes car accidents instant death.
Yes: the added tonnage of EVs makes for higher-energy collisions and WILL cause more death and serious injury.
The "Light My Fire" aspect of EV batteries will also increase vehicle-related death and injury.
"Vaxxidents", with people Dying Suddenly while behind the wheel, will do the same.
The psychopathic "elite's" depopulation agenda rolls on . . .
