"He also wanted an environmentally friendly vehicle as owning one is "responsible citizenship these days."
"Responsible ownership" eh? Does he mean that imaginary "social contract" where people make poor choices and government never faces any consequences for its bad decisions? Do-gooders everywhere should learn from this, but they won't. The Karens of the world get more mileage from being victims and socially "aware" than they would get from products and ideas that actually work.
I love how the morons who own these shit heaps completely ignore the manufacturing process of the batteries that run them and the increased power drain to run them
Feel bad for this traveler but my favorite part from the story was this:
Bala ultimately had the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership in Elk River and rented a regular gas vehicle to complete the family’s trip to Chicago.
Think EV-lovers will learn from that???
Also, I appreciated his quote:
People have to make the right choices. I want to tell everybody to read my story," he said. "Do your research before even thinking about it and make a wiser choice.
At least he learned his lesson. We have a CHOICE. We're not sheep
And then when everyone has switched over they can limit our use per week (remotely), essentially rolling blackouts, cause we the cause. These people are sick.
For this to come into effect the DS/WEF/NWO have to win this war.
If they do (God forbid), you think diesel/petrol vehicles will be sanction free?
EVs are awesome, mine goes from 0-60 in less than 5 seconds for the third of the price of the petrol equivalent.
Maybe North America is not equipped enough with HPCs, but I’ve travelled thousands of miles across Europe without any problems in my different EVs since my first Model S 6 years ago.
Wall boxes here in Europe are cheap as well, and houses here in Scandinavia are usually equipped with a 11kW system anyway, so no need for expensive upgrades.
I don’t buy into the “green” part though, and some EVs might actually be more net polluting than an ICE equivalent.
But they’re just so much more fun to drive, and I don’t understand the hate EVs get on this forum from people that have never driven one, and bases their view from extreme cases like this.
Talking about price to "fill up" is irrelevant, as that price actively rises the more strain there is on the electrical system and the more they swap out efficient energy generation with inefficient energy generation.
The price of an EV to fill up in 10 years -- assuming your battery lives that long -- will rise substantially and look nowhere near the same as it does now.
Some people hate on EVs for the wrong reasons, but some people apparently have a very short sighted view on the things they proclaim as positive to boot.
I get what you mean and I can't say it is all evil. But when they are claiming we are changing the weather and hurting the environment, at the same time "Hey everyone, let's use rare Earth metal batteries and get everyone on e-cars!"
I think their intention is just to have everything as digital as possible, very little mechanical (e.g. cars.)
My point is essentially that they are lying to get what they want. Remember when they attacked BTC due to the environment? Years ago I said it's great as you can use excess energy to mine and essentially store energy. Now that Blackrock bought in, that is what they are saying. And people parrot that like when it was "bad".
They can shutdown regular gas powered vehicles as well. It was Ford that said if you miss a payment they will start turning off features. They already control that. I just think they want to toy with the sheep
Ha yea, well, I like to delete the emissions and put louder mufflers on everything too so, until they all rust away I'll stick with my pre-96s. Reupholster the seats and a nice stereo in the dash and I don't even feel like I'm missing out on anything not buying new.
They want you to get EV's to further limit your freedom of movement.

He was actually proving W.C, Fields and PT Barnum's famous statements.....
" There's a sucker born every minute."
"A fool and his money are soon parted."
My question is always, how did a fool and his money get together to begin with?.
Probably the old fasioned way, inherited it or married it! 😄
That’s a good one!

common core.
It's all money making scheme, they know batteries are bad for the environment so they make them in other shithole countries

Yupp and on top of that Govs like Michigan are considering GPS tracking milage tax rather than just gas tax. Uh, fuck no.
That is a feature, not a bug for demanding that people drive EVs and high mileage tiny cars.
The Feds and the states have been demanding more and more efficient vehicles all the while ignoring the obvious reduction in gas tax.
It's the same old playbook, use govt to create a problem and then use even more govt to propose a solution.

I would not own a vehicle made after about 10 years ago without swapping it to a standalone ECU.
You could always just snip the antenna wire that goes to that shark fin on the roof.
Can't control what they can't communicate with.
Just cover it in foil...😂
