Electric vehicles are: 1) inefficient-can only go a short distance, about 170 miles, before a recharge is needed, 2) there are not enough charging stations, so you are confined to close areas-which fits in with their 15 minute city plans, 3) electric vehicle charging stations use regular fuel sources to provide the power, which makes running the vehicle more costly, 4) unreliable regarding charging in cold weather, 5) vehicles are very costly for the average individual, 6) battery replacement is very expensive, 7) batteries are produced mainly in China which makes us further dependent on a foreign country, 8) just like windmills, electric batteries will provide further pollution in landfills leaching into the ground, 9) batteries so far are not recyclable, 10) when stuck in an accident, snowstorm, evacuation from a hurricane, you will use your charge up and further delay evacuation and put your life and others in danger. If this isn’t enough to make you say no, then I don’t know what is.
All good points. One more point, though not related to environmental impact. Where I live some people use the charging stations (located in parking spaces next to shops) for parking. Probably the same folks who also illegally occupy handicap parking for convenience. No enforcement by police.
Rivian is an American-made electric truck. Trump's Truth here is that we need to stop outsourcing the jobs to China. For all we know, Trump could be promoting Rivian with that Truth. But instead you put your own spin on it that all electric vehicles are bad because electric... even though that isn't what Trump even truthed, despite the fact that you started your post with DJT Truth.
If you want to report on the news, at least keep it honest! We are the news now! But we're no better if we're just putting our own spins on things, like the MSM before us. We are the news, but only if we can report it accurately.
Sure, but if you start your post with the words DJT Truth, naturally the "truth" would follow.
I drive an electric vehicle for local areas. I don't do it because i believe it to be environmentally friendly. I do it because i care about my wallet. I can get much more range, for much less money, than you do with gas....
But I'm not going to attack you for wanting to drive a gas powered vehicle, i just don't understand your hatred for electric vehicles. Especially since the Truth that you retruthed wasn't anti-electric cars at all!
Let UAW sink to the bottom - where they belong. ( Socialist UNION commies ) - Secondly - Boat motors , Outboard Motors - used to be 100HP Two Strokes / now - 250 HP 4 stroke monstrosities. Third - Motocrsoss bikes , used to be 250CC two Strokes - NOW 450CC Four Stroke's. Twice the moving parts , twice the expense , twice the gasoline. Fourth - back in the day , 327ci V8 / 350 hp / 350 ft lbs torc - today - 6.0 liter SMOG DOG chocked up Big Block. All these "Modern Conveniences" have taken us ONLY backwards. Keep it "Simple - Stupid" !
Loved the two stroke motorcycles as a kid. In HS circa 1970 I had an awesome cherry red Kawasaki 500 (3 cylinder 2 stroke) that beat anything else around.
Not talked about much...but all that BS about "the future is electric" has a lot to do with GM, Ford, etc being on board with the idea of EV's so they can close their engine plants. Instead of an engine, cars would come with cheap battery packs from China. While they charge the same, if not more, for a car with less range and utility. The govt "tax breaks" provide incentives for EV land yachts that cost $80k on up.
Car companies LOVE that business model. Force you to buy their product, charge you more, you get less. And EV's are worthless in 8 years when the battery pack shits the bed, thereby killing the used market.
No, it just means they are narcissists who constantly come up with schemes to try and make people dependent on them.
it means that you expect “them” to win.
Lol. No.
They're getting decimated by white hats who fight on multiple fronts. The world is being reshaped, but the same old narcissists who control the criminal network and prior system are trying everything they can to keep people dependent and blind.
They are losing, but like all narcissists. The more they lose control they louder they scream and try to cover it up by creating lies.
there will be pretty effective ways for “them” to do what they want anyway.
MS-13 has been mass arrested and locked away in El Salvador. Honduras is doing the same. Land routes for drug cartels are being blocked which is why they are getting more violent and desperate.
The louder MSN screams, the more desperately they try to cover up their failings. The reason they try to doom here and elsewhere is because those that defend the former system are afraid of a world where decent people are allowed to live without THEM.
They have lost. They are losing. They will completely lose soon. One only has to look past the shrill screams of the MSN and the decimated howls of the remaining insurgent/ antifa to see it.
Of course the more they lose the louder they'll wail and project.
Not sure where your doom is coming from. Maybe you need to step back and see the big picture.
There are some positive environmental impacts of EVs if you compare them to shit.
For centuries mankind has reallocated shit from where people live to where they don’t.
Same thing with EVs, a coal fueled power plant will never make an EV more environmental friendly, but at least it reallocates the harmful pollutants (NoX etc) from where many people live like Atlanta to where fewer people live like Juliette.
I know that this forum hates EVs, but one thing’s for sure, EVs will drastically reduce local air pollution.
But there are differences between how EVs are produced. Elons Musks Tesla claims that 0% of their Lithium and other minerals comes from artisanal mining, other manufacturers have no such policy.
Just because there are thousands killed by oil drilling in Africa each year, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy petroleum products at all?
No, DJT didn’t say no to EVs because of a globalist plan, he said no to EVs because that will mean the death of the car industry in the US because China owns a huge part of the EV production. Huge difference.
I’m 100% certain that the EU and US can take back much of that lead if they put the energy into it.
The US has two big producers with great products; Tesla with the S3XY line, and Ford with the Mach-e. EU has VW iD line, Skoda, BMW, Mercedes etc.
One huge problem is that US under Biden, and EU since always have sold their soul to China. If the EU and US do what Trump did with tariffs, our competition against cheap Chinese products would be fair again.
EVs are the future, and we need to heat our act together to bring the production lines back to the west.

Also Li-ion batteries are far more prone to fire if battery overheats or cell is breached and these fires are not easy to control

He didn't say anything about the environment here. Just that having an all-electric fleet would be made by the Chinese, taking work away from America.
He's promoting American businesses here, not necessarily gas powered vehicles.
You start the title of your post with "DJT Truth", then proceed to make up your own quote that he didn't even say, in that same title.
You sound like you work for the MSM.

UAW has a ripple effect in Michigan where other industries follow suit. After this strike, not just the uaw workers in michigan will get a raise.

Restricting people's mobility is part of the goal.
You don’t think “they” will be able to do that with petroleum?
Gas crisis, higher gas prices, but going electric is just more efficient.
For the mantra : “if you buy an EV, they will be able to control us more efficiently” to become true, it means that you expect “them” to win.
If “they” win, it doesn’t matter if you own an EV or ICE, there will be pretty effective ways for “them” to do what they want anyway.
“Oh you’ve filled 10 gallons of gas this month, no beef for you”.
No, it just means they are narcissists who constantly come up with schemes to try and make people dependent on them.
Lol. No.

We’re discussing two different things now.
I agree 100% with what you wrote above.
My comment was aimed at your claim that EVs was part of the grand scheme of restricting our mobility.
My argument is for that to work, “they” must win,
I give them 0% chance of winning, hence the EV mobility issue is a non argument.
Sounds good. Glad we are clearing the misunderstanding then.
No electricity vehicles, Yes to electric chairs!
Chinese-built cars with chinese-built batteries? What could possibly go wrong?
In a nutshell ---- they are globalist ---- can't compete domestically.
They want to grab the market by the lithium balls
Biden will send a few bucks to the UAW leadership and like magic they will vote Biden... the Morons never learn their lessons.
UAW strikes soon this month. They are going to hit hard, so I've heard.

I know that this forum hates EVs, but one thing’s for sure, EVs will drastically reduce local air pollution.
If you think any other industry is any better, you’re pretty naive.
Everything you buy from China is made from (Chinese/African) slave laboring.
One problem with EVs are that owners and enthusiasts come out as “holier than thou”, and I absolutely see that aspect.
But to hate on EVs and turn a blind eye to everything else produced under the exact same circumstances are absurd.
I wouldn’t be able to by anything with that logic.
100% agree.
But there are differences between how EVs are produced. Elons Musks Tesla claims that 0% of their Lithium and other minerals comes from artisanal mining, other manufacturers have no such policy.
