Which is why there is no real “emerging market” for EVs in the United States as much as there’s an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, endless state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts. The green “revolution” is an elite-driven, top-down technocratic project.
And 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.
the tech hasnt really changed in a century
my take is EVs and gas are both just tools that can be used whenever appropriate
ebikes are a great EV-like tool for short distances (or regular bike if ya wanna)
for a while the narrative was EVs were superior suppressed tech, now theyre being sold as overpriced tech. my take is it’s probably possible to build decent EVs like the aptera solarmobile
and then there’s hybrids
and then there’s cars that run on biofuel
maybe more options to consider than EV vs GAS
