Fight the Right‘It’s stupid’: why western carmakers’ retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance.
oscarfalconFuck them, let them fail, suck the tit of Petroleum and die like the dinosaurs...
Except they're doing their best to buy politicians who impose tariffs on imported EVs.
Chris@Nigel_Purchase I got a lease on an EV a couple years ago and need to figure out what to do when it's up. My thinking at the time was that we'd surely have more and better choices for EVs in 3 years...not so sure about that any more
Yes, it's become more difficult in the US. Can you extend the lease, or buy it out on acceptable terms?
mtnrbq65What's that line about history rhyming rather than repeating?
We need to be asking our elected politicians exactly why they want to keep us dependant on oil - it is a fundamental supply chain risk for virtually everything, why do we keep swinging back to it?
The cynical may regard this as a rhetorical question - "duh! It's corruption!", but very keen to have some politicians asked about this directly and not allowed to fudge the question.
Steve's Place@mtnrbq65 @Nigel_Purchase It is because war runs on oil.
Mark OheThe truth is, it’s beyond stupid.
“The freedom to choose?” Without a doubt people will exercise that freedom and nearly all legacy automakers will all be irrelevant within 10 years. Good riddance.
Andy@Nigel_Purchase folks should be more interested in riding a bike than consuming coal with an EV
That sounds good. Except .....
I used to cycle to work, and I used to cycle for pleasure.
I was frequently knocked off my bike by cars. When I shouted at one motorist for coming far too close to me, he stopped his car and got out and threatened me.
After my last accident, i never cycled again, and gave away my bike and my cycling knicks.
So-called cycling lanes are hopeless.
I loved cycling, but I'll never cycle again.
@Nigel_Purchase Sorry, that is awful. Biking is dangerous, no debate there.

Proof that ev's are coming, like it or not. The Current oil l crisis is proof that change is only going to repeat. Individual solar panels should cost roughly the same as a furnace .
