[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1540372, member: 35543"] It has nothing to do with not being open to new technology, the issue is the people who are pushing this technology are the ones (Muskrat) who are profiting from it. The Muskrats of the EV world want to dominate the market and rake in huge profits at the expense of the tax payer. In other words, the middle class. The government subsidies (EV tax credit) is a perfect example, wealthy people buying 100k electric cars and getting a tax credit for it on the backs of the working class. Who do you think is going to finance the tens of billions in infrastructure upgrades necessary to make EVs a mainstream alternative? It’s not coming out of Tesla’s bottom line, that you can be sure of. It once again falls on tax payers, who continue to finance a government that is trillions in debt already. Those who will benefit from EVs are companies like Amazon, who can lower their operating costs and increase profit. If they want to adopt EVs, they should be the ones paying for the necessary infrastructure to support their fleet. Not the government. It’s ridiculous that the consumer is always the one to take the financial hit. They blame cars for climate change, but ignore the billions of tons of unregulated, unfiltered pollution put out by the shipping industry, airlines, and heavy trucking industry. Never mind the pollution generated by industries in China and India, which are the top 2 polluters in the world. Even if every vehicle on the road was an EV we wouldn’t put a dent in that. Combine that with the fact that the US electricity grid relies on 62.7% fossil fuels to generate electricity, EVs have little to no impact on climate change. But the people driving them, just like the Prius, think they are saving the world. [/QUOTE]
