Suckers
Never mind the fact that it is not possible to make an electric vehicle that can compete on true cost of owning and operating with a gas powered vehicle. Never mind the billions of government subsidies (tax dollars) squandered on efforts to coerce manufacturers to produce EVs. Never mind the wasted tax dollars poured into failed battery production schemes.
Anyone who actually knows anything about looking after a motor vehicle also knows that the single weakest part of the machine is the damned battery. And the colder the climate you live in the lower the reliability of the damned battery. Making anyone who lives above the 49th parallel ... that buys an EV ... a double plus all day sucker.

Electric Cars: The Environmentally Friendly Way of Losing Money Since 2009
A Congressional Budget Office report released in the fall tells Obama what the rest of us have known for some time: Your bet on electric cars wasn’t an investment, but a gamble; a dumb gamble.
And now you’ve just come up snake eyes.
“Despite the federal government pumping $7.5 billion into the electric vehicle industry in the United States through 2019,” writes the CSMonitor.com, “overall national gasoline consumption is unlikely to be significantly affected, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).”
The CBO says that even if Obama increased the amount of the subsidy, it would make little difference to the gasoline usage or emissions output because automakers would still be required to hit fuel efficiency targets. Instead, the CBO says that either a tax on gasoline or carbon is the only way to increase the attractiveness of electric cars to consumers.
Duh. That’s because electric cars don’t save gas, they don’t save money and they don’t save the “planet.” They are only a vanity-plumping, amenity purchase for the metro-testicled.

Where is all the electricity going to come from? Wind towers, algae, etc obama farts and unicorn crap?
EV's are stupid and not ready for prime time. I say drill, mine, explore with good environmental standards and practices and the EPA needs to be neutered, if not killed. This is where the real jobs are.
Nuclear? Absolutely and solar is the only green power worth a darn but we have seen how well that industry is working
Well ..... if people would stop voting for idiots ... we would not have to deal with the fallout of this sort.
