It really is concerning how polarized we've become, with each new politician trying to push some more extreme variant of their brand of politics. We don't have centrists voted in any more, "center left" and "center right" keep drifting from each other.Any change that doesn't come about as a natural progression is going to be fraught with stupidity. Especially one that is forced by the government.
The push for EVs has so many facets of stupidity, it's hard to mention them all. Perhaps most telling is that every single time you encounter a person who is pro-EV, they inevitably have little grasp of physics, economics, or just about any practical aspect of life.
If a person supports EVs, there is a good chance they are also vegan, gay, smoke dope every day, are good dancers, hate guns, and don't own any tools other than a screwdriver in a plastic case that has 12 interchangeable bits.
Certainly, for some they make sense. With all the tax incentives, artificially high gas prices, tighter and tighter restrictions on combustion engines, and upcoming ban of internal combustion engine sales in CA, they make sense for more people now than they ever have before. A whopping 5.6% of US new car sales in the last quarter were fully electric. That can hardly be viewed as wide-spread adoption. I'm totally on board with the idea that we will run out of oil and we need to find a suitable replacement, I'm just concerned we are trying to force a new technology on an unwilling populace before that technology is mature enough to sustain such a demand.Well ,people already want to buy them.....even those with the $100k to spend are facing long waits.....and the more mass market models are over a years wait.
That makes just as much sense as "The push to retain ICE's has so many facets of stupidity, it's hard to mention them all.

For most folks who live in a single family house, they are better. People do want to buy them. That's why cars like the Tesla Model Y have a 6 month wait list.When EV's are genuinely better than combustion engine vehicles, people will want to buy them.
Has anyone tabulated the carbon footprint that bus just stomped into the asphalt ?

You're twisting what I said. The wait is absolutely indicative of people wanting them.The wait for EVs proves absolutely nothing; there are waits for normal vehicles too. And, we see people waiting in line for all sorts of things - we can hardly use that as the go-by for determining what is smart.
