@@klausuhlig7141 😂😂😂 as ignorant as Kennedy, prices of EVs have dropped around the world, as there are more and more of them, from all car manufacturers.
The question isn't whether EVs are better than ICEVs, the question is what the heck gives the Federal government the right to force either. Let the market decide.
EV had been done in Asia for awhile. It's ironic that Asians are much more perceptive to the potential and inevitable failure of EVs. Sure there is a rise but it's still not dominant enough to overtake ICE cars. Malaysia for example, has such cheap petrol, the citizens prefers ICE over EV. Singapore, where cars are ridiculously expensive, is a great city to go 100% EV, but due to battery warranties and lifespan, many would choose not to buy an EV, simply because of lack of 3rd party servicing and battery replacement services. The only 2 countries that are seeing a rise in EV sales are China and Thailand. China because they have tons of car brands, and Thailand because they want cheap luxury and EVs in general are cheap luxury. But they are horrible to drive in Thailand, especially if you need to go to different provinces. I honestly do not believe that EVs will ever overtake ICEs simply because gas is still an option and so long as battery life of EVs are still not more than 10years, it will never overtake it.
I work with Ev-chargers, Circle K and Zap-tech etc. It is useless tech. The chargers overheat and burn up very often, and no one have any idea what to do with the used chargers. My warehouse is 50% full of useless Electric Waste that no one wants to deal with.
I got out of a movie around 11pm just last week and I had parked on the other side of the mall. I’m walking to my car and I see this line of like 8 vehicles from afar and I couldn’t tell what was going on… As I got closer I realized they were waiting in line to charge their cars at one of three charging stations in the mall parking lot. Blew my mind. These people were waiting an hour or more to charge their vehicle at 11pm on a Saturday night; some had their kids in the car. I hopped into my gas powered car and happily drove off.
That sounds like poor planning on their parts. Some people get so excited on the performance model test drives and buy one. I drove one once and the exceleration was incredible.
That Davis guy represents 90% of Americans, "I didn't buy one because I may need to drive 450-500 miles." EXACTLY! When you actually need to drive you want a car you can trust will keep running whether you're in California, Iowa, Florida, or NY.
Agree! I live in Texas. These cars just don’t fit my needs. It’s not unusual to drive 2.5 -3 hrs to get to the next big city. Much of that is open highway. Few places to charge. If the battery fails they are basically bricked until I can afford to 6k - 15K or more to replace it.

There are dozens of windmills around where I live. They don't always have wind to turn them. Where I live, the sun doesn't shine at night. So we need coal and oil to generate a continuing base of electric power when alternate sources don't produce.
@@erie910 Nuclear is the way forward. That is indisputable. But fossil fuels have to do until then. A primarily renewable energy powered system is nothing more than pipe dream, imo
Converting natural gas and even coal to electrical powerat a power plant to charge a battery miles away to power an electric motor to move a 4,000 lb vehicle is STILL more efficient than ICE vehicles. Gas engines are incredibly inefficient. I don't have any issue with you driving them, and I completely oppose EV mandates and tax credits. But we do have to acknowledge the facts of the matter.
If solar was efficient then these EV cars would have them on their roof and power companies would have them on every rooftop, on every mall , etc. I drive from Va to Me and an EV would not currently be desirable.

@@ytmndanask anyone on the transmission or generation side of electricity production and they will laugh their kiester off! We are already near max capacity in most markets. Evs make up
Because the NWO coup wants to do everything it can to demoralize and tyrannize the American people in every way it can all at once. Success depends on it.
Because it gives the government more control over each individual. If they can shut down your bank account and they can shut down your car, and they control your food, they control you.
Two things - does your flat have a gas station at it? If not, then how on earth do you manage to get gas?!? Second, charging stations are not often as noticeable as gas stations. They don't need their own separate buildings since they don't present the same explosive hazards as gas stations. Every EV can locate the nearest charger, and there are tons of apps that update in real-time with locations, the status of chargers at those locations, and often the price per kWh.
@@TheRoark85 If it only takes 2 minutes, then you don't drive very far at all. Get an EV, plug it in while you go shopping, eat in a restaurant, read a book in a library, or any number of other things that people do on the daily and you wouldn't even have to waste that two minutes. Not to mention that most of those places offer free charging.
The whole electric car thing is a scam , anyone with Hal has brain cell knows u reinforce the grid and charging station before u start making the cars smh

I dont trust these cars and i dont like that they keep track of where im going and what im doing and my insurance company shouldnt be able to contact my car info and moniter me as well. This is a violation of my freedom and right to pursuit of happiness and my personal liberties.
Seriously, take off the tin-foil hat. Your insurance company isn't tracking your car to see where you are going, and even if they could - they couldn't figure out what you're doing just because of that. Jesus.. the paranoia is palatable.... Also, I hate to burst your bubble of anonymity, but if you have a car right now that was built after 1990, it has a computer inside of it that could do the same thing.
Do you mean infrastructure as in the electrical grid? If so, you are completely wrong. Right now, EVs use about 0.2% of the electricity produced in the US. For comparison, bitcoin mining used between 0.6% and 2.3% in 2023. That's 3 to 11 times more than EVs used. If EVs are a strain, then there should definitely be a national uproar over bitcoin mining. Also, keep in mind that the average house uses about 8 times the electricity an EV will per month. Using that ratio, I think it is safe to say that gas stations probably use the same if not more than a house, especially since so many are 24/7 now. So, that means each gas station uses as much as 8 EVs per year. There are approximately 196,643 retail gas locations in the US, and about 3.3 million EVs (4th quarter 2023). That means that gas stations alone are using just over half as much electricity as EVs are. People always seem to forget that part. If by infrastructure, you mean charging stations, then you are wrong. There are enough chargers to go anywhere in the US. It can't all be done on DC fast chargers, which I do think needs to be resolved, but it can be done.
@@eli6019 that is simply not true. There are not enough charging stations for people to feel comfortable buying an EV. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Biden signed in November 2021, included $7.5 billion for EV charging. Of that, $5 billion was allocated to individual states in so-called “formula funding” to build a network of fast chargers along major highways in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, or NEVI, program.Mar 28, 20
@@jamescrane7034 Everything I have said is true, and easily verified by just looking it up. The key phrase in your argument is "for people to feel comfortable". Sure, range anxiety and fear of completely new driving habits is normal, but they are feelings. Feelings are not facts. The fact is, you can drive anywhere in the US with a 250-300 mile range EV. Again, you won't always have a DC fast charger to use, but chargers are available. I do wish more DC chargers could be installed faster, but new ones come online nearly every day already. Even without a perfect DC fast charging network, it's still so easy to cross the US with an EV that the manufacturers often compete to see who can do it the fastest. Once people stop letting their feelings control them, they'll realize that EVs aren't nearly as scary as they thought.
you all realize that the grid cant support all the cars AND you also CAN'T travel as far and as freely as you can with a combustion based one. How convenient.... It's already been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over and over.. Get the idea?

@@eli6019 Don't electric vehicles need to be plugged in. And don't hybrid cars have batteries. If I am not mistaken, both have lithium ion batteries. The EV's need plugged in, and hyurids run on gas and battery power that is created as a byproduct.
@@alextheskaterdude07 Yes, EVs have to be plugged in. They don't have a "power plant" like hybrids do. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) are different from EVs due to having an ICE engine in them. They also differ from each other due to the size of the batteries. A straight hybrid like a Prius has a small battery that only provides about 20-30 miles of electric driving. Then it charges off of the engine. A PHEV will have a much larger battery which gives it more range in electric mode, but the trade-off is the ICE engine can't efficiently charge it (which is why people talking about using gags generators to charge EVs is just ludicrous). PHEVs need the supplemental electricity it gets from being plugged in to run at peak efficiency.
@@eli6019 Battery electric vehicles have to be plugged in too, right? And hybrids have batteries also, right? Why call them "plug-in electrics" instead of just hybrids? Is this some kind of virtue signaling that I am not woke enough to understand?

We had a truck over turn with the lithium batteries just as past week on I 15 In case people don’t know that’s the freeway that takes you from Southern California to Las Vegas temperature was right at 120° that day.

Comment of the day.
Plus the charging stations across the country and then who pays for the roads if they arent paying the gas tax?
Electric cars now are pretty close to cost of gas cars but a hell of alot cheaper to run maintain etc.... and it's a nightmare to have these cars without a home to charge it at

These institutions don't teach common sense and it shows!
Why is the Gov giving $7500 to couples making $250,000/year and putting our tax dollars directly into the car manufacturer's pocket? Horrible policy.
Because politicians are so out of touch, and so rich from being corrupt, they think $250,000 is poverty level. Anyone under that under that is sitting with bloated bellies naked on a stump with flies in their eyes.
Not a single one could answer the questions.

We are told to turn down the AC because of load on the electric grid but there is power to charge EVs
Totally as joke. Households are encouraged to set AC at 85 degrees, but go into a huge government or state building and you need a coat m.

Can't charge them . Cost to much. Can't drive far. Can't fix them.
Distance is competitive and competition will make EVs comparable to ICE vehicles. Repairs are far less than internal combustion vehicles. My dealer sees me three times a year for the ICE vehicle and once for the EV. Tires are more expensive for the EV. I love both my ICE and EV. But it is a matter of choice for everyone and not a government mandate.
@@williamwilke1944 Ah, exCUSE me, but hasn't the federal gooberment (Biden administration) recently tried to mandate EV's?? Sometime around March to April of this year?? Don't be obtuse.
California has the most unstable electric power grid, yet have the most EV'S, WHAT???????
In addition electricity rates are up 46% since 2019 for the power companies to upgrade the power grid. Everyone in Commifornia are picking up the tab for people who are better off financially and can afford an EV! This is literally stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Very well done. What Sen. Kennedy said at the very end is the whole ball of wax!!!
The question isn't whether EVs are better than ICEVs, the question is what the heck gives the Federal government the right to force either. Let the market decide.
"Oh man, I'm out of time." And not one single policy was made clear.
GO SENATOR KENNEDY!
Drill baby drill! Get gas and oil prices down to what it was with Trump and the EV is done. Trump2024
EV had been done in Asia for awhile. It's ironic that Asians are much more perceptive to the potential and inevitable failure of EVs. Sure there is a rise but it's still not dominant enough to overtake ICE cars. Malaysia for example, has such cheap petrol, the citizens prefers ICE over EV. Singapore, where cars are ridiculously expensive, is a great city to go 100% EV, but due to battery warranties and lifespan, many would choose not to buy an EV, simply because of lack of 3rd party servicing and battery replacement services. The only 2 countries that are seeing a rise in EV sales are China and Thailand. China because they have tons of car brands, and Thailand because they want cheap luxury and EVs in general are cheap luxury. But they are horrible to drive in Thailand, especially if you need to go to different provinces.
I honestly do not believe that EVs will ever overtake ICEs simply because gas is still an option and so long as battery life of EVs are still not more than 10years, it will never overtake it.
I work with Ev-chargers, Circle K and Zap-tech etc. It is useless tech. The chargers overheat and burn up very often, and no one have any idea what to do with the used chargers. My warehouse is 50% full of useless Electric Waste that no one wants to deal with.

I got out of a movie around 11pm just last week and I had parked on the other side of the mall. I’m walking to my car and I see this line of like 8 vehicles from afar and I couldn’t tell what was going on…
As I got closer I realized they were waiting in line to charge their cars at one of three charging stations in the mall parking lot.
Blew my mind. These people were waiting an hour or more to charge their vehicle at 11pm on a Saturday night; some had their kids in the car.
I hopped into my gas powered car and happily drove off.
That sounds like poor planning on their parts. Some people get so excited on the performance model test drives and buy one. I drove one once and the exceleration was incredible.
And what they charge their car with is fossil fuel generated.
No good answer to incentivized costs
5 points to Senator Kennedy!
That Davis guy represents 90% of Americans, "I didn't buy one because I may need to drive 450-500 miles." EXACTLY! When you actually need to drive you want a car you can trust will keep running whether you're in California, Iowa, Florida, or NY.
Agree! I live in Texas. These cars just don’t fit my needs. It’s not unusual to drive 2.5 -3 hrs to get to the next big city. Much of that is open highway. Few places to charge. If the battery fails they are basically bricked until I can afford to 6k - 15K or more to replace it.
Drive an EV in the WINTER in Iowa or New York!!!! 💥💥😂
@bluebonnetbunny4813 same here. I'm in Dallas but I drive home to Illinois regularly with my dog, besides the fact that I just enjoy to drive. It's just not feasible.
@raallen1468 oh trust me I went to school in both places (Iowa City and Syracuse). Outside of the Northeast the US is not built for public transport or railways.
It's more about control than anything else. When you understand that those who want to be in control of you don't want you driving 500 miles in one day it will all become much clearer to you.

There are dozens of windmills around where I live. They don't always have wind to turn them. Where I live, the sun doesn't shine at night. So we need coal and oil to generate a continuing base of electric power when alternate sources don't produce.
@@erie910 Nuclear is the way forward. That is indisputable. But fossil fuels have to do until then. A primarily renewable energy powered system is nothing more than pipe dream, imo
Converting natural gas and even coal to electrical powerat a power plant to charge a battery miles away to power an electric motor to move a 4,000 lb vehicle is STILL more efficient than ICE vehicles. Gas engines are incredibly inefficient. I don't have any issue with you driving them, and I completely oppose EV mandates and tax credits. But we do have to acknowledge the facts of the matter.
If solar was efficient then these EV cars would have them on their roof and power companies would have them on every rooftop, on every mall , etc. I drive from Va to Me and an EV would not currently be desirable. Most charging stations are far away from the business buildings that they are attached to because of the time it takes to charge

Because the NWO coup wants to do everything it can to demoralize and tyrannize the American people in every way it can all at once. Success depends on it.
Because it gives the government more control over each individual. If they can shut down your bank account and they can shut down your car, and they control your food, they control you.
The presidential motorcade has no EVs.
They are full of BS ..
I live in a flat & there are no public charging stations anywhere nearby that i know about. Why would i want one?
Two things - does your flat have a gas station at it? If not, then how on earth do you manage to get gas?!?
Second, charging stations are not often as noticeable as gas stations. They don't need their own separate buildings since they don't present the same explosive hazards as gas stations. Every EV can locate the nearest charger, and there are tons of apps that update in real-time with locations, the status of chargers at those locations, and often the price per kWh.
@@eli6019 it takes 2minutes to fill up at a gas station & there are 6 station on my route to work. I don't need one at home.
@@TheRoark85 If it only takes 2 minutes, then you don't drive very far at all. Get an EV, plug it in while you go shopping, eat in a restaurant, read a book in a library, or any number of other things that people do on the daily and you wouldn't even have to waste that two minutes. Not to mention that most of those places offer free charging.

Seriously, take off the tin-foil hat. Your insurance company isn't tracking your car to see where you are going, and even if they could - they couldn't figure out what you're doing just because of that. Jesus.. the paranoia is palatable....
Also, I hate to burst your bubble of anonymity, but if you have a car right now that was built after 1990, it has a computer inside of it that could do the same thing.
As someone who spent 46 years in the auto industry, I would not park and EV in my driveway if given it. PERIOD.
I certainly wouldn’t park one of those in a garage.
The infrastructure does not support charging EVs.
💯‼️ and not enough discussion regarding that!
Do you mean infrastructure as in the electrical grid? If so, you are completely wrong. Right now, EVs use about 0.2% of the electricity produced in the US. For comparison, bitcoin mining used between 0.6% and 2.3% in 2023. That's 3 to 11 times more than EVs used. If EVs are a strain, then there should definitely be a national uproar over bitcoin mining.
Also, keep in mind that the average house uses about 8 times the electricity an EV will per month. Using that ratio, I think it is safe to say that gas stations probably use the same if not more than a house, especially since so many are 24/7 now. So, that means each gas station uses as much as 8 EVs per year. There are approximately 196,643 retail gas locations in the US, and about 3.3 million EVs (4th quarter 2023). That means that gas stations alone are using just over half as much electricity as EVs are. People always seem to forget that part.
If by infrastructure, you mean charging stations, then you are wrong. There are enough chargers to go anywhere in the US. It can't all be done on DC fast chargers, which I do think needs to be resolved, but it can be done.
Musk figured the charging stations alone that would be required to sustain it would be 10 Trillion alone
@@eli6019 that is simply not true. There are not enough charging stations for people to feel comfortable buying an EV. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Biden signed in November 2021, included $7.5 billion for EV charging. Of that, $5 billion was allocated to individual states in so-called “formula funding” to build a network of fast chargers along major highways in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, or NEVI, program.Mar 28, 20
@@jamescrane7034 Everything I have said is true, and easily verified by just looking it up. The key phrase in your argument is "for people to feel comfortable". Sure, range anxiety and fear of completely new driving habits is normal, but they are feelings. Feelings are not facts. The fact is, you can drive anywhere in the US with a 250-300 mile range EV. Again, you won't always have a DC fast charger to use, but chargers are available. I do wish more DC chargers could be installed faster, but new ones come online nearly every day already.
Even without a perfect DC fast charging network, it's still so easy to cross the US with an EV that the manufacturers often compete to see who can do it the fastest.
Once people stop letting their feelings control them, they'll realize that EVs aren't nearly as scary as they thought.
These are folks with little real world experience and it shows

What is the difference in a "battery electric", and a "plug-in electric"? Always run the other way when a government bureaucrat starts talking about "investing".
Yah. I was puzzled by that answer.
Plug-in electric vehicles are hybrids. Battery electric vehicles are EVs.
@@eli6019 Don't electric vehicles need to be plugged in. And don't hybrid cars have batteries. If I am not mistaken, both have lithium ion batteries. The EV's need plugged in, and hyurids run on gas and battery power that is created as a byproduct.
@@alextheskaterdude07 Yes, EVs have to be plugged in. They don't have a "power plant" like hybrids do.
Hybrids and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) are different from EVs due to having an ICE engine in them. They also differ from each other due to the size of the batteries. A straight hybrid like a Prius has a small battery that only provides about 20-30 miles of electric driving. Then it charges off of the engine. A PHEV will have a much larger battery which gives it more range in electric mode, but the trade-off is the ICE engine can't efficiently charge it (which is why people talking about using gags generators to charge EVs is just ludicrous). PHEVs need the supplemental electricity it gets from being plugged in to run at peak efficiency.
@@eli6019 Battery electric vehicles have to be plugged in too, right? And hybrids have batteries also, right? Why call them "plug-in electrics" instead of just hybrids? Is this some kind of virtue signaling that I am not woke enough to understand?
