In the next ten years the declining revenues from fuel taxes will more or less force the government (during an election off year and while taking a swipe at Gimmiedats and welfare queens and Mexican immigrants) to replace the revenue with a tax on public charging stations, at least. Maybe they’ll tax the home charging stations.DeplorablePatriot » 27 Jun 2023, 10:41 pm » wrote: ↑ They enjoy catching fire as well. Probably more than Pintos did. Lithium makes great fires.
Not nearly enough infrastructure for EVs. Infrastructure BEFORE EVs, ****.
What about Battery hazardous waste when they die? Is everything recyclable?
When EV batteries die, nobody wants to buy the car due to the cost of a new battery pack. Resale sucks hind tit. Why take it up the *** later by buying one?
EVs are causing gas tax revenue to decline, so cities are thinking of other ways for people to keep the tax revenue flowing. So, save the environment and money? Hahaha!
EVs =
The present cost of gasoline is about $3 and of that fifty cents is tax. Electrics operate on five times less “fuel” than gas cars. Can’t you imagine the bitching, pissing, whining and moaning about the end of the world we’ll have to endure for a month or two after the taxes are placed?
But electrics are coming. A five times less operation cost plus cheaper purchase price means they are going to be the dominant transportation in ten years, or less:
—-A wave of new planned electric vehicle battery plants will increase North America’s battery manufacturing capacity from 55 Gigawatt-hours per year (GWh/year) in 2021 to nearly 1,000 GWh/year by 2030. Most of the announced battery plant projects are scheduled to begin production between 2025 and 2030. By 2030, this production capacity will be capable of supporting the manufacture of roughly 10 to 13 million all-electric vehicles per year.
To optimize supply chain logistics, many battery plants will be co-located with automotive plants. Most of the planned projects in the United States are concentrated along a north-south band from Michigan to Alabama. Based on current plans, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Michigan will see the highest growth in battery manufacturing capacity.

A lot of those old men’s children and grandchildren will work in the battery plants, or wind turbine plants.
They’ll complain the youngsters are overpaid.
While they charge up the family buggy to go visit the grandchildren.
