mocking EV owners for worrying about range – claiming they have a “disease.”

Not exactly what the headline is hinting at.

Out of the entire unhinged rant, Trump did say one accurate thing: the EV take rate in the US is roughly 7%. The problem is that he said it proudly while the rest of the world is rapidly moving to electric transport.

We just got numbers for July a couple of days ago here in Denmark. Sales of EV are now 97% for personal cars!!

Oh, dear. The WHO is gonna have to shut down Danish borders so the disease doesn't spread.

I fear it may be too late, though. Perhaps the US can shut itself off to the rest of the world.

He's going to have to abandon his Greenland plans, or else he might risk getting the EV cooties.

We will get vaccinated with Duracell AAAs.
