Electric Vehicles
Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

If you can't compete, just legislate them from the competition.
A legislative monopoly
The free market of ~~capitalism~~ legislation
Good thing that we have a free market where our companies are free to lower prices, reduce investor payouts to fend off foreign competitors.
Oh wait, they will never do that, they'll just put their hand out to daddy government to block competition rather than you know, actually compete.
I'll bet when their kids run a 100m dash, they go around and kick all the fast kids in the shins so their precious crotchfruit can "win" the race.
Fuck all these greedy companies and their bullshit. I don't want America to turn to shit, but I think it's too late now. May as well get cheap cars while we still exist as a viable country.
It worked for small trucks!
The invisible hand of capitalism is really fucking loud
Market protectionism? Fucking COMMIES! /s
That was the unofficial motto of US Steel
Ugh. It has a democrat co-sign as well. Of course they are both from michigan. Kissing up to a dying industry that refuses to try and be competitive.
They actually did try, but Bidens battery valley was shut down, and what EVs they did make did not sell.
its worst than that. Ford retooled their battery production to support AI
I guess I meant more of an earnest try. I feel what they did was like a reluctant high school student doing their homework by signing their name and randomly marking something in the assignment with no real effort.
American car companies: “Only WE can spy on our customers”
ONLY WE can gouge our customers.
The market got a little too free
0 city, 1 highway...as God meant it.

Very laissez-faire free markets type shit of them
Cuz internal combustion engines forever.
overpriced US ev cars to be exact.
Both.gif
Why would we make those when we can ban the only country actually trying to make evs
Sounds like a big hassle. Have they considered just making them illegal?
I really do hate republicans, they ruin shit for no reason.
but there is a reason. You just wouldn't like it
Yes.
However, remember there's Dem support for this bill.
These pro-capitalism, pro-free market, small government chucklefucks suddenly want government intervention and regulation. Funny how attitudes change when it's not working in their favour.
arnt they already not in the USA due to 100% tariffs./
Wouldn’t want affordable vehicles in the US
