The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

      Prices for cars in general was at an all time high. Don’t piss on my shoe and tell me it’s raining. They’re still way overpriced.

        You said the prices were too high, here is proof that the prices are coming down, almost 20% in a year.

        You said American manufacturers aren’t making cheaper EVs, this article talks about cheaper American EVs.

        You cried that American EV manufacturers are going to try to trick their way around regulations, while apterra is making 400 to 1,000 mile range EVS with solar charging 40 mi a day, a very clear example of auto innovation.

        Don’t throw a tantrum because your complaints were so flimsy.

          20% down after increasing overall for the last decade is not proof. You sound like some marketing manager telling me how the price of cereal has dropped by 20% afte you rose the price for the last 5 years by 300%…

          You said American manufacturers aren’t making cheaper EVs, this article talks about cheaper American EVs.

          No where did I say that …

          You cried that American EV manufacturers are going to try to trick their way around regulations, while apterra is making 400 to 1,000 mile range EVS with solar charging 40 mi a day, a very clear example of auto innovation.

          Yeah didn’t say that either…and aptera is a tiny company that doesn’t even have a final release on the car from their website… it’s probably going to be vaporware just like most of these EVs that sport massive mileage claims.

          Don’t throw a tantrum because your complaints were so flimsy.

          Lol yeah I’m the one throwing the tantrum…you EV militants are hilarious.

              I don’t hate on EVs, I think they’re great. The applications they have are for city drivers not for rural and long haul people or even people who live in apartments. They’re getting there but right now isnt the time to try and push everyone to EVs forcefully.

                Fair, I do think however, more people could use them but are falling for the propaganda. Apartment living could be an issue, especially if you can’t charge it at your workplace. Almost anyone with a house though, could get one and likely benefit from it.

                  O absolutely, and I’m sure they’ll continue to get better, but telling people who can’t afford them or can’t use them because of the lack of infrastructure where they live doesn’t help drive the conversation in any meaningful way. Which unfortunately you can see from some of the replies towards me have been.

            It’s very clear you find hard evidence hilarious.

            'Vaporware".

            Don’t use words you don’t know the meaning of because you’re embarrassed of being proved wrong.

                That’s what the entire article i provided is about. Don’t blame other people because you never learned how to read.

                  You didn’t provide an article on the magical ev you keep yapping on about. And as I said before you provided an article on how prices have dropped even though the last 5 years was just constantly raised prices. I’m not the child simping for a ev maker that has no products on the market or any real world data.

                    We got it, you don’t like evidence, numbers or reading.
