Switch gears... Why is the Polestar 2 so expensive? Why is it that car prices are so close?
You would think China would undercut the competition.

At present in the USA, over 60% of electricity is generated from fossil fuels (worldwide it’s over 80%). That number will increase dramatically if ICE vehicles are replaced by electric vehicles, as nearly all of the increase in electrical demand will be filled by fossil fuels.
Manufacturing EV’s creates more pollution per vehicle than manufacturing ICE vehicles. EV battery mineral mining, battery production and battery disposal are all enormous polluters. EV’s are much heavier and wear out tires faster and, and, and... EV technology is not ready for mass introduction. |

And the title of that article is "US States Aiming for 100% Clean Power Total 22"
"Aiming for"... but yet it's presented as fact as if every Goal is hit... Just like we are witnessing right before our very eyes all the EV goals getting hit... Oh wait... No, they are all pulling back on those "goals" Last edited by jamala00; 10-31-2023 at 08:22 AM. |

If I was cynical, I'd say the point is to increase electrical demand through EV production while simultaneously replacing affordable reliable sources of energy (coal/nuclear/hydro) with expensive inconsistent sources (wind/solar). What could go wrong?

"A report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), published last week, claims that the world will reach peak demand for oil, coal and gas by 2030. This has been seized on by the likes of the World Economic Forum as proof that we’re about to enter a brave, green future, free of evil fossil fuels."
"But other developments this month suggest otherwise. At the same time as the IEA and the WEF have been heralding an imminent end to fossil fuels, Germany has been firing up an extra coal facility, energy giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron are doubling down on their fossil-fuel businesses and the wind-power industry has been begging governments for more subsidies and bailouts." https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/1...-here-to-stay/ |

Lost in all the hooplah about an all-electric future are these big boys - and all the oil giants.
Let's just keep in mind that one of them had the largest environmental catastrophe in history, was sued to the moon and back by every developed country (and probably even a few undeveloped countries no one has ever heard of) due to a drunken ship captain, and the financial hit from all of it including the bad PR and reputation, it was all basically the equivalent to you and I losing the change in our couch cushions. Does anyone seriously, no I mean SERIOUSLY, think that they're going to go out quietly and just let electric cars take over?

BP and Shell are playing both sides of the fence and investing significantly in EV charging. In fact, the largest EV charging facility in the world is owned and operated by Shell. BP announced just this week that they are investing $100M to add charging stations to company owned stations. They just built a new gas station a few miles from where I live this past spring. The EV charge points were up and running before the fuel pumps. Here’s what “pulling back from EV” looks like in GM world… https://electrek.co/2023/10/30/chevy...l-coming-soon/
