I don't understand what's going on. So we went from a 2040 deadline for ice vehicle sales, then dropped it down to 2035. Then had a pandemic where costs of living and everything else are going up. Automakers can't produce enough cars, let alone EV ones. Materials for EV production will rise in cost, especially battery costs. Huge pressure on gas industry causing prices to go high way earlier than necessary. Seems like governments want everyone to purchase an EV by 2025. An expensive and horrible value EV. I did not do that an picked a compact sedan that averages 35 mpg combined. And weighs less than 3,000 lbs. Yet I'm being penalized with high gas prices instead of huge suv and truck owners ,lol.

This is the worst timing ever to try to rapidly transition to EV. It's supposed to be a phased and timely process. Instead it's a disgusting and forced approach on consumers, and gas prices will remain at $5 a gallon and reach $7 a gallon by 2025. They will tell me Kia Forte is harmful to the environment and I need to buy a 40k EV that cuts range in winter, and has 300 miles of range. While my 22k compact sedan has over 400 miles of a range on a tank. And it's got more features inside and out than these EVs.

Big blunder by Biden. He did good with the infrastructure bill but not this. So we have a party trying to shove EV down our throats and concerned with trans 'rights' , and another party that worships a man and is concerned with culture wars. What a stupid party system we have. We need moderates , sensible people in the middle.
