Since the article indicates growth is expected to continue, they aren't bailing. They are just bitching and moaning, mostly about charging stations and the lack thereof.

"growth"

All progressives easily bamboozled by loose association terms.

Every progressive argument collapses when having to answer the question..."As compared to what?"

ICE vehicles doMinAtiNg the industry and will continue to for a long, long time in America. Not a debatable topic btw....

There are a few benefits with EV's. They work great for some people in some situations. I can see where they'd be a great thing for city commuters in warm weather.

The first problem comes when you force people to go to them in situations where they just don't work. Long commutes, cold weather, rural areas...

The second problem comes with the massive environmental pollution caused by the poisonous lithium batteries that need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years. Let alone the hazards of mining raw lithium (currently outsourced to third world countries because it's so toxic). We really need to place an environmental impact fee on the sale of every Li-Ion battery over a certain size and plan to use the proceeds to cover dead battery storage and clean-up from the inevitable disasters that are being created by them (toxic fires, land/water pollution, ect ect ect).

The third problem: since states can't collect road fund use taxes from the sale of gas and diesel, we need to find a way to collect road use tax from these EVs. A mileage tax, an ev charging station tax (even at home), or an extra tax every time the car needs a new set of tires due to wear...something. IDK.

Yes, I've pointed this out before.

Not only do EV's not pay road taxes, they WEIGH MORE THAN SIMILARLY SIZED CONVENTIONAL ICE VEHICLES. So they do more damage to the roads, yet pay NOTHING to help keep them up.

This HAS TO CHANGE. I had to pay road taxes for gas for my 125cc scooter that weighed about 200lbs. But the ***** driving a 6000lb Tesla pays nothing.

Bullshit.

I say EV's have to pay road taxes based on the GVWR of their vehicles, same as commercial trucks do. Odometer mileage is reported and tax is based off of that. Lying about odometer mileage is akin to cheating on your taxes, a felony. Could have all EV's automatically report odometer readings, too. That would work great.

The State of Vermont is forcing people to buy EV's. THAT'S WHO

It is State law that no ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) will be sold in the State of Vermont after 2025. This was in order to partially meet the same legislators' mandate, by law, that Vermont will reduce Carbon in the state by 30 percent by 2030. It's baffling that since Carbon = Life, the devil worshipers in the legislature want to reduce life by 30 percent. It will be a rich boy's playground in the state...of course they don't know a jackrabbit from a hare and they all want to live in 12 story condominiums in the city center. Those that wrote the legislation. But there it is. We've all been driven off our land or bankrupt.

Of course, the governor wrote an executive order that stopped that stupidity temporarily. Temporarily.

Oh, the laughter!!!

Vermont EV buses prove unreliable for transportation this winter

(The Center Square) – Electric buses are proving unreliable this winter for Vermont's Green Mountain Transit, as it needs to be over 41 degrees for the buses to charge, but

www.thecentersquare.com

“Taxpayers were sold an $8 million ‘solution’ that can’t operate in cold weather when the home for these buses is in New England.”

“We’re beyond the point where this looks like incompetence and starts to smell like fraud,” Behrens said.

Did you not read the article, or did you just not like the facts in it?

Saw commercial today hybrid goes 571 miles on one fill up. Wouldn’t that be a goal to achieve for all vehicles?

I see out of state dealers will prosper.. How stupid can democrats continue to be?

Yea, it would also be nice if that was realistic. Try about 450 with real world driving.

So an EV saying three hundred is actually 200?

The climate crusaders can spin this until the cows come home....

Americans don't like EV's They continue to be a niche vehicle and half of those who own them say the experience has been gay.

Still only 2% of American vehicles on the road are EV's....

Called this five years ago... Americans don't like EV's

I remember about a decade back when a guy in my unit was so proud that he was able to buy an EV.

That is, until come winter in El Paso, and he realized that not only did the heater put out so little warmth that it was almost completely ineffective in the ten degree temperatures we often saw, it seriously killed his effective driving distance.

Electric Vehicles in almost all of the US have never been a very practical solution.

My Toyota Camry goes over 500 miles on a tank of good old gasoline. I drove from the Cape area of Florida all the way home to west Tennessee on two tanks and had gas left for the next week at home.

I average around 450 on my Chevy Malibu. At the end of last year I drove from where I live in Southern Oregon to Salem and back and still had just under a quarter tank left. I last filled the tank after I got back in early January, and still have well over half a tank left.

Yep, have a brother in law with a Camry as well and he drove from Nashville to Chicago on one tank with his Camry. Hybrid of course. I thought, why don't they just do this, and then they went to the EV and sacrificed technology for stupid.

Still bailing....unsold units jamming back lots all across the country

They got ahead of themselves. The technology will continue to improve though.
