Biden and his clown show making up this nonsense to distract from the disaster he's created.  What a mess.

CNN: It's Time For Carbon Passports To Limit Travel (To Save The Environment, Of Course)

 

We all knew this was coming, so is anyone really surprised?

 

The Left is desperate to limit your ability to travel, to reduce your quality of life, restrict your housing options and your diet. While they continue to jet to Dubai to meet (because they're just too good for Zoom, naturally).

Good article a few weeks old.  Regardless of your feeling regarding climate change or the use case of gas versus electric, $277 more a month is a lot for many households. 

 

Here's why people aren't buying EVs in spite of price cuts and tax breaks

 

"EV inventories have increased by 506% from a year ago, with EVs sitting on lots for longer, according to CarGurus’ October report, released this month. EVs sit on the market an average 82 days versus 64 days for gas-powered vehicles...."

 

".....the new average EV list price was 28% higher than a gas vehicle last month, CarGurus said. That brings the cost for a 60-month loan with an interest rate of near 8% on an average new EV to $277 more a month than a gas car, it said."

I remember this discussion around the vaccine in late 2020 and being told by my cousins in NY that I was dumb to believe that a government would stop people from going places if not vaccinated. They of course all had that happen to them, but I did not, you enjoy your limitations, I will remain free here inFL.

Hertz dumping 20,000 EVs is a warning to electric-car owners everywhere

 

"Hertz is backtracking on its big EV bet.

 

Hertz said expensive repairs helped inform its decision to downsize its EV fleet.  The move warns potential EV owners about "hidden" costs.  Repairs for EVs can cost more than those for gas-powered cars. 

 

The car-rental firm said it's selling 20,000 EVs — about one-third of its electric fleet of Teslas, Volvos, Polestars, and more — partly due to repair and maintenance costs.  It's a big blow to the EV industry, which is already in the throes of slowing growth as the waves of early adopters dry up and prices remain stubbornly high for potential new buyers.

 

In a Thursday note to clients, Adam Jonas, the head of auto and space research at Morgan Stanley, called the move "another sign that EV expectations need to be reset downward across the market."  It's also a warning about the cost of EV ownership to drivers thinking about switching from gas to electric.

"While consumers enjoy the driving experience and fuel savings (per mile) of an EV, there are other 'hidden' costs to EV ownership," Jonas added, citing insurance, repairs, charging infrastructure, residual-value retention, and range anxiety.

 

Repairs are one of the biggest culprits contributing to a higher cost of ownership for EV drivers.

Mitchell, which supplies data for insurance and repair companies, has found EVs — and particularly Teslas — are more expensive than gas-powered cars to repair. The firm said repairs in the third quarter of 2023 cost an average of $5,552 for Teslas, $4,474 for other EVs, and $4,205 for everything else, according to Kelley Blue Book and Automotive News."
