EVs are extremely expensive.

$20K for a battery replacement? Are you crazy? I've NEVER needed an engine replacement. NEVER. But battery replacements will be a regular occurrence. And people will lose their minds when they find out the cost.

We'll be seeing abandoned EVs scattered all over the world because people won't be able to handle the cost.

Tesla battery degradation?

"It’s one of the main concerns of new electric car buyers and it can vary greatly based on several factors like cell chemistry, battery management system, and usage.

Tesla has historically been able to limit degradation to reasonable levels thanks to its robust battery management system."

Those batteries need a "management system" now. What a joke! And here I thought that EVs were the answer to everyone's problems!

Battery vehicles are a big joke, a farce, a con foisted on unsuspecting people.

Yes $20k for a Model S 85kwh battery that's a 300mile range battery. But the newer batteries are going to last for over 300,000 miles, even a million miles with the LFMP cells. Here's a guy in cold Canada who already has 310k miles, on his Tesla Model 3 without any issues except replaced the drivetrain oil pump @ 286k miles for C$194. Still on its original brakes (pads & rotors). And get this his battery is still at 80% of original capacity. And that's not a long life LFP battery.

500,000 km Tesla Model 3 proves EVs far cheaper than gas:

How much of a vested interest do you have in Battery Vehicles?

Zero. Don't own one, would like one but can't afford it and don't drive much anyway, mostly I bicycle. I have an ICE vehicle and hope it will last until I drop dead. How much of a vested interest do you have in ICE vehicles?

I'm not pushing ICE vehicles like you're pushing Battery Vehicles.

That leads me to believe that you have a vested interest in them, e.g., investments in battery manufacturers or battery vehicle manufacturers.

It's also because governments are pushing them by, as I wrote, bribing people to buy them using other people's money, all in the name of Climate Change.

Bullshit. I've said repeatedly I drive an ICE vehicle, don't intend to buy an EV, and am quite happy with people buying whatever they want, no subsidies or mandates needed. As long as there is fair market competition. You keep trying to paint EVs as some great evil. And yes the Climate Change crackpots have jumped onto the EV bandwagon, belatedly. They were nowhere to be seen when GM & Toyota were seizing and crushing their excellent EVs circa 1998. Wolves in sheep's clothing. Let me make it perfectly clear so you understand. They are liars, devious, sneaky, duplicitous scoundrels. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE AN EV, THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE A VEHICLE PERIOD. THEY WANT US PLEBES TO BE IN POVERTY. UNDERSTAND?

It's NOT that EVs are some "great evil".

It's that our governments are using them, among other things, as a way to gain & keep power.

"I'll have those n****rs voting Democratic for the next 200 years."

- Lyndon Baines Johnson (Dem), on his Great Society & War on Poverty

And our governments are FORCING the situation on us as Stalin forced the industrialization of the Soviet Union.

It was an utter disaster, resulting in the deaths of millions.

And LBJ's "Great Society" & "War on Poverty" have been an utter disaster for American society.

EVs are but a small portion of the larger picture of our superiors in government & multi-national organizations forcing their morality and way of life on us like Stalin did in the Soviet Union (e.g., his forced collectivization of farms).

Why?

Because they're panicking, just as Malthus did in 1799. They're terrified of the average person will ruin their "world" as Margaret Sanger was terrified that the black man would ruin *her* "world".

Ultimately, our superiors are carrying out Malthusian population control against us "plebs". It's genocide, much like what the Muslim Turks did to the Armenians in Turkey in the early 20th century.

It is true, schlock lying ENGOs, climate change Fear Porners and corrupt governments are using EVs as a bait-and-switch campaign to sucker in the public. What they really want is what they've already stated: "You will own nothing" which means "You will rent everything from us, if we allow it". They don't want us Plebs to have any vehicles, ICE or BEV. "Take the bus, serf".

Malthusianism is indeed on the agenda. They've been touting that for 50yrs now through their organizations like the Club of Rome. Their covid vaccines and their covid bioweapon are their first attempts at mass extermination. They are smarter than Hitler, they use sneaky and devious ways to commit genocide. Pure Evil.

Huh, I said it and I just seen the proof today in the news. Look:

"...World Economic Forum calls for abolition of private vehicle ownership

'To enable a broader transition from ownership to usership, the way we design things and systems need to change too,' says the group behind the infamous Great Reset agenda..."

"...“But this transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, to name a few. Shortages of these critical minerals could raise the costs of clean energy technologies,” continued the globalist group.

Continuing, the WEF explains that while mining more “virgin material” is one “obvious route,” doing so could produce “unintended consequences,” and therefore “it is time to look beyond” the current solution and consider “[t]hese three mindset changes” that can “help reduce demand for critical metals.” ..."

You see, just like I said, BEVs for the owners of the DNC, is just another Bait-and-switch scam. Switch from ICE vehicles to NO VEHICLES. They need all those materials for their nutty wind and solar energy FORCED POVERTY PLAN!
