New vehicles must average 40 mpg by 2026, up from 28 mpg

[Snarl]

So, what does the tribe think this will do for us? This is a huge jump and getting 40 MPG average is not going to be an easy lift. I have no wanting for a battery operated car that a replacement battery costs as much as the car. 

Do they really think they will get away with these EV cars?

Of course they do.  Otherwise, they'd have quit promoting them already.

Wait until there are power outages with EV cars.  And garage fires.  And the screaming starts about battery life, prices and disposal.

TPTB are not concerned with what happens to us plebes.  By the time these purchases are deemed unworkable, the costs will have been pocketed and the promoters will have faded into obscurity.

Then you'll be allowed to buy a gas powered car ag ... oh wait ... you'll be able to purchase a horse and saddle again.
