A Funny thing has happened to EV’s

I did not make my comment clear so I will restate it. If our country is attacked by a enemy, the enemy would not dare start a ground war. The very first thing they would do is "take out" the electrical grid. Biden wants to get rid of anything "gas" and convert to electric. The US will be in another war someday. Maybe not in my lifetime, but it will happen.

One large mega ton nuke (Russians have 7000) with a good height of burst and every electronic component will be rendered useless by the EMP. We won't be pumping gas or generating electricity nor will there be phones or computers that are operational.

Exactly Ed. Just my opinion. I believe it was Nikita Khrushchev that made a statement during the early 1960s. "The way to defeat the US is with patience, they will destroy themselves from within". As with Viet Nam, we could have made a parking lot out of North Viet Nam but protests and politics wanted us out of there, thus peace negotiations and no win. We were Gung ho to get into Afganistan, and another bunch of protests and politics and no winner. Plus we walked out and left billions of arms behind.
At least in the Army, we were trained to kill or be killed, destroy the enemy and obey orders, but protests and politics does not allow that.
Nikita was right, we will destroy ourselves from within and the rest of the patient world will watch.

Good for them
I still don’t want one

A little something in my backyard: Salton Sea has the potential to produce an estimated 375 million lithium batteries for electric vehicles — more than the total number of vehicles currently on U.S. roads, according to the analysis commissioned by the Department of Energy.

I just heard a report on the world news this morning saying 80% more of electric car problems were reported then of gasoline vehicles.
And I still don’t want one

Eddie,do you mean that there is actually a good use for that place?

It’s ok for CA to mine lithium but not oil? I’m sure anything Ca is involved in will be in shambles quickly!
Watch them take over that land and hose owners there!

Where will the electricity come from to charge all those batteries? The batteries may be better but they still take the same amount of electricity to charge.
