Yes, and THOSE who are "likely"... do they ever?
And if they do... will fall into the category of those who had regrets?
Probably.
Maybe there IS a growing likeliness... but it's still an insignificant number.
I've never said EVs were a bad idea... they just can't take the place of ALL
ICE cars and THE problem I have with them, is that the GOVERNMENT and
politicians decided THEY were the ones who were going to get into the EV
business and use taxpayer monies to do it.
THAT is NOT how a capitalist country is run. THAT is socialism. Reminder:
any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements
advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means
of production and distribution of goods
The government is trying to OWN EV production and control by doing out TAXPAYER
money to PRIVATE firms and passing laws that will NOT benefit the end users of
said EVs... ONLY the producers and INVESTORS.
Ask ANY politician who's advocating the forcing of EVs on us and passing laws
forcing us to comply, how much THEY'VE invested in EVs and "green energy".
You DO realize, that making an EV is NOT "green" at all, right? The trade off
of "cleaner" air and a dirtier Earth is not worth the minuscule removal of CO2.
To manufacture each EV battery, you must process:
25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium
30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt
5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, 25,000 pounds of ore for copper
Digging up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust
For just one battery.
Cobalt, copper, lithium, and other minerals required to drive the EV agenda
often come from child exploitation and slave labor overseas. I joined
@RepDuarteCA13's bill to ensure that government EV subsidies do not support
these inhumane mines.

From what to what? It started at small percentage and is STILL a VERY small
percentage, otherwise there'd be a WHOLE lot more on the road.
Biden Spends $7.5 Billion For 7 EV Charging Stations
https://www.americanenergyalliance.org/2024/06/biden-spends-7-5-billion-for-7-
ev-charging-stations/
2 days ago - Biden's $7.5 billion EV charging stations program, which promised
half a million installations, still has over 499,990 to go after three years.
President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in November 2021,
allocating $7.5 billion for electric vehicle charging, of which $5
=====
Nearly half of American electric vehicle (EV) owners want to buy an internal
combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study
from McKinsey and Company, a leading consulting firm. [emphasis, links added]
Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard
vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging
infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey's study, which was
obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The study's findings further suggest that the Biden administration's EV push is
struggling to land with American consumers after 46% of respondents indicated
that they are unlikely or very unlikely to purchase an EV in a June poll
conducted by The Associated Press and the University of Chicago's Energy Policy
Institute.
Moreover, 58% of Americans are very likely to keep their current cars for
longer, and 44% are likely to postpone a possible switch to EVs, McKinsey's
study found.
Consumers' concerns about EV charging infrastructure are notable given the slow
rollout of the Biden administration's $7.5 billion public EV charger program,
which has so far led to the construction of only a handful of chargers in
nearly three years.
The Biden administration has a stated goal of having EVs make up 50% of all new
car sales by 2030, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized
stringent regulations in March that will force manufacturers to ensure that up
to 56% of their light-duty vehicles are EVs by 2032.
The EPA has also finalized strict emissions standards for medium- and light-
duty vehicles, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
has also locked in fuel economy standards that will further push manufacturers
to produce more EVs.
The administration is also spending billions of dollars to subsidize the
production and purchase of EVs, but manufacturers are still losing considerable
amounts of cash on their EV product lines.
EVs remained below a 10% share of all auto sales in the U.S. in 2023, according
to Cox Automotive.
