Auto execs are coming clean: EVs aren't working
www.businessinsider.com
From GM to Tesla to Mercedes, execs across the auto industry are tempering expectations on electric vehicles.

We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!

Meanwhile, my Hybrid Maverick is backordered so long, they’re asking people to switch to the gas only engine. But hey, this stuff doesn’t sell.

Here’s an idea, instead of only selling $80k+ EVs, sell some $25k ones.

    A lot of places just aren’t “cities”. I live inside the perimeter loop highway of a major US city but I’m in a suburb. There are no sidewalks. No bike lanes. No shoulder on the road, just a ditch and dangerous high speed curves with lots of earth-hauler landscaping trucks. The nearest bus stop is 3 miles away and it runs at most twice a day in the wrong direction for me.

    I’m not even talking about rural life. Cars are part of the US for a long time to come. Let’s make them as good as we can.

      Seems like a sidewalk, a bike lane, and cis stops might be a great first step for your area to be less car dependent
