LOL!! EV range not only reduced in cold, ALSO reduced in HEAT!!

The taxpayers never paid for gas stations to be built or repaired like we are doing for the charging stations and "Infrastructure" to support BEVs...
The government does sneaky things to give some industries unfair advantages while making it harder on others.
The reason that gasoline powered cars took hold and dominated over 100 years ago was because it was a better and cheaper idea.....and the public chose gas over electric.
The same thing is happening now.
Without huge rebates, the majority of the buying public wouldn't buy any electric car.
We all know the tech nerd that has to have the newest phone or APP on it, he/she loves new tech. Those seem to be a large percentage of the fans.
They are not the majority of the buying public though.
I see this topic covered all over and as I suspected, the overwhelming common complaint is that the government is forcing it. Independent thinkers don't want nor need the government to make their choices for them.
Imagine the panic in the boardrooms of these automakers....knowing that most of the buying public isn't interested in what they are building. All this talk about how tech will improve, these cars will get better ALSO scare off buyers of today. Who in their right mind would buy brown bananas when something better and fresher is being promised? The resale value of EVs is already crap, it will be far worse if/when a better design is invented.
If you wanted to buy a Duster and all they had was slant six cars BUT the salesman said that in 3 months they will have the 340 cars, would you buy the slanty car or wait?
If Ford is actually losing an average of $36,000 on each EV, you think they are going to make it up in volume?
No, they will not. The cost of GAS powered cars will have to go up to cover the losses.
EVERY time the government gets involved in business, the prices go up. Remember college loans? The Govt guarantees the student loan so the colleges raise tuition rates. The same is happening here.
Let the market decide. Cars are already cleaner than they have ever been. If you want to use a greenie term, CARBON FOOTPRINT, the EVs are far dirtier when you consider the energy spent and land disturbed for battery mining and manufacturing, EV charging from coal fired power plants, increased tire wear (emissions, look it up) potential battery failures ($$$) and low resale value.....finally, the difficulty of recycling and disposal of some very nasty chemicals.
I have cordless power tools that do work but don't compare to the corded ones or the gas powered tools.
You are as bad as a government official with your sales pitch about how these battery tools will "change my mind".
No, I won't.
