    EPA does not answer the question of why? As long as they don't say it out loud, it's not happening.

    EV's are not cost effective or of value.

      only becomes green after 10K miles, if I remember correctly. Otherwise is cost dearly to make these things. And of course we won't laugh too hard at the diesel powered charger's 😂

      As well they should. Ultimately it requires more energy to run an EV and over the life of a car will create more pollution (think of how those monstrous batteries will have to be handled after the life of the car).

      He does NOT mean well. He is a rabid anti-oil, anti-coal, anti-American independence propagandist with the power of federal government.

    I can go on and on about the true cost of going EV! The equipment used, child labor, increased waste, buren on elec. grid and so on....To add fact to Regan's point about "cleaner burning combustion"; There is a patent rule that the patent office will not patent an engine that gets over 70% efficiency! There's been many carbs that claim to get 75-80% efficiency but will never see market!
