Yes.
The question isn't whether or not EVs will be the future - they will.
The question is who will lead the market in them, and the Republicans are effectively working to ensure that it will not be the US - it'll be China.
Pretty sure the future isn't every person carrying around multiple tons of steel with them every time they need some milk. The push isn't to full sized electric cars, it's to electric bikes and micro cars. But yes, China is doing both and the US auto Industry will collapse because it doesn't care that people don't want to drive something bigger than a tank.
Wait. Isn't it that in US people want to drive tanks? And having couple of tons of steel is prefferable? Like lemmy is such a small part it's opinions are like drop in the ocean - what I understand is that US loves it's big cars.
Yeah, Americans love big cars. They want to feel big and safe in a giant vehicle, and large swaths of the country have enough wide open space to accommodate that. You'll see very different vehicles in cities vs in the countryside.
