Man... being disappointed to hear this because of thinking it was the other ICE at first.
Electric Vehicles
Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

The SMART thing to Do in This Situation is to ELIMINATE our EV Producing Capabilities and go ALL IN on ICE!
-Major Car Manufacturers!
Maybe for world sales, but in the US the propaganda is strong and a ton of people are anti-EV purely for political reasons.
US car sales make up 20% of the global market. It is enough to keep a bunch of old car makers alive, but they are going to have problems to export their cars and foreign cars will be cheaper and better due to higher production numbers and competition. Also at least some in the US understand that EVs are superior.
EDIT: This is going to impact oil producers as well. So less money for lobbying.
at least 70million people are anti-EV, and ford is thier biggest customer base, or they only buy the shittiest one, tesla.
Aren't they mostly anti-EV out of spite or out of not accepting they were wrong? I don't really see how it's really a political stance.
Blocking Chinese EVs too. Don’t want that pesky competition.
It's only a matter of time
The US will become an increasingly isolated market, and thus increasingly irrelevant. Big enough to continue supporting some of its domestic manufacturers at a smaller scale, but the rest of the world can move on without them.
I mean
part of this is probably that no one can afford a new car at all
i hate ICE cars too
but the fat lady has not sung. do not jump the gun!
