Why are you offended that they just mentions facts about the place they lives to support their point? God damn chill man.

Why is it that the west has to be the one to cut back on all their emissions when China and India produce way more pollution?
……………just wanted to stir the pot |

Infrastructure here in the US will not be up to par by 2035 to support EV mandates. Wait for it. The wheels of government move too slow. It’ll be reversed or kicked down the road.

So what? This fake news was buried years ago. People that make this argument are being intellectually lazy. Stop being lazy. There are plenty of real reasons why EV are a challenge.

I hope you plan to keep it at least 70k miles, otherwise you're damaging the planet worse than an ICE/hybrid car would. If you're the avg BMW owner leasing for 2-3 yrs then..lol

This is a great video from Autogefuhl which includes interviews which really explain how BMW is thinking about the future of EV’s and sustainability of cars. This includes a lot of the topics being discussed here. Give it a watch and it might change your perspective. |

Wow, such maturity here. I’m proud of my BS in Biology, Masters in Health Informatics, Doctorate in Pharmacy. Yes, I believe in science. Taking ecology during my undergraduate years actually taught me a lot. My professor particularly hated golf courses. He didn’t believe in using resources to sustain a single species (grass). He taught me to compost and think about how my actions affect the earth. I don’t think driving an EV will save the planet. When I was in my early teens, I thought magnets should power vehicles. Now, here we are, decades later. I drive an EV because this is the technology I envisioned and they are a blast to drive.

I can handle EVs and heat pumps for my house and hot water, but draw the line at golf courses! Come on, man! . Merry Xmas all.

EVs are not the answer. Cost more initially, cost more to insure and evenentually register. CA is only 10% of US population and even some of those are not pro EVs. There are hardly any in Central PA and there really isn't many chargers available also, even a
Bear the junction of the Turnpike and 2 interstates. What may work in a small country with only 5 mil people doesn't work in a very big country with 350 million. |

I promise I can start a thread about potatoes vs carrots and eventually people will start fighting about Trump, climate change and if the world is flat or not.

You also have to remember the2035 thing is NEW cars. We're still going to have plentttty of gas cars so again infrastructure wise I doubt it's an issue. Not everyone is going to get rid of their gas cars on 2034 new year eve to get EVs in 2035. |

BS in that it will never be achieved? Most likely. But they’re going to do their best to try. Shrinking demographics along with other factors are going to leave OEMs with significantly smaller profits under their current business models. Higher-priced cars for the rich along with subscription services for the lower middle class customers are their select methods of remaining solvent. Time will tell if it works or not (my bet is no).

Over here and around social media I just see a lot of hate based on the EV itself. Like some stupid things where if you drive an EV, somehow you're not a man or don't have a real car and you know just petty highschool bs things like that that really irks me. It's like so stupid. But you're right on here it's probably not like that for most and I may be mixing that up. |

I was only commenting on the realities of mandates vs infrastructure to support those mandates. We have rolling black outs and it’s practically 2024 without the EV mandates. What does one think will happen when the infrastructure is subject to increase of stress on the aging outdated power grids nationwide? Charging times are an issue also. What about those who are apartment dwellers with no home access to at home charging? Subsides did not last long enough for solar panels so not nearly every home has them. There are so many issues with Mandating EV’s and how this would impact everyday life. Could it happen, sure. It’s just not feasible for when government wants it to go into effect. IJS. It’s myopic to think just because it works for you now that it will work for everyone (even by 2035). |
