Id prefer those obstacles/items were thought out before we are forced or shamed into driving them.
Otherwise its a cluster _____.

It's gotta be phased in in some sort of reasonable manner if they do it.

Good luck with that! Green new deal?

Good luck with that!

I agree with you, but you are arguing with me, too. Any mandate for EV will be overturned by new politicians or the courts. Those things have to be legislated and any legislation can be repealed when people realize how moronic mandating EVs would be.

My city comments were thinking about my time in NYC, most of the vehicles are delivery trucks or cabs. They take the train or walk everywhere. Maybe people will finally realize that we were never intended to live so tightly packed.

Many city delivery trucks and mail trucks used to be electric.

The Confirmation Bias is Strong in This EV Market.....

Given the lack of recycling capacity, this LG battery-recall alone is a logistics and Safety nightmare. How will these be stockpiled ?

How do you transport these condemned Lithium packs to a remote processing facility, once they get up and running ?

Even if you stacked them up in the desert, how long would that pile burn, once even one pack goes up ?

Rgds, D.

just ship it overseas, out of view, out of mind.

Perhaps there will be changes on the public transportation side?

There could be huge savings in the road department by reducing the endless line of commuter cars.

Our concept of commuting/travelling may be in for some changes.
