    Maybe. But it also looks like the EV's house of cards is crumbling at a fairly quick pace now.

    And as usual, there's more. This is not only on the internet, but on You Tube, so it must be really, really true. "Well a massive scandal over Government subsidies and EV efficiency just came out. Don’t know much details other than it has to do with a fake multiplier the Government used to...

    I knew they didn't like cold or hot weather, but it looks like it's worse than I thought. "So does cold weather affect EV charging? Yes, but why is that the case? In short, cold temperatures slow down the chemical process of battery charging and cause deposits of lithium to build upon key...

    EV Sales Are Just Getting Started?

    They installed a charging station quite close to here. Apparently it's not hooked up to any electricity, but that may not matter much since the access to it wasn't plowed. And even if it was hooked up and accessible, at -22 like it was the other day it's highly doubtful than any tourist...
