    Stereotypical virtue signaling... a recent Google news link.
    Some overweight "writer" that goes by "They/them" had an article about how they wanted to save the planet so bought a used EV.

    I freakin lost it (laughing).
    You'd think the first step would just be to put the fork down.

    Maybe...when/if EVs collapse, it'll be the death knell of ESG too.

    I don’t think EV’s will collapse. There is a true market for them. The artificial market created by TPTB driven by climate hysteria will be what crashes.

    As far as ESG, that’s not a market driven by profit motive. It’s driven by ideologues.

    Agree. EV's have a place, along with ICE, Hybrids, PHEV's etc. There's room for all of them. In fact, the idiocy of our gov't yet again trying to shoehorn one solution for the vast differences in the country is, well, idiotic. There isn't a single solution.

    The big question will be how committed the government is to feeding their connected friends and supporters that make money from EV. Cars don't have a constitutional protection like firearms, the government could simply outlaw and confiscate all non electric cars or order manufacturing stopped like incandescent light bulbs.

    I believe it will collapse because the battery is too large a portion of the value of the vehicle and will kill any resale value. Batteries are consumed by both time and use at a far accelerated rate compared to ICE, there will be little used market for a long time if ever.
