Electric vehicles

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Chuck, your comprehension skills are lacking
The article says they couldn't achieve the $30,000 price tag. That it will be more than that, with no clue how much more. And as usual for your "evidence", the promised 30,000 vehicle will be at some unspecified time in the future.

I ask again, do you ever exist in the present time, or only in future hypothetical scenarios, or in far outdated studies?

Good to see EVs became affordable finally, as they would.
The price of popular vehicles is demand driven.
I've always been thrifty out of necessity myself.
But what's always troubling is your desire to determine what others need.

My comprehension is good but yours seems lacking. "The $30,000 1LT version will be launched later" But that's not good enough? LOL

Never said anything about forcing anyone to choose an EV. Consumers are lined up to buy them and can't find them, even at the sky high prices.

But it must be disheartening for the Oracle of Alberta to see EVs become affordable even though he said that would never ever happen. Never is a long time!

Chuck, bookmark this thread. Then in the future, when GM is selling their $30,000 electric SUV, you are welcome to come back and prove me wrong. And I will humbly accept that I was wrong, and apologize.

Every time I pick on you, I give you an out such as this. What it would take to prove me wrong. This should be so easy on your part. This is the difference between ideology, and knowledge. i know what it would take to change my mind.

Countless examples, and you never do meet the challenge.

We all enjoy making fun of Chuck and his anti science rants.
But he is in good company, and when you read and listen to what other climate cultists say, you can understand where Chuck gets his delusional beliefs from.

Such as the Australian PM stating that Aussies can use the solar panels on their roofs to charge their electric cars at night. And I will bet that there is a significant portion of the population who believes that this is possible.

And these people are making energy policy that affects us all. What could possibly go wrong when the leader thinks we can use solar power at night?

He’s a absolute dill but in his defence the PM corrected himself about 30 seconds later realizing his mistake, you need batteries with your soak system of course.

Just on that batteries are expensive at the time 5 to 10 k

But the govt would subsidise it errr so of course battery suppliers Jack the price up…..

Anyway I ummed and arrred about solar system was gonna be 30k all up for my house hindsight wish I did it two reason grid power gone up but solar systems have doubled in price which has lead to many things.

One solar companies going bust cause people can’t afford new systems. Two govt hasn’t worked out a new tax yet to help situation. 3 a electric vehicle tax is going to have to be implemented some time to replace fuel taxes.

People complain about increasing costs of solar systems, the greens reply it’s just keep pace with fossil fuel price increases and manufacturing costs due to rise in electricity and gas and lithium for home batteries.

Can of worms catch 22 my head spins
