I love electric vehicles. But increasingly I feel duped

You mean the EV penalty fee? I wrote my Texas state representative in vain saying that I wasn't against a fair road tax but an arbitrary $200/year was unfair. It should be based on mileage driven in a year and can be assessed when registration is due.

The penalty I would ike to see is a very hefty tax on EV's with the revenue dedicated to property tax reductions for homeowners.

Amazing how we still compare the vehicle emissions outputs between ICE & EV, but never seem to discuss much about lithium & cobalt mining and the destruction to the environment that causes, the need and the cost to upgrade our electric grid by trillions of dollars of printed money, and the recycling issues of batteries, motors, and other EV trash.

Oh, and don’t get me started on the reliance on china.

Just the upgrades to the grid should be enough to knock all the EV supporters down a few pegs.

Folks, We don’t have trillions for a new electrical grid! We have a war to fund and lots of po’ folks on the dole!

...but the Tesla Y uses the brakes less than the Ford F250 diesel...

If you like the idea of being owned by China, I imagine you like the idea of electric grid reliance, with no fossil fuel energy independence or energy source diversity. Commiting our country to a path of all electrification, reliant on Chinese solar panels (around 90%), to battery cars which China has 77% of the battery market….

I want an EV, they’re so vogue!
