An opportunity to waste money, harm the environment, put your kids at risk, AND increase labor costs? Republicans are all over it.

    Just because they’re EVs…

    What other technological innovations have political parties been (corrupt) allergic to?

    I know Edison lobbied hard against AC power systems but there must be tons of examples over the years

        It’s crazy how if you’d asked me about vaccine hesitancy and conspiracy theories in 2019 I would’ve told you that extreme left wing hippy nut jobs are the archetype I associate with it, but then COVID hit and bam! Now it’s the right wing nut jobs

Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we’ll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.
