    I saw this floating around last week. I can't seem to find the article for it now but it was saying 1 in 5 people end up going back to gas-powered cars after having bought an EV. I did find a study which could be what the article I read was based on:


    Do you drive electric? If so - have you considered going bacK?
    If you don't drive electric, have you considered switching?

    I only drive gas-powered vehicles, and I don't plan to switch.
    I would never want to go full EV. I did consider it at one time but with how everything is looking, no thanks. I think the new standard should have been hybrids. They function like regular cars with the added bonus of saving on gas usage in the warmer months. If you live where it snows, you end up paying so damn much charging EVs. It is insane.

    Very reasonable analysis. A hybrid would be as far as I would go as well, although I love gas cars so much better than electric.

    Texans May Have to Pay $200–$400 FEE for Driving an Electric Vehicle!


    Don't go thinking for one second that all other states wont follow along when they see the "new revenue" $👀 they can get their hands on.

    No, I don't drive electric and don't desire to do so.

    That is a very plausible conclusion. One state at a time until they are all doing it.

    In the UK they are charging people for NOT driving them but when you actually have to charge your car, you wait for hours and end up paying more. That is what they don't want people to understand. EVs are going to end up costing way more and that is why they want to rid gas powered cars. So they can force most people to not be able to afford to drive. Same thing with meat. They don't want to ban it, just make it so expensive that only wealthy people can afford it. And flying too!

    It’s about forcing us into prison life. No control over housing, food, transportation, livelihood, rights, existence, etc.

    They won't force us, the will just make it so we can't afford anything. Look back to 2019 in America... We had record lows of our people being in poverty. People were picking themselves up. What happened? Well, they can't have that. Just 4 years later and our people are worse off than before. It is all by design. I think the reason they let the illegals in this country is cause they plan on using them the same way they used blacks.
