Perhaps also consider what will happen when half of the cars in a underground car park are EVs and one or two catch fire for whatever reason. You could have a situation like the recent ship fire off the Dutch coast. An Australian (quite a character) raises many interesting questions. This is a link to one of his YouTube videos. He made a few on this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ9-mW-cmdE&list=PLnjhI4Ajj3UOLI6MLaUUbjw7fXMa-8HSl Some of the key points raised are important considerations like 1) EV fires cannot be put out 2) The gases from EV fires are very toxic.

I am no expert or scientist, but how can I be the only person who can see the completely obvious lack of critical thinking here? Do the people understand that we cannot support electric vehicles for everyone? It is not possible. The grids will fail and no business, home or vehicle will have any power.

Can we make it any easier for the predators to enslave us?

EVs are the gateway to no Vs at all. They're not meant to be desirable, practical, or low-emission (their production makes them worse than ICE vehicles on that count, and where does everyone think the electricity comes from to charge them?). The people in governments know this. The practicality, ease, and expense of your transportation is not their concern. Making it impossible for you to travel is their concern, because that makes you easy to manage and keep track of. Kind of like livestock contained behind barbed wire is easy to manage and keep track of. The freedom and independence that ICE cars brought to Americans has always been anathema to your presumptive rulers and they've been fighting it tooth and nail ever since, especially in Europe. The short-term goal of flogging and subsidizing EVs, and of banning ICE cars that people obviously prefer to use instead, is to make it impossible to backtrack technologically once governments discover that, gee, EVs are resource-intensive! They rely on rare elements that have to be mined! Their carbon footprint is massive! Well, color the governments shocked. They did *not* see that coming. When they say that, and they will, they will be lying. When every car manufacturer has retooled to EVs because ICE cars are banned, and when EVs are then severely restricted or banned because they're bad for snail darters, how fast do you think Ford will be able to revert to producing ICE vehicles, even if it were allowed to, which they won't be? There will be no freedom of the open road or of anything else by then. You will sit in your 15 minute city and own nothing and like it.

The answer lays in plain sight at the NOAA data site.

NOAA data for sea level from mid-1800s and CO2 from 1958, each scientifically accurate, display ZERO correlation. A simple chart comparison proves CO2 does not cause global warming. or ice melting leading to sea level rise. not only is there no correlation between the rise in CO2 and sea level, there has been no increase in the pace of sea level's rise the last several thousand years. The record since 1858 makes a nearly straight line. About as simple and elegant a proof debunking the concept of global warming in plain sight available.

The longest sea level history is from The Battery Tide Gauge but the same lack of correlation occurs with every tide gauge globally.

The tide gauge data anywhere on earth is linear. The actual rise in sea level is close to 0.85mm/yr. Local tectonics make it appear sea level is rising or falling faster. New York City is subsiding near 2mm/yr making it appear sea level is rising at 2.9mm/yr. The best explanation for this subsidence is the relief of glacial pressure 200mi north in the Adirondacks which is seeing a rebound as glaciers began to melt 20,000yrs ago and in a seesaw effect New York City is subsiding. Blue Mt Lake in the Adirondacks is known as the earthquake center of New York State.

The Maldives have had, by the best observers, no change in sea level despite many tortuous predictions of extinction. Charts cannot be posted here but the data does not lie.

Not often mentioned is that the typical American used car is 12.2 years old. 75% of Americans buy a used car. With the stated battery life of electric cars 15-20 years under ideal conditions, when electrics reach the average age of a used car, the possible end of the battery life is near. There's no possibility that any seller of a 12 year old electric would give a lengthy warranty in case of battery failure. Informed buyers of used cars will undoubtably avoid any electric car when it's 12-15 years old. So what I'm saying is that 75%of Americans will never own an electric car.

Hang on; according to the experts, “net zero” will solve “global boiling”. That will actually make the climate colder, which will require heating at ever increasing costs, following their logic. What causes the greatest amount of deaths and respiratory diseases? COLD!

I’m convinced these people embracing net zero policies have graduated from the University of Stupidity.
