Who said only the folks in TV would be buying EVs?
The average person that retires, may not be able to afford to live in TV, let alone purchase an EV. Wow, no one is talking about just the "Bubble."
I said that most folks that are working and/or living in an apartment might not be able to purchase an EV. That is why we will continue with the fossil fuel autos for a very long time. We won't be able to discontinue building ICE vehicles, just because a bunch of tree huggers think that it will save the planet. I can't understand why our country has become such a bunch of non-compromising, blankety, blank thick skull problem children. We can have both, and it will not destroy the world. Falsely raising the price of gasoline in hopes of making folks purchase EVs or attempting to ban ICE vehicles in ten years is not going to endear the folks to the idea of moving to a more expensive means of transportation. When an EV cost more than a mortgage for some folks or rent, how is that going to help the lower earners? Do we now disregard all but the wealthy and say "tough cookies" get a better job?
