But I still think our president is wrong to shut down our oil productions to sell his EV’s because he wants to get a name for himself.

The way I look at it, an EV would save at least 6 cents per mile (about $700yr) plus $75 every 10,000 miles plus air filters, the random timing belt, and the occasional spark plug.
Saving nearly $1,000/yr is not what I would consider "more expensive to operate."
The statistics don't support characterizing EVs as unsafe.
I don't own one because of my long-range driving habits. When I get tired of driving that far on a regular basis I will probably buy one.
