EVs are heavier and thus don't handle or brake as well (apples to apples for equivalently priced models). They are more expensive. They require truckloads of taxpayer money for subsidies. Their depreciation is higher. They are bad for the environment as their batteries require strip mining and slave / child labor in Africa as well as shipping around the world. The batteries are not recycled. The electricity is made in many cases by burning coal. They drive up the cost of electricity. I would support EV sales if they were honest about the true costs. Stop giving my tax money to EV manufacturers and wealthy buyers. Allow companies to build nuke plants if you want more electricity. Nukes plants are safe as all the pollution is small and contained. |

Engineers float ideas of what they think is possible without discussing the costs. It might be possible, but those panels need mining, chemicals, manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and eventual disposal. Is he funding it? What are the real environmental costs at the end of the day?

A $2,000 safe and reliable car is a pipe dream, they are called clunkers. Sure, you might find a widow that wants to sell her late spouse's vehicle cheap because she has no idea what it is worth, but those are called unicorns. I've owned over 50 cars in my life and a car with a cheap sales price has problems that will only be solved with lots of dollars in repairs. I can't count the times I've seen cheap broken down cars on the road with temporary tags on it.

If it is a Florida registered car it will have a "total loss' title. Florida has good protection from cars like this. Texas might be a lot different`
