U.S. Regulators Playing Catch-Up With Tesla-Focused Detroit

American car manufacturers already had plenty of reasons to invest in EVs before Washington’s new tailpipe-emissions proposal

Converting gas cars into electric vehicles is becoming more common, with several companies offering ways to “upcycle” classic cars and fleet vehicles. WSJ’s George Downs explores why retrofitting isn’t more widespread. Illustration: George DownsWhy are traditional car manufacturers investing hundreds of billions of dollars in electric vehicles—a technology that promises better environmental than financial returns? Regulation is part of the answer, but not from Washington.

StephenWilmot Most middle and working class don't have property able to facilitate charging stations, public ones are too expensive, time consuming and need to be like gas stations, with attendants who take cash. The wealthy can afford ev & facilitate home chargers. This is inequitable.

StephenWilmot Ah, EU just being EU. Pushing the pollution problem to third world nations mining minerals and producing EV batteries, while talking about being “sustainable”.

StephenWilmot Carbon dioxide warriors are the dumbest most dangerous virtue signallers in all creation almost pipped to the post by cows milk demonisers they think thats an animal welfare campaign.

StephenWilmot To electrify all vehicles needs a 7000% increase in mining, mountains of earth dug up everywhere, very green, demanding to be carbon credit microchipped , thats the woke ego thing

StephenWilmot Tax the corporations, Tax the billionaires at 90% pass a a New Green Deal and boom 🤯 anything can work.

StephenWilmot Apparently first making sure you have a stable power grid to handle the additional demand never occurred to the leftists....

StephenWilmot It’s also racist. How are third world countries going to operate? They have no electricity for lights and heat let alone for EV’s.

StephenWilmot EPA employees who proposed the auto emissions rules don’t have an accurate understanding of automotive manufacturing, battery materials and manufacturing. The proposed rules are arbitrary and unrealistic.

StephenWilmot This is what inflation smells like.

StephenWilmot My friends 2017 Volt needed a new battery. With removal, install and battery cost it was $17,000. Plus $1,000 disposal fee ( to where, lithium is a pollutant). He bought a gas vehicle.

StephenWilmot soon you’ll pay fines just for farting

City inks $1M contract for tech to catch overweight trucks on BQENew York City has approved a $1 million contract to install equipment on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway that automatically tickets overweight trucks. Maybe someday we can get some automatic ticketing of trucks in the left lane on the Cross Bronx. As I've written to that whole bunch of politicians as well as DOT (that includes you, LincolnRestler !) the scales are in place and the city could give out 'zero dollar tickets' *TODAY*, which would get 95% of the same truck restriction benefit. Get as much revenue possible before it comes crumbling down.
