EV sales are booming and there are a plethora of new, affordable models.

Racism is a disease

In 2022, electric vehicle (EV) sales were on the rise but mostly remained popular for buyers with a large budget, with many consumers still finding them too expensive. Several of Tesla’s models were among the most popular EVs across the U.S., and Car and Driver reported it as the bestselling luxury auto brand.

Why 2023 is the year of the EV
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), many EV buyers will now qualify for all or part of a $7,500 EV tax credit when they go for a new EV. And Tesla and other carmakers have lowered their prices.*
So, as the numbers of EV models available skyrocket and the price of EVs naturally goes down, when the tax credit is considered, many more EVs will soon enter the mainstream, in what Tech Crunch called the “EV-plosion.”
What’re some of the most exciting upcoming electric vehicles?

The EV market is booming
and there are a lot of exciting upcoming models. Many higher-priced EVs don’t qualify for the IRA tax credit — they need to have an MSRP of less than $55,000 unless they’re trucks, vans, or SUVs (which can be eligible at prices up to $80,000). But the growth of the lower-cost EV is electrifying.
One exciting new prospect is the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, which should be relatively affordable with a starting price close to $30,000. Once the $7,500 tax credit is factored in, it would come at a reasonable starting price of $22,500. This compact electric SUV will have an enormous range of 250 miles estimated between charges (or up to 300 miles with higher-priced options), so there is no need for any range anxiety.
The Fisker Ocean is a stylish SUV that its maker has released in Europe and just kicked off deliveries in the United States. The base model has an estimated range of 250 miles and a base purchase price of $37,499 — not too shabby.

Toyota Inks Deal to Mass Produce Solid State EV Batteries With 932-Mile Range
Using material developed by Idemitsu Kosan will allow Toyota to commercialize these energy-dense batteries by 2028.
Toyota has struck a deal with fellow Japanese company Idemitsu Kosan to mass produce ultra-high-range EVs with solid-state batteries.
It's the first major update on the company's plans to be the first to offer these next-gen batteries. Toyota says the new technology will eventually enable EVs to go 932 miles on a single charge and power up in just 10 minutes, due to the higher energy density.
Idemitsu Kosan, Japan's second-largest oil refiner, may seem like an unlikely partner for the EV space. But Toyota says Idemitsu has been working on developing the "elemental technologies" for the batteries since 2001, five years before Toyota began pursuing them in 2006.

Air pollution can have a dramatic effect on human health.

Living somewhere with heavily polluted air leads to long-term health problems.*
A recent study examining the toll taken by pollution concluded that residents of Delhi, India, were losing almost 12 years from their life expectancy due to tiny particulates in the air, The Weather Channel reported.
What’s happening?
The study used satellite data from 2021 to determine the amount of PM2.5 pollution in different areas. PM2.5 refers to particulates under 2.5 micrometers in size. Particulates this small can be inhaled deep into the lungs, causing breathing and cardiovascular issues, according to one report in the Journal of Thoracic Disease.
The recent study found that Dehli had the highest levels of PM2.5 pollution worldwide, The Weather Channel reported. Residents there were exposed to 126.5 micrograms per cubic meter of air — more than 25 times the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum of five micrograms per cubic meter.*
Across India as a whole, the average was 58.7 micrograms per cubic meter, or almost 12 times the recommended level, The Weather Channel reported.
This might sound like a faraway problem, but some cities in the United States also suffer from particulate pollution. Statista reported that as of 2022, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, had a PM2.5 level of 33.5 micrograms per cubic meter, over six times WHO’s recommended level.
Why are these numbers concerning?
According to The Weather Channel, pollution numbers this high have a measurable and dramatic impact on human lifespans. The study found that Delhi residents have their life expectancies shortened by 11.9 years compared to someone living with the clean air that the WHO recommends. The average Indian loses 5.3 years of life expectancy.
To put this in perspective, the researchers compared these numbers to the reduction in life expectancy caused by cardiovascular diseases, the number one cause of death worldwide. According to the study, cardiovascular disease reduced the average lifespan of India’s residents by 4.5 years — making air quality a more severe threat to health.
What can be done about PM2.5 pollution?
According to the New York Department of Health, one of the most common sources of PM2.5 pollution is gas-powered vehicles — and Delhi is famous for its traffic.*
Switching to electric vehicles, like this solar-powered seven-seat bike from Indian entrepreneur Asad Abdullah, could make a world of difference. This change becomes more possible every year as EVs become more and more cost-effective.

Let me see if I have this right. You are claiming Hamas is going to gas stations in Israel to buy gas to bring back to their tunnels and smuggle and Israel isn't doing anything to stop them?
Then once Hamas has smuggled that fuel in they are selling it or giving it to civilians? Do I have your idiotic thinking correct?

If they were smuggling in as much fuel as you claim why wouldn't they just use it to generate electricity?

More made up numbers.

A car that can only go 250 miles before spending hours recharging, and 'only' $37,499? What a waste of money. I can buy TWO brand new gasoline cars for that, and they have have effectively unlimited range.

Burning gasoline does not cause particulates.

Hey remember. You're conversing with a guy who swallowed Trump's Big Lie. He ain't too good at the logic and reasoning stuff.
 
Yup.

Governments around the world have for approximately 100 years, heavily subsidized ICE manufacturers and the Oil and Gas industry that support their use.

They have distorted the free market so badly, and only now are we finally starting to see some early balance restored to the market and with that you see people overwhelming shifting to EV's.

That will only continue, as the technology continues it leaps forward in both efficiency and cost.

Freer markets are beginning to speak and that means ICE will continue to lose share.

Not from Israel. But it is smuggled in using tunnels in Egypt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip_smuggling_tunnels
 
Noticed a report that a US manufacture says that US customers are resisting, that the government must lower the hammer, allow Americans no choice.
 
Meanwhile it looks more and more like electric is the wrong way to go, that hydrogen is the right way to go.
