EVs have "no trade in value and limited life"

Economic reality catching up to left's attempt to force EVs upon Americans.






Biden's EV plans branded 'despicable' as cars doomed to have 'no trade-in value and limited life'





Joe Biden's plan to wean the US off gas-guzzling cars and switch to EVs has been branded “despicable” as cars doomed to have “no trade-in value”.

The president has his sights aimed at moving forward with stringent vehicle emissions regulations which could lead to as many as 67 per cent of new vehicles going electric by 2032.

Biden has so far outlined a trillion-dollar package to create new infrastructure to support a nationwide electric vehicle charging network.

However, the plans have not gone without backlash as two years after introducing the scheme, not even a single charger has been built.


~Bob Cordaro, host of the self-titular Bob Cordaro Show on WILK NewsRadio, branded Biden’s EV plans as “despicable” and warned that the cars would be doomed to have “no trade-in value”.

“One of the key things that I tell the people who listen to my show and people who talk to me is that if they were serious about climate change - Would battery-powered cars be your solution?” Cordaro said.




“They require so much more energy and so much more carbon output to produce.

Every car has a limited life.
EVs keep cranking more than double the guaranteed miles. Evs are still going after 200,000 miles. Tesla says they are close to a million-mile battery.

EV's remind me so much of ethanol made from corn replacing gas....so idiotic it never would have happened in a functioning society.

We have been trying to make them work for what 100 years?

We are not there yet.

Nonsense. My son is driving a Nissan Frontier I bought in 2000. It currently has close to 300,000 miles on it. I, we, have put maybe $5000 in non-routine maintenance into it over that time period. The engine and transmission are sound. The front-end suspension is worn out and that's going to be about $2000 in repairs. I doubt that a Tesla could manage any of that. EV's barely existed in 2000, so no, a Tesla won't manage that.

Blatant lie.

Biden's EV marketing mandates remind me of Hitler's "the peoples' car".

Only Biden's is taxpayer subsidies for elite white libs and China.

... but some have a more limited life than others (with regard to the cost of upkeep and what makes financial sense).

EVs keep cranking more than double the guaranteed miles. Evs are still going after 200,000 miles.

At what cost?

Tesla says they are close to a million-mile battery.

Ideas are not reality. Where can I currently get this "million-mile battery"?

Perhaps you do not know that an incident does not prove the whole. A car, with just your word, got 300,000 miles, therefore ICEs are better. We have all been driving ICEs and know how it really works. There are not muffler shops, transmission shops, tune-up shops, oil, and filter change shops every mile for no reason.
You rightys are fighting the future, because you fear change.EVs are better.,
Are you aware of all the ICE recalls. They have been around for over a century and they are flawed.

EV production in the US has been radically reduced in response falling demand.

Not just one incident, Sock. There are a lot of ICE cars with 300,000 or more miles on them.

A car, with just your word, got 300,000 miles, therefore ICEs are better.

They ARE better. Not just because they can last a long time, but they are a LOT cheaper to run and maintain.

We have all been driving ICEs and know how it really works.

Apparently you don't.

There are not muffler shops, transmission shops, tune-up shops, oil, and filter change shops every mile for no reason.

There aren't. Modern FADEC engines do not require tune-ups. They self adjust. Transmission shops are there for people who abuse their transmissions or differentials. Changing the oil is a simple ten minute job once or twice a year, and you can do it yourself. Filters are even easier. Meh.

You rightys are fighting the future, because you fear change.EVs are better.,

EVs are not the future. They are the past, Luddite.

Are you aware of all the ICE recalls.

EVs have been around for even longer and they are flawed.

Don't be that dishonest. The technology was sitting moribund for over a century. The resurgence started in 2013. They are improving rapidly. They are already better than ICEs.

Even the ICE cars that are primarily used here in Wisconsin can get 300,000+ miles on them (or at the very least approaching that much) quite commonly, and that's even with salt/rust shortening the lifespan of the undercarriage and frame. That sort of structural damage is what usually ends up "retiring" a car around these parts, not any need for a major repair like an engine or a transmission.

We have all been driving ICEs and know how it really works.

Who is "we"? I've only ever driven ICEs and I'm telling you how it works, even in an area like Wisconsin that ends up shortening the lifespan of their vehicles by dumping a whole bunch of salt onto their roads each Winter.

There are not muffler shops, transmission shops, tune-up shops, oil, and filter change shops every mile for no reason.

Such shops will show up (and disappear) according to consumer demand for them, how well they perform at providing products/services, and how well those businesses are managed. I've personally all but never had a need for such shops.

You rightys are fighting the future, because you fear change.

You are describing yourself.

EVs are better.

At WHAT?

Are you aware of all the ICE recalls.

Are you aware of all the EV recalls? (Questions have a question mark at the end of them btw)

EVs have been around for even longer and they are flawed.

Battery from Tesla car explodes in Cary home after being removed and charged inside

Every car has a limited life.
EVs keep cranking more than double the guaranteed miles. Evs are still going after 200,000 miles. Tesla says they are close to a million-mile battery.

This whole "million-mile" battery is an example of one of the reasons that folks will not buy a used EV. It's like buying a cell phone from 1991 now.... the technology is upgrading quickly, until there is something more universal this will continue to be a problem. Why buy a car that gets you 200 miles (reality v. the 300 they say it will get you) when you can get one today that says it will go 700 miles on a charge (meaning it will go 400 or something like that)?
