Wrong too. This is cherry picking. The biggest drawback to an EV is the charging time versus fill up. The other big difference is that EV power is not portable. That is, you can't haul along more charge, where with gasoline it's possible to haul extra gallons of fuel in a vehicle.
Emissions have nothing to do with it. Hydrogen or anhydrous ammonia are portable. Battery power is not. How a hydrogen powered vehicle makes power is largely irrelevant to the issue. The issue is that you can fill a hydrogen powered car in minutes like you would with gasoline versus taking hours to charge an EV.
Emissions have everything to do with the rules that eliminate ICE vehicles. It allows for any zero emission vehicles and doesn't restrict it to lithium battery EVs. Your argument is based on a fallacy.
The premise that it's somehow necessary is the fallacy.
That is the disadvantage of the ICE, not the EV. You plug in the ev at night and awaken to a full charge. Since the average person drives 35 miles a day, the charge is a very short time. With an EV you do not need to find an empty pump. You do not have to pump your own gas. You do not have to take time to pay for it. You do not stink up your hands and clothes. You do not have to get oil changed. You do not have to get mufflers replaced. You do not need regular maintenance.
This assumes:
I have electricity in my garage. I have not bought a charging station.
Let me know when it runs another 12 years without major issues or a battery replacement. That's my 3rd Frontier, and all of them were almost trouble free for 125,000+ miles and decades of operation.
Do you understand that saying because of one car which may be a lie, does not prove the whole? If it is true, it is meaningless. It would require so much more data. I get tired of talking to people like you. This is a simple thing to understand. Your argument is terrible even if it is true. But we do not know that either.
Your fallacy is not necessary. Your entire argument is based on your straw man.
Mobility is easier with gasoline. It takes a few minutes to fill up a gas tank, thus a vehicle's "range" is effectively unlimited (so long as the vehicle is in working order). Meanwhile, with electricity, it takes HOURS to "fill up" a battery "tank", thus a vehicle's "range" is limited because it takes a much longer time to refuel it. That's why people usually fall asleep while they're waiting for it to refuel (it takes so long!)
You're missing A LOT apparently...
With a "physical dollar", transactions via that currency between individuals stay out of the government's sight. For example, they would be completely unaware of the fact that I gave Farmer Joe $400 for 100lbs of his ground beef. However, with a "digital dollar", literally every single transaction involving that "dollar" is traceable and known by the government. If I gave Farmer Joe $400 "digital dollars" for 100lbs of his ground beef, the government would be well aware of it.
You are confusing "the right" with the Marxist leftists again.
Wrong. Shorter refueling time is an ICE advantage, not an EV one. Same goes for portable fuel. Gasoline can be carried around in gas cans. Electricity cannot be carried around in electricity cans.
Yup. It takes SOOOOO damn LOOOOOONG to refuel that you fall asleep while waiting for the damn thing to refuel.
The charge time is the same regardless of how many miles a day the average person drives. Driving is not refueling.
Right. You need to find an empty charging station instead.
Right. You have to "pump your own electricity" instead.
You'll be in trouble with "Johnny Law" if you don't pay for your electricity. I highly suggest that you pay for it instead.
Apparently you're not very good at refueling a gasoline vehicle then if you're spilling the gas on yourself instead of putting it into your vehicle.
Yes, you do, but I already know that you don't maintain your vehicle (see below).
I've never once had to replace a muffler. They generally last for the life of the vehicle.
I already know that you don't maintain your vehicle. It would last much longer if you did.
EVs don't ever need to be repaired?

Where do you get your info, Lies are us? No mufflers, no filters, no oil to change, no transmissions, Maintenance is less than half for EVs, https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/EV-Ownership-Cost-Final-Report-1.pdfTesla’s Model Y has a 100,000-mile maintenance cost estimate between $8,250 for base trims and $15,000 for the performance trim. This does not include repairs. By comparison, a Toyota Highlander in the Car Talk fleet had a 100,000-mile maintenance and repair cost of $14,029. A Honda Accord had a 100,000-mile maintenance and repair cost of $7,684. If there is a cost advantage to Tesla with regard to maintenance and repair, we cannot find it.

So, the costs of maintenance are similar overall between ICE vehicles and EV's. The big difference is in wait times for maintenance and repairs...

There's no comparison. With ICE vehicles, repairs and maintenance take a few hours to a few days depending on what's being done. With Teslas and EV's the wait is measured in weeks and months. Sure, the costs may be comparable, but the inconvenience of being without your vehicle for weeks or months is a staggering cost.
Yes, we all know that EV owners do not maintain their vehicles.
Not Ford, the largest automaker in the US.
No, LI-Ion batteries are not made in the US.
Trump is not a dictator. Stop chanting what the Democrats tell you to chant.
Ford is not making EVs anymore, Sybil.
