When Joe Biden took over the office of POTUS, one of the first acts he did was cancel the XL Pipeline, wage a war on gasoline, pushed for climate change and for everyone to buy electric vehicles or hybrids. His war on gasoline caused him to reduce the emergency gasoline reserves and to buy dirtier petroleum from foreign countries, increasing the cost of gasoline at the pump.
But more importantly, his push for electric vehicles was just as much of a disaster as his withdrawal from Afghanistan. The general public did not want electric cars and when EVs were purchased, the driver found out that there were not enough charging stations around the USA the support EVs. Other experts have warned the US power grid is simply not strong enough to support the EV push by the administration.
Those loyal Americans who wanted to support the President by buying hybrids, found out that replacement batteries were $8-$10,000 as the original battery only lasted a little over five years. Of course, hybrid car salespersons failed to share that piece of information unless the buyer was sharp enough to ask the right questions.
As a result, Biden destroyed the American economy when he and his staff misinterpreted the EV industry and market. And, instead of taking the responsibility for his actions, he BLAMED DONALD TRUMP.
What kind of a righteous leader blames his predecessors? Not the kind of leader we want as President, I'll tell you that.
The EV and Hybrid auto market has declined tremendously as Americans refuse to buy either kind of vehicle.
Obviously, the hybrid market is the way to go if the industry can solve the problem with the cost of the battery and the time it takes to charge the battery.
One of my neighbors said that a battery needs to be developed that can be easily swapped out like a tank of butane gas for a grill. The old battery is taken out, a new battery is put in that has been fully charged, and the car is on its way in about 10 minutes. The buyer pays a small fee for the service.
What is important to remember here is that there is nothing wrong with changes as long as it has been properly planned out. It is obvious, at least to me, that Biden and his team had not properly planned.
