Democrats’ environmental extremist initiatives do not match reality.
That has not stopped Democrat politicians from going full speed ahead with these policies.
And this one event turned into a total nightmare after EV owners were left waiting hours to charge their vehicles.
The ruling class elites are hellbent on only allowing the working class to own and drive electric vehicles (EVs).
Their goal is to outlaw gas-powered cars, but the idea is ridiculous for two reasons: the demand is not there, and EVs are still in their infancy, leaving the technology not fully developed enough to replace the necessity of gas-powered vehicles in working-class Americans’ lives.
The problem with EVs
Setting aside the argument that EVs do not even reduce carbon emissions in total, they are impractical for most working-class Americans.
Not only are they expensive, but they must constantly be kept charged to avoid being stuck in a pinch.
That reality came into focus when EV owners were forced to wait hours to charge their vehicles after the recent solar eclipse.
“[The eclipse] was spectacular, but I had to rush back because I noticed the battery on my Tesla was running low and all the charging stations at Jay Peak were taken,” Tesla owner Monica Livesey told Boston ABC affiliate WCVB.
Livesey and other EV owners who drove from Massachusetts to Vermont in order to see the total eclipse had difficulty finding charging stations in rural areas.
The wait times made the predicament even worse.
“I got there with one mile only to find out there were about 60 cars waiting to be charged,” Livesey said.
Such a scene is indicative of the gas lines of the 1970s under former Democrat President Jimmy Carter.
Wasting the hours away
“We were giving out paper tickets with a number on it. . . trying to keep the mood pleasant,” Livesey’s 16-year-old son Niko told WCVB. “In my mind, I was thinking it’s going to be a long night.”
The Livesey family had to wait over four hours to charge their vehicle, and they did not get home until 4:00 A.M.
Even as they were leaving, more vehicles were pulling up to charge their cars.
“I don’t know where all these people came from,” Livesey’s 13-year-old daughter Jessica said. “I didn’t know there were that many Teslas.”
The idea of having nothing but EVs on the road is outrageous.
Central planners want a reason to take control of the economy and profit off of major infrastructure projects.
But that cannot work without a market, hence the over-the-top environmental extremist propaganda.
