(Natural News)—The push for electric vehicles (EVs) is “the most ill-conceived government policy objective in modern history.
This was according to Ron Ross, a former economics professor and author of “The Unbeatable Market.” Ross said the push to convert or turn in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for their electric counterparts is a hopeless Democrat-led environmentalist goal.
Ross added that the transition has no chance of success because it is full of various deal breakers, including how EVs are prone to causing accidents and other safety issues.
An ambitious goal like the total conversion from ICE vehicles to EVs needs “careful planning and infrastructure preparation,” he said. It also requires the massive expansion of the American power grid – a virtually impossible task. (Related: Electric vehicles are unreliable and not cost-efficient – especially in cold weather.)
Car dealers are already resisting further deliveries of EVs because their current stocks have swelled and not that many people are interested in swapping out their reliable ICE vehicles for the newer electric cars.
Yet, manufacturers are still ramping up production even as consumers are balking at getting an EV.
“Something will have to give, and soon,” said Ross. “EV makers and their shareholders will tire of pouring money down a rathole.”
Disadvantages of owning an EV in 2023
There are a variety of other reasons why owning an electric car is a serious disadvantage. For starters, the average EV retails for $61,000, which makes most consumers think of a luxury car.
A new gas-powered car is around $20,000 cheaper. But EV prices can surge faster during crisis periods, such as when the supply chain disruptions of 2022 caused the prices of EVs to skyrocket when essential car components like lithium and nickel became more expensive.
The supposed maximum ranges of EVs are also likely to be overestimated. Some of the most advanced EVs can only promise a maximum of 380 miles in so-called “normal conditions,” such as when driving on less congested highways and when the weather is a little warmer.
In cities with heavy traffic and during cold weather periods, these ranges could be cut immensely, and EV owners are forced to make their own intuitive judgments about how far they can get based on their battery percentages.
Relying on EV charging stations also might not be an option, especially for longer drives. Even the country’s most populous states don’t always have a lot of public charging spots outside of large cities.
EV owners have to plan their routes based on the availability of EV charging stations and the number of charging ports these places have. Relying on free or low-cost charging isn’t always an option, and paying for charging spots could easily ramp up costs for EV owners.
Owners of Tesla vehicles may rely on the more common supercharging stations. However, owners of non-Tesla EVs are out of luck as the company’s charging stations are not compatible with other cars in the United States. This situation has only changed in Europe, where regulations have forced Tesla to make their charging stations compatible with those of other EV manufacturers.
This effectively means there is a tiered system for EVs in the U.S., where the availability of services like charging stations depends on how much people paid for their EVs and from which manufacturers they got their EVs.

Equally stupid is flooding the country with expensive and unreliable windmills which only serves to enrich those producing them.
The windmills are a disaster, but once again, they are not intended as a real solution, they are just a phase to the absolute tyranny the globalists have in store for us….they know windmills don’t work. The real elites are NOT stupid….they just put out clowns like Biden, Fetterman, etc. to make themselves look un-serious and un-dangerous. It’s a way of destroying our energy system so they can destroy the USA. Biden and his regime are all Chi-Comm agents/tools (China itself is the biggest globalist weapon) working actively to destroy the USA by gutting all our energy, infrastructure, immigration health and welfare systems, economy, schools, etc. At the end of their “useful” life, these large windmills, which destroy countless birds and probably marine life (from the sounds they emit) have to be buried in the ground permanently….they don’t know how to break them down otherwise apparently. Completely and intentionally impractical system designed to DESTROY us.
If we quit buying them, is only part of the solution, we have to vote out the climate liars from subsidizing the price,
of the EV. National and social media is winning war convincing millions of people about the climate change hoax, the covid hoax, the abortion is now outlawed hoax, White people are born racist hoax, The covid vax works hoax, Trump is a criminal hoax, Ukraine is a Democracy hoax and there is no voting fraud hoax.. I’m sure there are more but I don’t want want to think about any more.
The ‘you can change your gender’ hoax, makes me gag. Men wearing dresses? That’s messed up. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so stupid and sick… The fact that ‘men’ are competing in women’s competitions is another example of how much mental illness we are faced with.
As the article states, there is a place for battery powered cars in the city. They are a disaster for the rest of the country. There is a much larger market for hybrids. I wonder if the money interests will put aside their dictator aspirations long enough to figure it out.
No, I would say the intentional murder via the vaccine is the worst thing our Government has ever done. At least a million dead U.S. citizens. D.C. needs to be burned to the ground over this.
Well, it is the Brandon administration, so what else would one expect.
The left has its agenda which is their driving force. You’re either with them, no questions or criticism allowed, or you’re a problem that needs to be eliminated. They regard conservatives, independents and other non-believers as enemies to be dealt with. The lefties are not friends of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, rather, those documents are to be ignored and destroyed. Nor are they friends of Democracy; they never advance the cause of freedom and liberty because they have a totalitarian mindset; that is why they have no tolerance for dissent or disagreement. They are not a party that believes in live and let live; they are a party that wants to rule and dominate the whole society. They are, of course, the Democrat Party that hates America.
People don’t understand – they are not looking at this in the right way. The goal from the top elites, the decision makers – not the climate change tools, is to ELIMINATE PRIVATE CARS for the peasant class (us) and thereby control our travel and who we associate with. THAT is the goal – the confusion, chaos, price and difficulty of operation & materials of electric cars are a PHASE to achieve that end. If they can eliminate gas cars and push us into the hell of the electric cars, with an electric grid, highway system, mechanics, batteries, and price that cannot support this fake new industry…..people will be forced to stop buying gas cars, as they will increasingly not be available, and will have to upkeep their old gas cars like Cubans do. But what do you do when they STOP SELLING GAS? Not everyone can convert their engine to something else & they will try to stop that. You will either be on some messed up public conveyance like a bus or train, on THEIR schedules & routes, or you will not travel at all. The goal is to control your travel & your freedom of association – who you can see and when. That’s what the 15 minute smart cities are about too – you will need papers to travel to and from your living location. THAT is the long range goal – EVs are just a phase in the process.
