  1. 50% of all new car registrations in the greater SF Bay Area are EV’s or Hybrids.

    1. The vast majority of purchases are in the wealthiest suburbs of San Francisco
    2. The vast majority of purchases are from households earning > $200,000.00/yr.
    3. The vast majority of purchases are by “Asians” … go figure.
    4. All other “greater” Bay Area automobile purchases have cratered in this high inflation, high interest rate Bidinh/Newsom economy.
    5. Only the truly wealthy can afford an expensive 2nd or 3rd novelty car in their 3-car garage.
    6. It’s in the hard core leftist “greater Bay Area” where leftist virtue signaling is a fine art.
    7. Electric rates in the “greater Bay Area” are highest in the nation (and going higher) … good luck thinking you’re saving $$$
    8. Your ew EV just devalued by 50% when it was delivered to your driveway.

    1. 3. Are the higher income households in these wealthiest suburbs majority Asian?

      8. A sharp drop in value “when you drive it off the dealer’s lot” isn’t limited to EVs.

      1. 3. I can only speak for MY wealthy suburb … 85% white 10% Asian 5% other
        8. True … but not 50% … and at least there is a resale market for ICE vehicles.

    1. EV’s rotting in the rotten ChiCom environment? Wait. I thought that EV batteries become RUINED … if not severely degraded when allowed to fully discharge? Oh well … I’m sure China will recycle those batteries – fully

  2. When the worm turns and the buying public establish a true market value for used Electric Vehicles..then I will buy one.

    Install a diesel genset mid vehicle and have a pocket racer..
    Turbo diesel,set to “Scream”, massive chrome pipes slanting out through the body..
    Instant acceleration.
    Awesome range.
    No worries about heat or cooling comfort.

    Electric cars..losing in the market place for 200 years..
    Sheesh,they lost out to the Stanley Steamer and were abandoned after Ford’s Model A..
    But now,the supreme wisdom of our Dear Leaders,is “Thou must buy Electric Vehicle”..
    We the all knowing futurists forbid you the choice of Gasoline or diesel…
    Cause “Climate Change”..
    So which “Climate” is preferable?
    The return of The Laurentide Ice Sheet?
    Yeah,I want 2 miles of ice back..
    Or maybe it is time for a true climate change,wherein deluded halfwits and pretentious hosers are run off of every civilized community?
    They seek to destroy..
    Why should I tolerate such wilful ignorance?
    Banish all members of Gang Green and the Cult of Calamitous Climate..
    As if there isn’t full overlap.

    1. Two guys in my town drive electric mobility scooters with gas generators on the back.

      Apparently you can’t get a drunk driving charge if it counts as a wheelchair.

  3. I recently went out and bought a four cylinder ICE car, to save on gas…NOT!

    265 HP AWD. Gets maybe 22 MPG, if I keep my foot out of it.

  4. EVs are just virtue signalling enhanced convertibles.

    Only good for short summer drives. Penultimate in modern luxury. Oooh, plus tax credits!

  5. Keep the real goal in mind – 95% reduction of world population and enslavement of the rest to the WEF/UN/IMF elitists in conjunction with the largest corporations like Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard. The goal is to either kill you or control you. What use does a person who is dead have for a vehicle? How will a city bound slave pay for a car that costs more than they make in a year? We are being driven to extinction or enslavement so that a relative few can be extraordinarily wealthy and entitled. You will own nothing, live in state sponsored public apartments, be told what to buy and when, be limited in what you can buy and where you can go, and if you allowed to go anywhere it will be in a publicly controlled trolley. It is a return to a feudal state with oligarchs on top
