Comments by "worn down" (@worndown8280) on "Why EVs Aren't The GreenTech Panacea || Peter Zeihan" video.

@tonynotstated695 The reason why is 4 of the majors, Ford, GM, Toyota and Honda have all said no we arent going to do this anymore, or at the very least, heavily scaling back. There isnt demand. You can love EVs and say that they are not for everyone or every purpose. But for some pushing EVs is approaching religious fanaticism. Most of the demand for EVs, at their current price point, has been met. Thats even with absurd government subsidies.

@srwven Their numbers only work when you ignore the manufacturing process. People have been trying to tell them this for over a decade, they dont care. Its like a cult for some people.

@landontesar3070 Leaf is being phased out my friend. Their sales never met the production levels. They took losses on each one sold but made it back on government credits.

Its funny that you mention early automobile history. Electric automobiles were the first, Ben Franklin is believed the first to draw up plans for an electric horseless carriage. In the 1880s in Europe, almost all automobiles were electric until, Diesel came out with his engine and people saw just how much more better and practical it was. When Henry Ford came out with his stupidly cheap Fords, no one could compete and they all died. He would have seen Ford for the genius he was in his business' accumen.
