Imagine the Lucky Bastards getting to write off every penny of their loss on EVs, between gov’t subsidy, credits, financial handouts and creative accounting its all write–off
Smucks like Joe have to eat the mortgage, ahem car payment, take the drop in depreciation, pay insanely expensive connection fees, charging equipment, installation and tie-in just to “cheaply” recharge his EV at home. Joe has eaten his last EV sucker-bill and finds himself using ride-share, public transit or 15yo ICE he thought was too expensive.
Meanwhile, EV automakers are flying around in private jets, lobbying capitol hill for relief and laying off Joe Schmoe and halting production. EV car makers get ur head out of the cookie jar and start R&D, coops, innovation centers and engineer a car that Joe doesn’t lose his home, happy family, job and sanity with your VERY EXPENSIVE replacement for ICE
Senators, legislators and NEXT president of US freeze NTSA regulations that prevent SxS EVs from being licensed for non-interstate use. The world cannot afford legacy ICE regulatory mandates. AI is enabling safer cars without the crash-safety cushion requirements. Stop the insanity and get mobility as job#1 back into the mainstream of the economy
States, Montana and Florida thank you for licensing SxS. Your fellow states can legalize and follow your lead. There’s a pathway but its putting to rest a ton of bureaucracy, regulatory capture and Federal mandates that too long catered to the ICE money machine
Early Adopter Joes’ need relief here too. The bottom was pulled out from under their EV investments. There’s gotta be a way back, a pathway, for those burdened with a product over-priced, under engineered and foisted on consumers who had no idea of the extensive electrical hurdles to charging at home affordably.
And that’s the First Step
