      breaking this story: Under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality.
      DC regulators kept a special EV subsidy related to this, a secret. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill and the headaches.
      Now, the secret is out! After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 efficiency multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support,” and has “no basis.” Let’s not mince words -- this has a direct impact on a subsidy that indirectly and illegally taxes YOU, the people. Your taxes dollars are going directly into the pockets of these corporations for falsely complying arbitrarily set standards. Remember, you are the one paying for these subsidies.
      Carmakers have panicked and asked the administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable.
      The Journal noted this scandal is buried deep in the Federal Register-on page 36,987 of volume 65. Since the tax credits “lack legal support,” and have “no basis”, all the beneficiaries should have to return their illegal gains.
      The biggest beneficiary is Tesla. This is where Tesla makes its profits. They sell the carbon credits to other brands that don’t make and sell enough EVs to meet the EPA standards. All other brands lose money on each electric vehicle.
      It’s not known who exactly bought the credits and for how much, but they are sold to other car companies that missed out on emissions standards of the #california Air Resources Board.
      Just to be clear, this is wrong morally, and likely is illegal if challenged in court. This is a massive scandal reminiscent of the diesel-emissions cheating that rocked #germany automakers.
      This was the governments way of getting automakers on boards with EVs. Forcing them into compliance. Now the government is going to remove this EV factor and implode automakers because they will not be able to comply with the EPA's regulations.
      This inflated figure is not simply a boastful statistic. It serves as a conduit for carmakers to accumulate compliance credits, which can then be traded for cash. This issue remained largely invisible to the public eye until recently, when environmental groups brought its illegality into the spotlight.
      The whole Carbon Credit scam was not created for Tesla, it was created to get consumers to buy electric vehicles. The timing of this revelation is suspicious. Suddenly the government is not a fan of Elon Musk, is this a coincidence, we shall see.
      So who actually knew about this? The government must have known when they created the program, did car manufacturers know about the scam too? It's the old question: what did they know and when did they know it. Watch the Tort bar, I’m sure they are already on this scam. They'll have a field day with this because there are lots of big pockets to dip into.
      Did you buy an electric car? Next you’ll be hearing commercials about class action law suits.

    I live in Norway, and we have traditionally (always) had huge taxes on cars. Our government removed all taxes on EVs so that they became as cheap or cheaper than petrol cars. That was 15 years ago. Now, they're slowly increasing taxes again, but the problem is there's almost no petrol or diesel cars for sale anymore. So when there's only EVs for sale, and they're taxed all the way up, and a Model 3 has a starting price of £100K, we're all going to be taking the bus, which is also electric and unreliable.

      Just keep doing videos about news and new things coming out about EVs and talk about the other side of it with comparable ICE vehicles.
      I almost bought a new Nissan Versa that is capable of 40 mpg on the highway and cost under 20,000 dollars US.
      I researched and found out that they are one of the last vehicles that are still port injected and the engine tech is simple and durable like it was in basically 2010.
      They just doubled the injector count and tweaked the engine.
      They still sell them in a 5 speed manual or a CVT.
      I could not get my wife to buy the manual trans for her, she did not want it.
      I am hesitant to buy a Chain drive CVT and all of the maintenance headaches to make it last long enough to equal the engine longevity.
      Point was that you can still get a basic gas economy car for half the cost of an EV and about equal cost to drive it long distance or in town if someone cannot charge at home.

      The car manufacturers are only producing blackmail versions of what you used to be able to buy. I am a red seal automotive mechanic and I see it every day. Fuel injection is not one bit cleaner for the environment or more efficient than the older carbureted engines. They are just more complicated and cost so much more to maintain. Cars today are designed to just outlive the warranty and then become so expensive to keep on the road. A typical 10 years old car is ready to scrap and a 5 year old car is still going to cost you a lot to buy and you will be putting money into it as long as you own it. It's a trap. You have money invested in it and now it's going to cost you more. But you still owe money on it. Or you just bought it 6 months ago and now it needs a $3000 transmission. I drive junk for traveling back and forth to work and my truck is a 1981 Chevy pickup. I had it for over 30 years and I live in the rust belt. It will out live me.

    To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

      Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops.

      I figured out the baseload thing about 20 years ago. By rough back-of-envelope calculations, it looked like we would need to quadruple our level of electrical generation to make it workable. The US has something around 100+ million vehicles that get driven on an almost daily basis. Even worse, when a hypothetical EV fleet is that large, the amount of energy lost to simple battery decay (for vehicles that are not left trickle charging all the time) gets pretty large. Seemed clear that it just wasn't going to happen.

      There was a ton of research demonstrating how people without all their basic needs located in their immediate area were economically disadvantaged - ‘food deserts’ being the main example. Now, when the municipalities are trying to offer that as the basic standard of living (basic needs in 15 minutes) it’s painted as a social control experiment. Jeez…imagine…a family not needing 1-2-3 or even 4 cars @ a carrying cost of $10k each per year to live your life. Or that your kids don’t have to ride a bus for 30+ minutes each way to get to high school … maybe they could actually ride a bike on a protected bike lane (costing a fraction of the cost of a road) and stay physically fit doing so and getting fresh air every day. So sure, I could see owning 1 car for some longer range & out of the way trips. But for everything else, a ‘15 min city’ with real vibrant neighborhoods and long distance transit (bus, plane, train) for most other travel sounds pretty darn good.
      And yes, we have our EV, but we also have a large ICE SUV. The EV is great at what it does, but I’m not saying ‘it’s the only option’ for everyone at all times ‘cause clearly it is not. But it is a tool and like all tools, where it’s fits, it’s hard to beat. Hammers make for bad screwdrivers, and visa versa.

And from the market research side of things, did nobody ask anyone if they would want to buy a 1) vehicle that costs more, 2) takes much longer to refuel, 3) will go less distance on that refuel, and that distance will probably halve in really cold weather, 4) will cost more to insure 5) will depreciate like a stone...........the list goes on.

You get 100 km of pure electric driving plugging in at home, that should handle 95% of peoples daily driving, if you exceed it you run on gas. People LOVE these things, they only go to the gas station every 3-4 months. The best part is the battery is very cost effective, so in 10 years when you change it, it only costs a few thousand dollars, compared to a Tesla which will be $20k+. It uses way less battery material, and you don't have to worry about running out of battery and sketchy charging stations.

    You are right about this. I have been thinking it for a long time. EVs are not the problem. They don’t want us to have cars AT ALL and they are using very powerful leverage to expel (all) cars from towns and cities. Cambridge and Norwich and Bristol and Oxford genuinely foresee becoming completely car free in the next 10-15 years. I’d rather struggle charging an EV than be prevented (by costs or congestion or restrictions or parking etc) from having a car at all.
    I think the real threat is the gradual closing down of the road network. Narrowing roads, closing car parks, retiming traffic lights, cycle lanes, bus lanes, all designed to reduce the capacity of the road network and make us “evaporate” and stay at home or close to home. That’s the real threat.
    My friends spent a fortune on an EV but STILL can’t go anywhere because Lambeth have shut the roads down to constant gridlock.
