EV's are a dud: "GM Expanding Production of Gas-Powered Vehicles"

I hear Amazon is even gonna stop commin up there as well...

Possibly, but for now USPS is clearly in the lead in the stopping department. Ordered a rare part for the RePete's brakes on eBay. It started in central Texas, went to some small town in Arizona, then an even smaller town in Arizona, and finally to Albuquerque where it has been for two days now. Was supposed to be here Wednesday.

Yes, I know that how badly you need something is directly proportional to how long it takes a package to arrive, but this one also has another twist. I put down the street address in normal fashion, the seller shipped with USPS...and we don't have mail delivery here.

Anyway, if you actually meant Amazon coming here, they never have and most likely never will. FedEx and UPS does. And to some extent USPS also works, just not well.

I work at a small shop
It is mentioned now and then about getting a charging station in the parking lot
My reply is usually
"We don t have a gas pump here why would we get a charging station"

I m sure we could get 1 & charge for it
Then no one would use it unless it was an emergency

That was probably the thought behind a small business near here installing one, but emergency or not, since it's not hooked up to the grid its existence is irrelevant.

Exactamundo.

Once Gen-Z is the major buying power in the economy...

: (

My prediction is that unless Gen-Z escapes from their mind debilitating "wokeness", they'll never become a major buying power.

Our worker-to-worker newsletter just announced that PHEV builds will be fewer and farther in between as of now. I'm guessing they will be moving to order only.

A viable product doesn't need government subsidy and tax breaks to sell. That tells me all I need to know.

All this money should be put in to good widely available public transportation imo. Gen whatevers don't even wanna drive a car.
