Still, it is badly out of touch with the realities of those lower down.īiden administration policies don’t just favor EVs they also burden gasoline vehicles with costly regulations. The EV agenda may be in fashion with those on the upper rungs of the economic ladder, where such virtue signaling is in vogue. Indeed, upward of 90 percent of EVs sit in the driveways of multi-car households next to one or more gasoline-powered cars that are typically driven more miles. Perhaps the greater affordability issue stems from their limited range, long charging times and difficulty charging in urban environments where street parking is the norm, compared with the relative ease and reliability of operating gasoline-powered vehicles.ĮVs are not practical as a household’s sole vehicle, which is all many struggling families can afford.

The higher sticker price of EVs - even with the tax credits - is not the only reason they don’t make sense for those of modest means. Millions of Americans will pay a price for this folly, most of all the low-income households that depend so much on the affordable gasoline-powered vehicles that have been the target of this agenda. After years of hype, it is becoming undeniable that most people don’t want them and, increasingly, fewer can afford them.

Reality is starting to intrude on America’s electric vehicle fantasies.
