Bold of them to assume the US is going to have electricity in 2030.

    I mean there is a non zero chance china invades the USA and has to rebuild the mess importing Chinese cars and solar panels.

    There is also non zero chance that the us does it to itself in a civil war and petrol becomes too expensive compared to solar in the aftermath.

    Also a non zero chance the us sees the damage they have done to thier world wide reputation and tries to undo the damage as best they can by trying to meat climate goals

    But yea realistically I'd bet on coal burning subs in 2030 after this November as the us public can't do anything good for it's own self interest and the orange turd will mandate something like that as I think he's a captain planet villain

    Meanwhile: Août 2026 : plus de 42 000 ventes et 38 % du marché,

    August 2026, 38% of cars sold were electric in France.

    That's today people, it will come to where you live too!

    I can't express how glad I am by reading that line.

    I work with people that are constantly parroting EVs are not taking off anywhere besides my own country (Portugal) and one of them has family and travels often to France and always says the french are not buying into the EVs scam.

    Gets tiresome.

    I wouldn't go as far as saying the people are gaslighted as they are just being averse to change. I'll concede that much.

    Are the car competitive? Dacia has been showcasing a few fully electric models here but the bulk of the EVs I'm seeing are mostly from Tesla, Volvo, Polestar, MG, KIA and Hyundai. I've even seen a fully electric Jaguar SUV. Most of these cars are in the higher price tier.

    Yes, the EVs available here are pretty disappointing

    What’s disappointing about them? Lots of great options. Many at around 30k that get 300 miles.

    They’re all SUVs. And they all have a giant iPad.

    There are smaller options with less than 300 miles if you’d like.

    The screens you can’t escape from easily, but that trend is not specific to EVs.

    This is just a guess but I don't think there will be as many vehicle sales regardless of what they are. The cameras and microphones and kill switches aren't exactly anything I want in a car.

    Unless the price of gas stabilizes, then it's back to the Canyoneros.
