Brett:

Excellent study. Thanks much for posting.

I'm sending it to all my ICE and non-ICE friends (I do have a couple non-ICE'rs---in laws---but I'm converting them as quickly as possible.)

EVs are a scam when you break down the cold hard numbers. And those numbers don't care about feelings. Hydrogen will win in the end. Most plentiful substance around. Thanks for the informative article.

Thanks for posting, that is quite the study and looks like tons of good info 👍

(unrelated, but sort of related)
I'm still not seeing "the math" anywhere to show how we can "fuel" (= charge) the batteries for this "all BEV" dream?
Here in NJ, they'll still be fighting over the off-shore wind when I'm dead and gone... all the while ignoring the costs

Interestingly, I read an article at Industry Week.com today titled, "Ford Postpones $12B in EV Investments".
That particular article says that Ford model e lost $36,000 per vehicle... seemed to be for Q3 2023.

Maybe some reality is starting to show?

The problem is reality never comes into consideration when .gov is involved.

I keep "hoping" (likely fruitless  ) that if more sources point out the realities... at least a few (vs only us throwbacks) will start to take note and maybe the tide will turn

Mark p:  But, you're not being paid-off under (or above) the table, like our friends in gov't.
