well congratulations. you found an example of the type of failure of scale im talking about. cities everywhere are abandoning these expensive fire traps and going back to gas.
yeah... im not a marxist so im not one to push for public transit forced on all.
They're only falling out of favor because windmills cause cancer. I also can't believe how many people have been brainwashed into thinking that we have better technology today than we did a hundred years, or that the infrastructure and technology for EV/PHEV/etc. will advance as more of them are on the road. People fall for way too much propaganda pushed out to demolish the stronghold some corporations have over some markets.
You have proof of that or you're just a anti EV kind of guy?
Proving my point on the beautifully nonsensical land. 100 years ago they were lead acid batteries. EVs are taking off globally, but our land is self sabotaging because a portion of the country has forgotten how government plays a role in technology development and transportation infrastructure. Also, having good transit does not mean forcing it. Tokyo has fantastic transit. You can also still own a car there if you'd like. It's not either or.
almost every city got grants from government to buy them in the first place, and heres how its going so far from a 5 second search. notice its mostly about defects:
| Agency / City | Roll Back Details |
|---|---|
| Des Moines (DART) | Retired entire fleet due to unreliability; operational ~60%; granted waiver of grant payback |
| LA Metro (G Line) | Replaced e-buses with CNG due to heat/stall issues and charging failures |
| Foothill Transit | High failure rate; returned vehicles to FTA; $5M loss |
| First Glasgow | Temporary withdrawal (structural problems); most buses returned to service |
| Albuquerque ART | Rejected defective e-buses; switched to clean-diesel |
| School Districts (U.S.) | Funding, delivery, and maintenance issues—some reverted to diesel |
You can't expect anyone to take you seriously with statements like these. If you truly believe we don't have better technology than 100 years ago or that EV infrastructure and tech isn't advancing or hasn't advanced over the last 10 years, you've clearly fallen for some kind of propaganda campaign yourself, are severely misinformed, or both.
This only proves that the zero emissions zealots will always double down on their failures.
Global EV sales is basically all chyna, and chyna have been caught fudging the EV sales data, well because fudging data is the new normal these days, no one looks beyond the fancy graphics displaying %
You should really "look beyond the fancy graphics displaying %".Global EV sales is basically all chyna, and chyna have been caught fudging the EV sales data, well because fudging data is the new normal these days, no one looks beyond the fancy graphics displaying %
Basically the government subsidize the new EV sales, then these EVs hit the used car market with ZERO miles on the odometer.

Again, analysis isn't your strong suit. It's ok. Despite eliminating a large subsidy, sales only contracted 27%, yet EV sales in 2024 were net positive and added to the total number of EV's on the road in Germany.
