EVs Will Be More Expensive to Operate than Gas/Diesel Vehicles

Unless there's a major breakthrough in battery technology and power generation technology, EVs are probably going to be extremely expensive to own and operate compared to internal combustion engine cars. According to this article no planning went into how to recycle all the dead batteries. It's not economical to recycle them, currently, and maybe it won't ever be. Chances are the solution to that problem will be to charge the owner to recycle them. So an owner will need to pay to recycle and replace a dead battery every XXX,000 miles. There won't be a used car EV market. They're basically disposable.

Actually this seems like the pretext they'll use to eliminate personal ownership of a car. Cars will be like shitty software products that you lease, but that the corporation owns.

EVs are not practical at all for anything but personal transportation. I've pointed out in numerous posts that it is not feasible to replace diesel or to eliminate petroleum production, and in fact it will have to increase to support a "switch" to EVs.

I can't really think of any other example of central planning attempting to control an economy in a similar way, except the communist countries, which all collapsed, obviously. Why do we continue to sleep walk down this road to tyranny and collapse? What's wrong with people?
