Major Car Maker Lost an Astonishing Amount of Money on Electric Vehicles

The Biden administration continues to implement burdensome regulations through the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy to force car companies into producing electric vehicles. Those mandates are taking an enormous toll on the bottom line, causing Ford alone to lose $4.5 billion to comply -- that's a $60,000 loss per car produced.
 
"Ford Motor Company announced it is projected to lose a whopping $4.5 billion from electric vehicles (EVs) this year, up from the previous projected loss of $3 billion," Fox Business reports. "The company released its second-quarter financial results on Thursday. The U.S.-based automaker's EV division, called "Ford Model e," has lost $1.8 billion so far this year."

With the massive losses, there's no doubt the Biden administration will argue taxpayers should further subsidize the loss and continue to comply with Biden's climate agenda. In fact, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre recently touted subsidies from the "Inflation Reduction Act" while falsely claiming they have made electric vehicles more affordable.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Central Government planning did work for Stalin, Mao, and is not working well for Xi.

What would make it different this time?
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

Yet at the same time, both the United Auto Workers union and the administration decry the industry's massive "profits"...
