10 Reasons Not To Own An Electric Vehicle
From California to New York to Washington, Democrats are using the coercive force of government to herd Americans into electric vehicles.

Here are 10 reasons why we should resist both this egregious abuse of power as well as the social pressure that demands we all go electric: [emphasis, links added]


1. The mandates are an egregious abuse of power. Where do government officials, both elected and unelected, derive the authority to tell Americans what vehicles they cannot own and what vehicles they must own? There is none. Yes, there are laws intended to keep dangerous cars and trucks off the streets for safety reasons. But no automobile is a threat just because it burns gasoline or diesel. Dare we say that those who buy an EV are complicit in securing for the state a power it was never intended to have?

I have seen some estimates that the chances of burning down your garage (and house if attached) is 10X what you would see with an IC Engine Vehicle.

I promise I will never buy an EV.  And that is the reason I am keeping my '07 Titan, which is flex fuel, and can run on pure ethanol.
