  • If those clowns on the board represent the electric car industry, they are in trouble. The professor was the worst smug, pansy of them all.
  • @geoffmcnew5863
    Where do the approximately 100 million people who don't have a driveway, let alone a garage, and have to park at the curb charge their EVs? 100 million extension cords across sidewalks?? Sounds like a slip-fall lawyer's dream come true.
  • I just cannot believe that all these clowns that the senate interviews cannot or will not ever answer a question properly. What a disgrace we have become.
  • @RhondaBoyle
    The Princeton professor needs to SIT DOWN. The American people don’t care to keep throwing money at you.
  • @joym3415
    They make me pay for a wealthy person to have a car I’ll never afford.
  • @danield2685
    Electric cars are not sustainable. Batteries are ridiculous
  • @hankgs
    WHY is Hertz and Avis DUMPING EV cars....? BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO DRIVE THEM
  • @joym3415
    No public funding should ever be spent for private profits .
  • @Wolf-hd9ke
    Very well done. What Sen. Kennedy said at the very end is the whole ball of wax!!!
  • @laurenlyons632
    That Davis guy represents 90% of Americans, "I didn't buy one because I may need to drive 450-500 miles." EXACTLY! When you actually need to drive you want a car you can trust will keep running whether you're in California, Iowa, Florida, or NY.
  • The whole electric car thing is a scam , anyone with Hal has brain cell knows u reinforce the grid and charging station before u start making the cars smh
  • @tedbogucki8729
    EV's make great fireballs when the batteries catch on fire
  • Drill baby drill! Get gas and oil prices down to what it was with Trump and the EV is done. Trump2024
  • @larsmich1874
    I work with Ev-chargers, Circle K and Zap-tech etc. It is useless tech. The chargers overheat and burn up very often, and no one have any idea what to do with the used chargers. My warehouse is 50% full of useless Electric Waste that no one wants to deal with.
  • @JeffSmith-pl2pj
    An electric car without a battery? That must be a long extension cord.
  • @JohnSmith-ug5ci
    Too expensive, too short a range, too long to charge not to mention that they are in no way green.
  • @chadfyffe9799
    A study found that 80% of American households cannot readily get their hands on $2,000 in the event of an emergency. so can someone enlighten me on how can anyone afford one of these ev’s?

    I work in a bike shop. Electric bicycles like cars are a joke! They all break within days, weeks or a few months! Their environmental impact is huge! They're in a landfill within a year or two at most!
