I suppose you drive a car that uses gas or diesel?

Complaining about an EV's impact the environment is like complaining about traffic when you're stuck in traffic. Forgetting the obvious fact - you are traffic.

What baffles me about the EV dissent is the newly minted eco warriors. Before EVs they couldn't care less about their impact on the environment. But with the advent of EVs....suddenly the environment is a concern to them? It's odd and disingenuous.

Low 20s will get you a Chevy Bolt with a new battery and around 230 miles of range.
Thats great if you’re collecting a pilot check and not making three alimony payments. A little tougher for Joe and Suzie Walmart, their two kids and rampant inflation.

Trading suspended on nickel.

Estimating at least a minimum $1,000 increase in every EV car and that was before todays price increase.

I don’t see how this current economic environment doesn’t end up impacting the airlines negatively.

It will just advance OEMs switching to lithium iron phosphate batteries....zero nickel content. Which is a more stable chemistry than lithium ion.
