Yup, the incredibly small percentage of EVs on the road and not old heaters and inadequate insulation must have killed them. Refusing to understand things so we can hate them is fun!

All they’re doing is giving the PTC the some teeth to be able to collect unpaid tolls. No one who actually paid their tolls should have a problem with this.

Most EVs can be set to charge during off peak hours.
How’s the artificial scarcity of oil and gas working for ya?

Then what you’re both ignoring is that this will be a gradual transition, likely with many exemptions for certain vehicle needs. Also, how’s the artificial scarcity of oil working out for us?
Heat pumps are highly efficient within certain temperature ranges and many EVs can be set to charge during off-peak hours. Sure, we need more chargers in public places, but businesses that are smart about drawing customers will eventually understand the incentive to install them. Rest areas on highways will have more of them as well.

Ok boomer. Blame the very small percentage of cars that are EVs.

😂 Congrats on reaching the pinnacle of Yinzerism. The most elite among us are the ones who pine for the things that used to be here before that other thing that used to be here.
