The benefits for going Green and EV is NOT being felt now. not by a long shot, if anything the real TRUTH is that the quest to transition to EV has substantially made carbon polution worst. How? Because people forget about the vast polluting process and manufacturing involved in mining for precious metals and material that not only builds the machines that create the EV parts, but also the power and energy required to produced and manufacture the final EV products. Its an industry atop an already existing oil industry doubling down the effort. So until several generations of the EV industry. So not until we are decades down the road and have shut down much of the oil industry will we still see vast amounts of pollution. in other words, the GREEN you use came to be by very pollution causing methods.
Companies realize the cost saving of EVs vs ICE vehicles fleet more companies will make the EV switch or watch their competition that did, become more profitable let's face facts this is about saving money to make more money
Ask the smoker how’s the ev compared to old trucks ….hold my Marlboro toke
Little late 2023 2010 should’ve been it

🇧🇷PRESIDENT BOLSONARO WE NEED ACTION! PLEASE THIS NATION THAT CRIES IS WAITING FOR HELP…PRISON FOR THE DICTATOR MINISTER MORAES ALEXANDER .. THE WORLD IS WATCHING… 🐀LULA IS ROBBER NOT PRESIDENT
Oil prince are crying right now.
I don't think these companies like Amazon are gonna be around much longer….
Biased reporting. There’s a lot of down sides not reported. And if it was so greats you wouldn’t need government subsidies to get businesses to make that purchase.
Buy Mullen stock
Wait until next summer in California and we are told not to charge our cars… Let's see how these companies feel when they can't make deliveries.
RIP auto industry
Obiden did that.
What means to be done is more R&D into making batteries smaller and more powerful

Until the power grid shuts off then no one's going to get any packages
Have you all seen the Twitter files yet they're starting to get really good grab some popcorn and check it out
To all of the diehard gas car drivers. It's almost all over. When motor vehicles took over from horses during the 1910s it took about a decade. Look at photos from those times. You can see the change almost in real time.
Solar could collect heat, wind could collect static. Hydro can collect cold. Roman gadgetry is not soulful. Or earthen. Or monumental. Or from god.
Costs a lot less to run, so they're saving a ton of money by using them. Less maintenance too. Really a no brainer for fleets.
For everyday commuters like myself, the price simply needs to come down and the range/speed of charging needs to be improved, some offer 10 minute fast charging already.
Tesla is the worst brand of electric to get, go with a mainstream vehicle manufacturer like GM/Ford or a European brand.
