Excerpt:
"Who needs government regulations when you have General Motors?

The world’s once-largest automaker and now world’s second-greatest rent-seeker (after Tesla Motors) says it wants even tougher federal “emissions” standards – in order to “ensure at least 50 percent of the new vehicles sold by 2030” are . . . yup . . . . EeeeeeeeeeeVeeeeees.

And it just so happens that GM has already said that EeeeeeeeeeeeeVeeeeeeee are all it intends to offer by right about then.

GM made the announcement in tandem with the Environmental Defense Fund – which defends the “environment” in the same way that Twitter “defends” free speech. The EDF is in fact a Leftists front that uses shibboleths about “the environment” to further the spread of Leftism.
...
“General Motors has the ultimate goal of eliminating tailpipe emissions from new light duty vehicles by 2030,” says the rent-seeking head of General Motors, Mary Barra. But this will not result in the elimination of pollution from new light-duty vehicles. That was effectively achieved decades ago – a thing they do not want you to know.

Because it might cause you to object.

There is almost no pollution emanating from the tailpipes of any vehicle made since the late 1990s, by which time exhaust had been scrubbed of literally 97-98 percent of the pollution that previously emanated from there. It is why the EPA granted the appellation – Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) to hundreds of thousands of new cars beginning in the early 2000s, none of which were EeeeeeeeeeeeeeVeeeeeeeeees. Or even hybrids.

They were simply almost emissions-free vehicles. If by that word one meant pollution-free."

    I am getting slightly paranoid. My Ford Explorer only has 40,000 miles on it, but the Warranty has expired. I got in it this a.m. and attempted to back out of my parking place. It was so hard to do, I stopped and looked at the panel and saw a message, 'Steering fault, service required'. This was scary, if your power steering can go out while parked, can it go out while you are driving? I've never had this happen to any of my 9 Fords I've owned. N

      This caused me to consider something else. Will an EV have the power to climb some of the steep mountainous areas in our country? Is electric power and good as fossil fuels?

        My son-in-law has a Tesla, and it is not short on power. The real issue is how much battery it uses to generate that power. In your example, it will shoot right up the mountain, but there better be a charging station at the top!

    how will fire trucks and other emergency vehicles be powered?

    to fight a fire, you need water pressure
    right now that is provided by the gasoline or diesel engine on the fire truck

    the fire trucks are not big enough to have the needed battery capacity to fight fires

    and if all the gas stations are gone, where will they get fuel in an emergency???

    liberals are such children, think their stupid childish plans can actually solve problems (real r imagined)
