Very good summary of the current state of affairs in the US regarding EV adoption vis. global warming. Maybe a bit of conjecture in the Inside EVs article, but it does capture how detached from reality both political parties are on the subject. If where you are headed is usually where you end up, it might be a good idea to start rolling out the red carpet for the Peoples Republic of China's EV industry.

" citing three unnamed officials said to be familiar with the plan." Maybe you can make this shit up.

Maybe I’m off in my perception of what hinders EV adoption in the US, but I don’t think it’s cost. One can buy today a 20k Tesla (3, used) which is below the average transaction price of a used car. The US buyer isn’t convinced they can drive as per usual (where/how far/ how fast) and the Chinese vehicles, however advanced, don’t change that.

This is a bit long/slow but was a good contrast into what it takes to achieve high rates of adoption:
