Ashamed to admit it, I somehow missed the news about the global competition to be the first jurisdiction to enshrine in law the requirement to only sell electric vehicles.
Just before I sat down to write, I searched the internet’s reaches for others elsewhere feeling sheepish and inferior losing the worldwide jockeying for supremacy. Still looking. The pretension, hubris, delusion and danger of this law is that a government can impose a distortion on the consumer market and penalize those buyers and sellers who don’t play along. Auto dealers are correctly having an SUV-sized fit. If they were consulted at all, they weren’t heard.
There remain good questions about whether EVs are indeed an ideal environmental answer to our high-emitting transportation. Then there’s the lifestyle piece. Sure, cities are becoming Tesla towns, but any trip beyond the tony urban centres into more challenging roads reveals a world of grumbling engines today that will feature grumbling drivers tomorrow if they are pushed from purchasing another one and another one and another one. Even if bought with their own money.
