The EV sector is engaged in a meltdown even as the fossil fuel auto sector is increasing sales. The people have voted with their hard-earned dollars. And the Biden Administration has pleaded with the oil sector to increase oil production to provide cheap gasoline for the American middle class. That cry for help has been heeded by the oil producers and America is now World No. 1 oil producer, thanks to Biden & Co. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Charting-the-Course-of-US-Oil-Production.html "Sustained high prices during the previous year, driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the reopening of the Chinese economy (which proved to be less catalytic over time), led to price spikes. Furthermore, when OPEC+ announced further cuts in April 2023 totaling 1.65 mbpd, building on the previous cut of 2 mbpd declared in October 2022, oil producers worldwide, including those in the US, were encouraged to increase production. Most importantly, technological advancements in the US, such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, allowed producers to tap into previously untapped reserves." 1 month in 2023 and this is the best you have............?????? and you ignore that ICE vehicle sales in Norway in Jan of 2023 were ....drum roll...........less than 2 percent of the market.............. you should have read the article that your dimwitted pal referenced before posting here... makes you look like a bigger idiot than EWO (which is not easy).

Here’s what we know World Jul 11, 2018 3:29 PM EST BRUSSELS — President Donald Trump wasted no time in escalating his verbal attacks on Germany in the opening leg of his European tour. Seated across from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at breakfast Wednesday morning ahead of the alliance’s meeting, Trump expanded his criticism beyond how little – in his view – Europe’s most powerful economy spends on defense to target where they buy their energy. “Germany is totally controlled by Russia,” he said. “They will be getting between 60 and 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline.” But those numbers aren’t correct. Here’s what we know about the pipeline and the broader fight over natural gas exports. What is the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline? What we now know...BOOM! That said, when Nord Stream 2 is completed, it will increase the amount of natural gas Germany gets from Russia. It will also allow Russia to send more of its gas to Germany and its European customers through Germany, therefore bypassing Ukraine, with which Russia is engaged in conflict. Ukraine has long argued Russia wants to both deprive it of badly needed income that it collects for the transit of Russian gas to the rest of Europe and also increase the continent’s dependence on Russian energy. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-scolded-germany-for-buying-gas-from-russia-heres-what-we-know Edited February 20 by Eyes Wide Open 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron Wagner + 706 February 20 https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-percent-of-us-car-sales-are-electric What Percent Of US Car Sales Are Electric? Dustin Hawley | Apr 03, 2023 Electric vehicles account for less than 1% of the 250 million vehicles, SUVs, and light-duty trucks sold in the United States. Because only around 17 million new cars are being built each year, changing the vehicles from gas-powered to electric will be a long process, especially as far as the government is concerned. While electric vehicles have gained popularity over the last decade, acceptance needs to be more consistent. Purchase incentives, such as tax credits or refunds, are criticized by some as mainly benefiting buyers who can afford the high cost of a new electric car. And approximately two-thirds of electric or plug-in hybrid car owners earn more than $100,000. But all the base facts and problems aside, let’s look at things in-depth. What Are The Best-Selling Electric Cars? Tesla, the longest-running pure electric brand, tops electric car sales in the United States, with about 114,000 vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2022. Tesla's broad Electric vehicle range, which includes two SUVs and two sedans, offers a wide range of pricing points and sizes, and its charging network is well-known. The Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X are a common sight nowadays, frequently outselling many established gasoline-powered cars. Kia is second in electric vehicle sales in the US. With 8,450 vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2022, demand for the electric vehicle has taken up, with the first units arriving in the hands of delighted consumers. The smaller, adaptable Kia Niro has also witnessed an increase in demand, and the release of a modified version earlier this year will help drive more sales. Ford is third, with slightly over 7,400 electric vehicles delivered in the United States in the first quarter. The bulk of these vehicles was one model: the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The new electric Ford Lightning pickup truck recently reached the market, with a little over 50 delivered between the beginning of the year and the end of March. This figure could also increase since Ford has received over 200,000 Lightning orders. Ford's challenge will be obtaining enough components to meet the intense demand for its quick, capable, and powerful electric pickup. Hyundai produced and delivered about 7,000 electric vehicles in the first quarter of 2022. It is more than twice the amount of electric vehicles delivered in the same period in 2021. Over 6,200 registrations were for the Hyundai Ioniq 5, followed by the Hyundai Kona electric compact. Local Deals & Incentives If you are in the market for a new car we can help you find local deals and the latest incentives from dealers in your area. Find Best Deals Percentage Of US Car Sales Only around 1% of all vehicles (2 500,000) in the United States were electric in 2019. In 2018, the number was around 328,118, showing a 75% year-over-year growth, demonstrating the shifting demand. Data also reveals that Californians are particularly interested in electric vehicles, with 153,442 vehicle purchases in 2018. Electric and hybrid vehicle sales grew massively in 2020, with hybrids increasing by 76% and completely electric vehicles rising by 83%. Although this was a significant increase, just 3% of vehicle sales in 2021 were electric, with hybrids accounting for 5%. In 2022, electric car sales increased by 5% as multiple new electric models reached the market. The price of the most famous electric vehicle brand in America is one element in the poor sales figures for electric cars. Tesla’s pricing clearly was an issue for most, and its price tag on new models confirms this. Many cannot afford to buy their vehicles, mainly because a large enough chunk of the EV buyers (10%) are between the ages of 25 and 34. As electric vehicles become more popular, the price difference between them and conventional ones will narrow significantly. The increased number of charging and plug-in power stations has considerably aided electric vehicle growth. Because of faster charging and more efficient batteries, long-distance travel is becoming easier for owners. As a result, if this electric car sales trend continues, Californians may expect to see 4 million electric vehicles on the road in years to come. However, California is one of many states that is encouraging the use of electric cars over traditional, fossil-fuel vehicles. There is also a significant increase in electric vehicle usage in New York, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Summary Because conventional vehicles last longer, roughly 16 years on average, transitioning the vehicle industry towards EVs is likely a gradual process. Meanwhile, electric cars haven’t found stable footing on the market and still lose to traditional gas-powered automobiles. Although there will likely be more and more EVs on the road each year, predicting how the consumer will behave proves difficult nonetheless.

Chicago needs to realize that the bottom line is that oil companies produce oil, which is a legal substance and have responded to the federal Biden administration's pleas to produce more oil until America is the world number one producer. And, yes, legal means legal. The oil companies should counter-sue these nonsensical litigants for legal harassment and abuse of a legal procedure. If these people are serious about oil being a problem, they should elect a government which will immediately outlaw the substance. Until then, there is nothing wrong with producing oil. Having a debate about the causes of climate change does not constitute deception, and the oil companies do not control the government. The plaintiffs will have to show that the President relies upon the arguments put forward by the oil companies...but that does not happen. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Chicago-Files-Suit-Against-Big-Oil.html Edited February 21 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
