Ecochump is wrong as usual gasoline demand world wide is super weak WTI is primarily cracked for Gasoline WTI is dropping hard right now gas at the pump....in my neck of the woods is at $2.55 a gallon gasoline on the futures is falling hard at $2.17 so much for the guy who claims ...... demand for good old gasoline is ramping up......... EVs/hybrids are insuring that gasoline demand is going to fall for the next 30 years Peak Gasoline happened 2018 Enjoy the EV boom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 1,474 DL November 8, 2023 (edited) EVs remain an economic dead weight, demand is falling for EVs and government subsidies for buyers are set to come off in Germany, which will likely mean declining sales of private EVs as in Britain. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Is-The-EV-Revolution-Still-Happening.html "In Europe, meanwhile, EV subsidies are being reduced in the biggest market for the vehicles: Germany. From January next year, prospective EV buyers will receive 1,500 euro less in state support for cars that cost up to 40,000 euro. That's equal to about $1,600. Per BloombergNEF, this might affect sales negatively. Per common sense, the reduction will undoubtedly affect EV sales negatively. There is also the issue of insurance for EVs. In the U.S., as a total, EV insurance rates are modestly higher than insurance rates for ICE cars, but it varies considerably from state to state. In the UK, EV insurance premiums have soared by two-thirds over the past year, and some insurers are refusing to provide cover for electric cars altogether. The problem is potentially serious and might have an even greater effect on EV purchases than charger problems do. The reason insurers are not fans of EVs is the higher costs they have to incur on EV claims compared with ICE car-related claims. First, there is the battery, which might get damaged seriously in even a minor collision. Because there is no way to check whether the battery has been damaged, insurers have had to write off EVs after minor collisions. Electronics in EVs are also much more expensive to fix than electronics in ICE cars. In short, EV coverage has become too expensive for some insurers."

Several C-Suite leaders at some of the biggest carmakers voiced fresh unease about the electric car market's growth as concerns over the viability of these vehicles put their multi-billion-dollar electrification strategies at risk."

I highly doubt that would happen, those nations need to sell oil to make money. They do production cuts to sell less oil but at higher prices. Selling almost no oil at super high prices doesn't make money. Insane oil prices due to political instability would also make green energy and EV's more desirable. Why let Iran etc. have any control of our economies? Fact is right now the oil markets are dropping fast and have for days straight. $74.97 now... Hopefully you get some cheap diesel.
