Ford CEO Jim Farley admitted he underwent a "reality check" when he tried to make a cross-country road trip in the Ford electric F-150.

"Charging has been pretty challenging," Mr. Farley said in a video on X, formerly known as Twitter. "It was a really good reality check of the challenges of what our customers go through and the importance of fast charging and what we're going to have to do to improve the charging experience."

In California, Mr. Farley said he encountered slow charging times. When using a low-speed charger, it took about 40 minutes for it to charge the electric F-150's battery to 40 percent.

EV's are not designed for emergency situations.

EV's are not designed for emergency situations.

Yep, and that is an excellent reason not to buy one.  In an emergency you need reliable transportation and that isn't an E.V..

Even with heavy subsidies, ev's are still more expensive to own and operate than ICE vehicles.

Wind turbines have been failing mysteriously.

According to a Bloomberg travel report, these fallen wind turbines span various locations across the world, especially Oklahoma, Sweden, Colorado, and Germany. Fortunately, we already know why this is happening. Three of the world's top wind turbine manufacturers have put the blame on the rush to build bigger turbines, which has led to quality control issues.

Most of the turbines that have collapsed in various locations across the world are at least 750 feet tall. The tallest so far was a 784-foot giant turbine that fell in Germany towards the end of 2021.

Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, and General Electric are the three biggest companies in the wind turbine industry. Reports have it that their turbines are falling due to manufacturing issues.

With bigger turbines also come bigger problems that the industry doesn't seem to be capable of handling effectively.

Are ev sales down?

[Oerdin]

Mostly due to price and the fact that regular people don't want them.

The UK is also enacting tyrannical laws just like California is doing.  Amazing how world wide the WEF is pushing this all over the western world but not in the rest of the world.
