EVs You Can Buy ... Maybe

This site provides a comprehensive list of all electric vehicles currently available in the US:

Note that many are more expensive than the average family can afford. Perhaps that's the whole idea, to limit travel instead of promoting it.

Here's a question - since EVs contain far fewer moving parts than a typical ICE vehicle, why are they so much more expensive? Is it just because of the batteries?

A more important question - how much of the Earth has to be dug up and despoiled to produce the batteries for these EVs? Here is a partial answer to that question from the Mexican state of Sonora:

If you read between the lines, you'll realize that any pretext of a "free market" is nonsense. Whatever the US and the Davos/WEF beast want they'll get, and they don't mind killing people to get it.

Apply that principle to Ukraine and the rest of the world and you'll have a good picture of what's in store for all of us.
