Re: [EVDL] Inside EV's headline - Get Ready For A War -
One of the things to take into consideration is that we passed peak conventional oil production in 2005. Any increase in replacement reserves will be increasingly more expensive with respect to salary growth going forward. As we burn through cheap gasoline and supplies are drawn down, we will eventually have to replace it with the expensive stuff. It maybe some time before that happens. EVs are more of a solution than ICEs will ever be. I think the powers that be know this and will feed their decision to Trump. We have to figure out their game plan. It may not be obvious or long lived. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)

ROBERT via EV wrote: Maybe it is time we all get a beer, sit back, cool off, relax, and take a break. That's fine. But, we should also expect stormy weather, and start thinking about how we are going to prepare for it! As to the death of EVs, I do not think it will happen because of the following: (1) Tesla has shown that a manufacturer can produce a saleable EV and make a profit. The other auto manufacturers cannot let Tesla be the only game in town. Even though Tesla is the most successful EV producer in the past 50 years, they've only produced a very small number of cars, for a tiny sliver of the automotive market. They are a smaller player than Porsche, Ferrari, etc. (whom the auto companies also basically ignore). Tesla is also not yet profitable. They've reported about a $6/share loss over the past year. Their best quarter was only a $0.15/share profit. The Tesla is a great car, and I'm rooting for them as "my team". But I also have to be realistic and recognize that their chances of surviving are still pretty slim. (2) CA and other places have enacted zero car emission requirements. Except that these standards were gutted immediately after the last Republican president took office. It happened before; it could happen again. (3) Some people that have purchased EVs as ICE replacements the last few years like the cars. True; but the auto companies dumped them anyway. Remember, car companies sell to their *dealers*, not the public. They cater to what their *dealers* want. And dealers generally do not like or want EVs. (4) Some countries such as China and India, who have a lot of people, have low oil reserves. They will continue to develop EVs and alternative energy. Yes, they will. And none of them can be imported to the USA without expensive custom re-design and testing. (5) There is a segment of the population that has always liked EVs and alternative energy and they have money to buy the products. That's Tesla's market. They can continue to hold that market; but it won't affect the automotive market in general. I like EVs! But I'm no 1%er, and will never be able to afford a Tesla. But I did get a Nissan Leaf, thanks to the deep discounts, rebates, and tax credits that were available. I would say the genie is out of its bottle and it is not going back into the bottle. They were able to kill the EV1 because it was only a single genie based on a single state requirement. Actually, all the automakers had EVs out then, and other states had them as well (Massachusetts, Georgia, Arizona, etc.) But you will notice that the winners have essentially re-written history -- the average person's view is that it never happened. a change in the administration in DC may slow down the electrification of transportation but it cannot stop it. Therefore, lets move on to what needs to be done to move forward. I believe they *can* stop it. That is why it's important for EVers to get organized, before we get trampled to death again! -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.

One recommendation by the auto manufacturers can make environmental sense - better coordination of the myriad of agencies that regulate the OEMs. Having more than one agency with some responsibility under one regulation makes for difficulty.

Re: [EVDL] Automakers lobby for "relief" from EVs
Today, beneficial charging policies are instituted mainly at City level since state and federal level is muc more difficult to move and more prone to influence from lobbyists, so I suggest that each tries to convince their city to change policies like for example Palo Alto has.

Easy, folks. I know there's a lot of concern and consternation abroad, yea verily a lot of anger -- but please, I ask you again to be careful about partisan politics in your posts. We're headed for trouble here in the US, largely because politicians have for decades been pushing an us-versus-them agenda. They demonize and dehumanize people who have different goals and convictions. We've seen where that gets you in Rwanda, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and far too many other places. Here in America we've already fought one civil war. Don't think it can't happen again. For some self-styled "warriors," EVs and even "greenish" ICEVs mark us as the enemy. Keep your wits about you. This is only one element of the degeneration of our society, but it's one that we have some control over right here on the EVDL. Please, let's concentrate on what we have in common -- the conviction that EVs are good for us and for society in general -- not on what divides us. The EVDL remains one of the most civil places on an increasingly hateful post-truth internet. Let's keep it that way. Thanks.

Re: [EVDL] Automakers lobby for "relief" from EVs
So far, everything about what Trump will do is speculation. He has said everything and yet said nothing. While I doubt I will find his policies resemble anything favorable to EVs, I think he realizes he can't unilaterally control congress. Campaigning is a game which, evidently, he is very good at. Being president is another. And many in congress are concerned about getting reelected in two years with an overall constituency roughly split 50-50 between dems and repubs.

I guess Rush meant 'crushed' in a figured way because those crushed cars in the 90's were leased and never owned. But I think most of you intelligent people must know that there are many ways of having you EVs 'crushed' by government not neccessarly by taking it to a crusher machine... ..my comment:) Marco Gaxiola EnergyEV.com On Sat, Nov 12, 2016 at 10:16 AM, Peri Hartman via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > Perhaps I missed it while skimming the article, but I didn't see any > mention of crushing vehicles who's title has been transferred to the > "owner".

Perhaps I missed it while skimming the article, but I didn't see any mention of crushing vehicles who's title has been transferred to the "owner". When I got my Leaf, I read the agreement and I am certain it did not give Nissan any allowance to repo the vehicle, other than for non payment.
