Is Ford Hitting the Brakes on EVs?

Ford says it's committed to EVs, but behind the scenes its lobbyists are hitting the brakes. They're telling the EPA to weaken its proposed emission standards so the company can sell more gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs - and fewer EVs. Tell Ford to stop making the cars of the past and make more vehicles of the future. Go to biodiv.us/cleancarsnow to learn more.

    The girl with the fro is right! "Both Ford and GM posted disappointing EV sales results in Q2, while purely EV makers like Tesla, Rivian, and Polestar all posted record results. It seems over the past two years or so, automakers focusing their resources and time purely on electric vehicles are securing the supply chain needed to ramp production. Meanwhile, automakers like Ford and GM, which continue to invest in ICE vehicles, are having difficulty meeting demand with softening EV sales this year and ongoing supply chain hurdles."

    Half of a regular gas powered cars emissions come from it's manufacturing. Nowadays, cars contain a lot of plastic, up to 50%, and plastic is a fossil fuel product and a huge pollution problem. Rare earth minerals, well in highly sufficient concentrations have to be mined. And mining us also very polluting and fossil fuel intensive. Ah yes, and so are all the computers and electronic devices we all use. EDIT: The problem is personal vehicles. Well, one of the many problems.

    What about mining of gasoline? Does that get a pass? There will be less mining if we go all in with renewables that sticking with the status quo

    Rare Earth Minerals is not required in Induction Motor, Battery Chemistry and lower performance brakes (due to regen) of a BEV. FYI Rare Earth Minierals is use way less than you think. Some propagandist have even labeled Nickle and Lithium rare earth metal which is an outright lie.

    batteries have never been the answer. At least ford knows it. instead of mining unrenewable resources from the planet, we should make mandatory challenge to create energy sources that can fit in vehicles and homes that don't need refueling for at least a year and preferable for the life of the vehicle

    Good luck with that, that is an absurd amount of energy not even Fission Nuclear can do well. You are ignoring physics.
