1 - it's not "dino juice" No dinosaur has ever gone into the making of petroleum. Oil is made from decayed plant matter. It's much like the sludge you find in swamps. 2 - EV's require tremendous amounts of plastics, all of which are petroleum-based anyway. 3- lithium to power said EV's comes from exactly one place on the planet right now. China. North of 80% of all lithium is mined in China, most of which is along the Yellow River. Currently, over 93% of the world's lithium is refined in China. China does not have the environmental regulations surrounding such industry as western countries do. In fact, they have exactly zero environmental regulations at all. This is why the lithium mines in China and the sludge pits around there, are the most environmentally toxic places on the planet. 4- Most cobalt that is combined with the lithium to make the batteries, is mined with literal slave labor in Africa. China currently owns and operates all of those mines. Before you get on some pedestal about the second coming of the battery of Christ, actually research the topic so you know at least a little bit about what you are talking about.

They literally can't. Even the most cursory research will show that all the talking points they have are completely refuted by facts. EVs catch fire at a far lower rate than gas powered cars. A study of NEW CARS shows EV fires occurred in 0.0012% of EVs worldwide between 0 and 3 years old. Gas cars showed a rate of 0.1%. That means around 75000 gas powered vehicles caught fire worldwide last year. If they were all EVs instead only 900 of them would have caught fire.

On a daily basis, there is no compromise for use, drive as you would an ICE vehicle. When we travel we can schedule charging stops along with rest stops and/or eating while the car charges.

@@Angela-iv7qy a simple google search: "According to a 2023 report from the MSB, electric vehicles (EVs) have averaged about 20 fires per year over the last three years, out of about 611,000 EVs. In comparison, fuel-powered cars, which number about 4.4 million, have had about 3,400 fires during the same time period. However, some say that when looking at the numbers as a percentage, EVs are actually less likely to catch fire than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. For example, research from EV Fire Safe suggests that passenger EVs have a 0.0012% chance of catching fire, while ICE vehicles have a 0.1% chance. A study by AutoinsuranceEZ found that EVs have 25.1 fires per 100,000 sales, while gas-powered vehicles have 1,529.9 fires per 100,000 sales. Tesla also claims that the number of fires involving their vehicles on US roads from 2012 to 2021 was 11 times lower per mile than all other cars."

Pete was being deceptive in his answer of .05% being bought by FEDERAL Gov. How many State and Municipalities have bought EV's because they were given grants from the Feds? A LOT! Electric busses bought that don't work and the company has now gone bankrupt so they can't be repaired. He said 80% of EV's are being charged at home...OK! But people who have that option are a small slice of the motoring public, so what's going to happen to all of the people who don't have that option? They must rely on public charging which is totally inadequate and while Pete said 'we've doubled the number of chargers'....they need 100X or more of what exist today. And...he didn't explain where all the power is supposed to come from to charge all the EV's if they flood the market with them? We're not building Base Generation and 'wind and solar' isn't going to cut it. You can't force a switch over to EV's quickly without the supporting infrastructure which doesn't exist now or for the foreseeable future. They're forcing companies to mass produce EV's that aren't selling and costing them BILLIONS of dollars to build vehicles that people won't buy. It's lunacy.

It was a stupid question as asked (as most of the questions were). It is not a problem specific to EVs. It *may* be a problem with newer vehicles in general. Check out all new vehicles. A lot of them don't have key holes anymore, instead opting to use electronics in some fashion. There *may* be a real concern for review there, but it's not in any way specific to EVs and was therefore irrelevant to EV specific discussion. This is Republicans once again throwing away a topic that might actually be worth discussing with Pete and instead trying to frame it as another attack on EVs in service to their corporate donors.
