Dear Editor:
Taxpayers subsidizing the auto industry to produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The politicians would have us believe they will create a thousand jobs. I am not a mathematician but how many jobs are lost not producing the combustion engine? What is the cost of more electricity and the charging stations?
Also I might ad, the old saying “time is money” – charging an EV is not like going through a drive-thru at Tim Hortons. Now here is another problem: what do we do with the dead batteries?
Useless politicians we can vote out. But you can not solve one problem by creating another. Why not push for increased technology on the hybrid mobility?
I think our so-called leaders might find their constituents are not as dense as they are.
