Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don't run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn't made its way up the supply chain.

Especially when you see some of the tech being rocked in Asian cities

This isn't exclusively a problem of the new administration, or the previous. All administrations since the late 20th century have been compliant in allowing the offshoring of most industry

This admin has set the USA back 100 years.

Again. They already enshrined "billionaires get all the money" in the one legislative victory of trumps first term.

The problem is systemic, it didn’t start with Trump. He’s just way more flagrant.

But… but… those good ol’ days felt so good! We need to relive those days!

Heard it can be hard / expensive if you need to order spare parts and stuff like that. Anything to that?

I don't think that's what they meant. I think they are just saying that people are still buying EVs, but they are just going to Chinese and other manufacturers instead of buying a Tesla. The article specifically calls out the stupid shit Elon has been doing.

Journalists do Nazi what you're talking about.

Buy european? I mean if that's an option.

I would say go with whatever company that doesn't have a CEO throwing Nazi salutes.

Root for better public transport and active cities instead of car dependency :)
