Subject: Re: EV and 2024
Dealers don't like them for a few reasons. First, you have Tesla that does not rely on dealers. Second, EVs require very little maintenance. Most dealers make most of their money on the service end.

Dealers don't like them because they're flat out not selling very many of them. And unlike gas cars, the batteries have shelf lives.

I'm sure it's not only Reps. But if you read the article, there are key swing states that are benefiting from EV. So campaigning against that is campaigning against peoples' jobs. Never a good idea, unless it is a dying industry.

But your point was that the voters would punish the GOP for being skeptical of EV cars. However, if you look at the Michigan battery factory, a number of Republican elected officials lost their jobs because they were in *favor* of it.
