The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

news.umich.edu - EV transition will benefit most US vehicle owners but lowest income americans could get left behind

More than 90% of vehicle-owning households in the United States would see a reduction in the percentage of income spent on transportation energy'the gasoline or electricity that powers their cars, SUVs and pickups'if they switched to electric vehicles.

And more than 90% of households that replace gas-powered vehicles with EVs would also reduce the amount of climate-warming greenhouse gases they generate, according to a new University of Michigan study.

However, more than half of the lowest-income U.S. households (an estimated 8.3 million households) would continue to experience high transportation energy burdens, defined in this study as spending more than 4% of household income on filling the tank or charging up.

The published paper: iopscience.iop.org: Mapping electric vehicle impacts: greenhouse gas emissions, fuel costs, and energy justice in the United States
