The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

msn.com - What you should know about the new electric vehicle rule

he Biden administration on Wednesday published a rule that’s expected to drive a significant shift from gas-powered to electric vehicle (EV) sales.

For consumers, this is expected to mean more available and affordable EVs. Some analysts say it could also have the opposite effect on gas-powered cars, making them pricier and less available.


Right off the bat, we're getting into speculation. The average price an EV today is $53k according to Kelly Blue Book (kbb.com - How much electric car cost.)

which is $5k more than a gas powered car. I realize some of you love your Teslas, but until and unless battery technology moves into the solid state realm they will be a no-sale for me.

The Biden administration said the rule issued Wednesday could result in just 29 percent of the new car market remaining gas-powered in 2032. In the administration’s lowest-cost scenario, it estimated by that year, 56 percent of vehicles would be battery electric, 13 percent would be plug-in hybrids and 3 percent would be other hybrids.

Yuck.
