The impact of electric vehicles is tough to understand. Between the government, environmentalists, manufacturers, and energy companies, it’s an all-out war to control the narrative of public perception. Despite generous government subsidies and propaganda promoting EVs, Americans show a strong preference for gas-powered cars. The recent proposed vehicle emission standards by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) further restrict consumer choice, aiming for an average vehicle emitting only 73 grams of carbon dioxide per mile by 2032, a standard unattainable even by the most fuel-efficient hybrids on the market. The rising cost of electric vehicles, particularly due to expensive batteries, has led to concerns about the affordability and longevity of these vehicles. The uncertainty regarding the lifespan of EV batteries, typically estimated at 8 to 10 years, raises questions about the practicality and cost-effectiveness of owning an electric vehicle, especially in the context of a potentially diminishing used car market. In this episode, Marlo Lewis joins Mike to dive into the truth about EVs, their impact, and the economics behind their increasing presence in our everyday lives. ----- Please read carefully. This is not financial advice. You may be asking, “What does that mean?” Let me explain… Do not just do what I, my team, or my guest say. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions. YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, nor my team, nor my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity, or how much money you can afford to lose. We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees. Also, understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind, we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations. Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.
