$92 billion being funneled to privately-owned automakers instead of even half of that being put towards good public transportation. But yay, I'm glad Ford/GM/Stallantis are getting some good bonuses off this. It's about time they got another taxpayer-funded bailout.

And the electric bicycle industry -- which is bigger than the electric car industry in terms of units sold, making e-bikes the real "EVs" -- gets ignored by both the government and the folks criticizing it!
you dont need a license to ride an ebike - the lack of focus at the federal level is a good thing
You need somewhere to ride it through. The roads here are so dangerous I've never seen an ebike in my area.
Needs secure destination parking too or else
This is unfortunately the truth.
yes and then they announce substantially scaling back their EV plans anyway
Because BEVs aren't the future. This is just a way to give certain companies money and nothing more.
you calling it? so whats the future?
If not hydrogen cars, it will be something like e-fuels. The point is that the replacement for existing vehicles must be able to fully match the abilities of them, or it won't happen.
