Demand stalls for electric vehicles? Was There Ever a HUGE Demand for EVs? Without Government subsidies, EVs would likely be where they were Historically – February 26, 2024
I’m running outta juice, bro… That was how many of us viewed EVs in the 1970s and 1980s: short-sighted, far-left hippies who loved smoking pot and hated a hard day’s work loved themselves some Electric vehicles.
What a lot of people don’t understand about Karl Marx is how he inspired the lazy thinkers on this earth. Karl Marx hated the idea of a hard day’s work in order to enjoy the spoils of capital.
To read the communist manifesto, which, by the way, was a POLITICAL PHAMPLET when it was first written, must have sounded like a dream come true, to some. “You, mean, the GOVERNMENT, can you really do that?”, the naive at the time must of envisioned, “of course they can, as long as you give up all your freedoms, liberties, and PROPERTY RIGHTS, after all these evil capitalists are exploiting you, who needs freedom of speech or freedom of expression if you’re living in poverty, right?”
Give the government the power to control PRICES and redistribute capital whenever they deem it necessary, and viola, your life will get better. In a nutshell, that’s communism, and that’s the modern Electrical Vehicle revolution.
Toyota has been known for being a PRAGMATIC automobile company that, because it’s Japanese, has a hardline approach to LABOR UNIONS.
W. Edwards Deming known as the father of the quality movement and was hugely influential in post-WWII Japan, Deming is why people look Japan made products as quality. If you’re wondering why China, for example, often makes junky products, the Chinese COMMUNIST PARTY are “know it all’s”, which is common amongst Leftists.
Don’t get it confused; Deming was also REJECTED in the United States, likely because the Labour Unions in the U.S. were know-it-alls. Deming’s concentration on quality undermines the Labour union movement, which concentrates on driving up COSTS for the private and public entities it represents.
We live in a litigious society, it still baffles my mind why anyone especially in 2024 needs a labor union to represent them. A simple viral video of an evil capitalist EXPLOITING his work would be enough to shut down any business. You have hippy kids in 2024, protesting outside of people’s homes who they disagree with, imagine if some evil capitalist was exploiting it’s workforce, what would happen?
With all of its problems, if you go to Japan today, everything is built with QUALITY and long-term thinking. Japan gets a lot of earthquakes, but they’ve managed to create buildings that can handle most earthquakes.
I bring this up because Toyota stuck with their Hybrid model because they immediately saw the problems with EVs. Japan doesn’t have a lot of natural resources; it’s heavily dependent on Nuclear Energy, which keeps energy prices and pollution low, and after the incident with its outdated nuclear power, they have a more intimate relationship with Electricity generation.
On the flipside, in Western countries, we have a lot of politicians leading the charge on all sorts of economic things, and a lot of politicians use Labour union leaders as their advisors.
Labour unions drive up the costs of things, as I pointed out earlier, and they’ve gotten used to doing this; a lot of leftists genuinely imagine economics and finances as overrated; you’ll often hear Left Wingers spewing out STOCK MARKET numbers to justify pay raises. The Stock market is booming, and the value of this company is in the billions, so it’s time we Labour unions ask for more money.
If you know anything about the stock market, you first and foremost know those values don’t represent STATIC profitability; one of the reasons you have so many private businesses lobbying the government is because if they don’t, another company will, and in the grand scheme of things, Left Wing politicians, do a better job writing legislation that benefits large corporations than Right Wing Conservative, Republicans, who are often responsible for cutting regulations.
Once you comprehend that dynamic, Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) starts to make a lot more sense. There’s no EV conspiracy, happening, it’s all about the money and PROTECTIONISM. If you’re in business in this era, you’d be stupid to ignore how corrupt modern-day elected officials are.
Industry shifts as demand stalls for electric vehicles

As I like to point out, we, the people, are 100% responsible for this madness because many of us want to defer to the “experts” who in the West are nothing more than glorified salespeople better known as politicians.
Under our current democratic systems, we’ve been convinced that the GOVERNMENT should control the weather. Have you seen the process of mining for lithium? Do you really think lithium is clean energy? Because it’s not, lithium is RENEWABLE energy, and there’s a huge difference. Lithium is very flammable, potentially more flammable than a propane tank.
And weather plays a huge part in how renewable lithium batteries are, with that said, a hybrid model, to me has always made sense, hybrid models tend to drive down costs, because hybrid energy models are INFINITE.
But the “Green New Deal,” the “green revolution,” is a wealth redistribution scheme; Elon Musk, way smarter than I’ll ever be, is a welfare, Billionaire.
Tesla, WITHOUT subsidies, is still not profitable, and Elon Musk, in case you’re forgetting, is a huge fan of CARBON TAXES, which obviously helps to enrich him. People keep pretending that Twitter is important to freedom. This is pure nonsense; nobody cares about Twitter except for the people making money from it.
Most of us are trying to defer our problems to these “experts.” Tesla created a large demand for EVs, but in case you’re not paying attention, the EV industry, on its own, isn’t attracting enough capital to build the infrastructure for its EVs.
This should have been the first sign that there is no EV revolution. Charging stations are EXPENSIVE and currently require diesel to speed up the charging process. All people involved in EVs know the weak points, and they’ve known them for over a decade now, so their strategy has always been to use government WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION to subsidize their failing EV businesses.
What’s happening now is that carbon taxes and carbon-based regulations are forcing consumer prices up, and because there’s no real demand for EVs, no sustainable or reliable EV jobs are being created to offset any of this.
There’s also no mechanism for EVs to drive down prices; the entire process of building and maintaining EVs is expensive and centralized because EVs rely on lithium, whereas Hybrids do not rely on ONE power source.
All of this should be common sense, with petroleum-powered automobiles which could still be replaced with ethanol, alcohol, and natural gas, and even those could become power sources for future hybrid models.
But you see, if that were to happen, Tesla and all of these government welfare-dependent business models would be at risk for failure and bankruptcy, so again, I have to remind people to get rid of all the noise and ask themselves if there ever was a huge GLOBAL demand for electric vehicles.
Interesting times ahead!
