And just like everything else, EVs are being pushed on people even though the infrastructure isn't ready, unlike petrol or diesel. The ethanol move seemed aimed at nudging folks toward electric cars, and this is just a follow‑up. It feels like a loophole for the rich - something like insider trading: an incentive, a motive, speeding up the process while insiders buy contracts, upgrade factories, or whatever they do.
I don't get who's making these policies these days. Every day a new one arrives without any proper thinking. They're forcing EVs while the infrastructure will just keep getting built. I'd like to hear from others how much pressure this will put on imports, given we don't produce batteries or even their raw materials at such a scale.
Good initiative to promote a greener future.
