Electric vehicles are 'direct wealth transfer' from owners of gas-powered vehicles to EV owners, experts say


One expert said 'all or nothing' EV push is 'one of the biggest energy policy blunders we've ever made'




Energy experts are warning about numerous potential issues for electric vehicles, including affordability, range, weather, infrastructure and economic concerns, even as the government and car companies increasingly push them on Americans.


Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer and host of the podcast "The Wright Report," told Fox News Digital that American society has shifted to EVs largely because some people are "just so hellbent on making sure that this transition happens, even if that means wrecking the economy, in terms of electricity, its reliability, the grid, getting brownouts or blackouts or economic wreckage by people who otherwise can't afford these new vehicles."

"That cost is being shouldered by buyers and car companies by raising the price of gas-powered vehicles, [which] is basically just a direct wealth transfer, just paying for EV subsidies and that will grow over time, if we continue to keep this regime in place," Brent Bennett, a policy director for Lifeowered, an initiative of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, told Fox News Digital.

Remember the term “killer app”? It was the feature in a new technology SO COMPELLING that just to stay even with competitors - you needed to adopt it.

Simple desktop computers replaced typewriters. The killer app? Word processing software. Ditto spreadsheets. Prior to Lotus 123 and Excel - people used ACTUAL sheets of paper.

Then therr came McIntosh with its GUI interface. Desktop publishing. You didn’t need a fancy print shop.

On and on. Electronic devices replaced mechanical ones in cars - because they were CHEAPER. Cars themselves were a risk, until mass production made them cheap enough for everyone.

You want people to buy EVs? Create the killer app. Make the purchase so compelling they will line up to try it.

I think the killer app for EVs is self driving, but that's turning out to be very problematic and not being embraced yet.

You longer need to purchase gasoline

BFHD. Instead of filling up with gas, you spend HOURS for a full recharge. I just don’t see EVs as the green solution.

Years ago I saw a concept car that just ran on compressed AIR. Two massive tanks beneath the car and it ran literally on AIR.

Granted you would also have a time refilling the tank but it’s an ICE alternative that isn’t an EV.
