The weight put behind the electric vehicle phenomena has exploded in the last few years, specifically under the Biden Administration. In the 'name of the climate crisis,' Biden has put in numerous mandates and tax credits to make buying electric enticing. Mostly all to appear his pink-haired base, that screams about gasoline causing warm temperatures in the summer.

It has almost felt like, to an extent, the government has been trying to choose vehicles for Americans. Which would be a dangerous precedent to set. Of course, you still have free will to buy whatever you want. But if Biden had his way, everyone would be in electric vehicles right now.

Carson Clayton of the Texas Public Policy Foundation says Biden's EV mandates and tax credits have gone over like a lead balloon, and with Trump returning, they will not be around much longer.

"He says he wants to get rid of that and he might be able too, but it will require an act of Congress, so hopefully they can get rid of that," he says.

Biden has offered $7,500 tax credits to people who buy EV's, which has mostly fallen flat. Minus a few people who decided to buy them. But even people like Elon Musk, who owns one of the biggest EV car companies in the world, is in favor of getting rid of the mandates and credits. Part of that though is self-preservation, as it would make his competitors falter a bit.

But beyond just forcing something people do not want down their throat, the mandate is just not practical.

"Manufacturers are building as many as they can to avoid the rising penalties under Biden...they are building more and losing money on them...they are not very profitable," he says.

However, there are the Democrats, still pushing this ridiculous idea that going all electric will somehow save the planet and make everyone happy. But, simply put, no one wants to pay more for a vehicle they find less reliable.

So, in the end, all the EV's produce is a bunch of white noise.

"The infrastructure is not there, we are just not prepared to roll out EV's like this...not only are they extremely expensive, but they are also not nearly as convenient as gasoline vehicles," says Clayton.

Who knows what will happen to the push now that Trump is returning to office. But it appears gas cars are here to stay for quite some time.
