A couple weeks ago, we had a thread here discussing EV fires. Examples included:

• << 3 videos -- brand new Ford EV trucks burning, Mercedes EV fire damaged a Florida home, & Mercedes EV van bursts into thermal runaway
• << 5 photos EV fires leaving behind only charred skeletons: Ford Truck, Mercedes EV car & EV van, 2 Teslas,
• << 3 critical reports titled: Exploding Electric Vehicles Are Unsafe At Any Speed,   Reality Check--The Inevitable EV Implosion, &   Electric car battery fires burn hotter

News reports now are pointing to the political entanglements of EV’s.

Its no surprise that the Auto Workers (AWU) have their differences with Repubs & Trump, but there’s now harsh relations with the Biden administration. The union members are well aware the EV’s being pushed by Biden will need thousands fewer auto workers--which means large layoffs are down the road. And those workers also hate the idea of mandates requiring them to purchase such expensive vehicles.

Thus, when Biden joined the union picket line, the underlying resentment and distrust was also being felt.

Of course the Dems are always hoping for election support and endorsements from the labor unions. Yet some reports indicate the union bosses have not yet done so. Seems support is weakening

Here’s another political gripe among auto workers. Congress has voted for significant funding subsidies of $ 2.8 billion to help build new EV battery factories. And most of these factories are expected to be located in right-to-work states, employing non-union workers.  Unions resent this

Across the aisle, congressional conservatives are raising objections with automakers who are partnering with Chinese companies for building those EV batteries. Seems that China is well known for stealing western technology, in so many cases.

Then there’s been a recent announcement that FORD is shutting down construction of its new $3.5 billion EV battery plant. Report titled: Ford Gets Cold Feet, Pulls Plug on Multibillion-Dollar China-Backed EV Battery Plant   Click Here 

This new Michigan battery plant was projected to provide 2,500 new jobs and was supported by a $1 billion subsidy grant from that state.   House Republicans wrote a letter earlier in September to Ford CEO Jim Farley blasting the partnership with China.

Also there’s been many reports that FORD is expecting to lose $4.5 billion on its unsold EV’s this year.  Buyers are scarce, and are reluctant.

YES, it’s a maze of political entanglements with EV’s.  Stay tuned, as there’s more politics emerging with EV’s.

How many of those workers demands, like 4 day work-week, 40% cost of living increase, etc. do you hope will occur? All, none, few??   Seems those very excessive demands need some watering down
