This has become a common story in the metropolitan NYC region. Huge, difficult to extinguish fires and a number of deaths attributed to overnight charging of cheap “e-bikes”. They are omnipresent on streets and sidewalks. Used by delivery folks and gangs.

This seems bad:

“The recent figures are part of a trend of loss for Ford, with their Model e reporting a full-year EBIT loss of $4.7 billion on the sale of 116,000 units. This is an average loss of $40,525 per vehicle — and even that is just a third of the per-vehicle loss seen in the first three months of 2024.

Now, company officials are estimating that their EV division will lose a grand total of $5 billion this year, up from $4.7 billion last year.”

Reality biting for EVs ...

Half Of German E-Car Buyers Regret Their Purchase Or Lease!

Apparently German e-car owners are disappointed due especially to “rising electricity prices”.

Recently we reported here that the German e-car industry was “a crisis headed for a catastrophe” and that sales were plummeting.

Q1 2024, EV sales declined some 14.1% compared to Q1 of 2023.

Meanwhile sales of conventional engine cars have risen strongly over the same period. According to Blackout News, the share of electric cars sold from the entire automobile mix was just 12.2 percent. and new e-car registrations in the current year are “down significantly”.

Etc ....
