My most climate Stalin take is that I still maintain that anything less than reducing private automobile use by at least 90% in 20 years is utterly unserious nonsense. You may claim that that will completely throw lives into disarray but again, peoples lives Not being thrown into disarray is out of the question now. Long term viability should take total priority over short-term comfort in planning these things
#Yes electric vehicles are included in this policy they are nearly as bad for the environment as internal combustion vehicles#Hell a coal-powered train is better for the environment than individual electric vehicles carrying the same number of passengers

Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:
The Kamala Harris campaign seized on a comment earlier this week from Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance deriding efforts to retool a Michigan auto plant as mere “table scraps.” “Apparently 650 families’ livelihood is just ‘table scraps’ there,” said Gene Sperling, an economic advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris, in a video conference call with reporters on Thursday. On Tuesday, Vance attacked a program that would spend $500 million to help overhaul a Lansing, Michigan, auto plant that used to produce Chevrolet Camaros so that it can instead build electric vehicles.
“What we’ve said is that Kamala Harris is offering table scraps. Five-hundred million dollars when you have an EV mandate that’s going to cost 117,000 autoworker jobs,” Vance said, citing figures from a study by the America First Policy Institute, a think tank staffed by several prominent Trump administration alumni. “I think that Michigan autoworkers deserve more than the table scraps of Kamala Harris’s Green New Deal,” he added. The $500 million grant would be part of a larger $1.7 billion program aimed at revamping 11 auto plants to make electric cars or components of them as part of the Joe Biden administration’s effort to speed up the conversion of Americans’ internal combustion-powered cars to more efficient and reliable electric ones. Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers, also criticized Vance’s remarks. “It’s going to secure us 650 jobs,” Fain said, citing a GM estimate that 650 jobs would be saved. “Vance refuses to commit to the funding and what his offer would be to workers because their offer is nothing.”
The Harris campaign calls out JD Vance’s disingenuous “table scraps” attack against the retooling of the Lansing, MI General Motors (GM) plant to produce electric vehicles.

Republicans on the House Budget Committee offered a preview Wednesday of the programs they're looking to cut or overhaul as part of any agreement to lift the debt ceiling, a target list that includes food aid for low-income families, climate justice and electric vehicle funding, student debt relief, and Affordable Care Act subsidies.
The proposed cuts were outlined in a press release issued by Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), the chair of the House Budget Committee.
In total, Arrington put forth roughly $780 billion in proposed spending cuts, nearly half of which would come from reversing President Joe Biden's student debt cancellation—a plan that is currently blocked pending a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Notably absent from the House GOP's outline was any mention of the U.S. military budget, which currently represents more than half of the federal government's discretionary spending and is a hotbed of the kind of waste and fraud that Republicans claim to oppose.
At $858 billion, the fiscal year 2023 military budget alone is larger than the $780 billion in cuts Arrington has floated.
Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said in a statement to Bloomberg that the GOP's proposed spending cuts are a needless attack on the vulnerable.
Experts have repeatedly warned that more stringent income verification and work requirements for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, for instance, would result in food aid cuts for many needy families.
"Why is it that whenever tough choices are required, Republicans want working families and children to make the sacrifice?" Boyle asked. "Why not keep our children fed and families healthy, and instead work with Democrats to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes?"
Arrington's recommendations come as the GOP is facing growing backlash over its efforts to use the debt ceiling—and the looming possibility of a U.S. default—as leverage to pursue steep spending cuts, something the party has done to disastrous effect in the past.
Advocacy groups and analysts were quick to assail Arrington's proposals.
The Debt Collective, an organization that supports student debt cancellation, wrote on Twitter that "it doesn't 'cost' $379 billion to cancel $379 billion of student debt."
"It's pure fiction to think that killing cancellation will mean the [Department of Education] will collect $379 billion," the group added. "Even the Federal Reserve knows there will be record defaults."
Krutika Amin, associate director of the Kaiser Family Foundation, noted that the GOP proposal to cap Affordable Care Act subsidies at 400% of the federal poverty line "would mean middle-income people pay more for coverage."
"A 60-year-old making $55,000 in 2023 pays 8.5% of their income on a silver plan," Amin observed. "Without subsidies, they would pay over 20% of their income on average."

What is the Average EV Range in 2024?
As we move into 2024, electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer just for early adopters. They’re becoming a common sight on the roads, thanks to advancements in battery technology that have boosted their range. The average EV today can go anywhere between 300 to 400 kilometers (186 to 248 miles) on a single charge, with some premium models going well beyond that.
High-Range EVs in India
In India, we’re seeing some exciting developments in the EV space, with both upcoming and current models pushing the limits of range:
BYD eMAX 7: Set to launch in October 2024, it’s expected to offer a range of around 500 kilometers.
Mercedes-Benz EQS: This luxury option tops the charts with an impressive 770 kilometers of range.
Tata Avinya: Coming in 2026, it's expected to provide about 500 kilometers of range, catering to the demand for long-range EVs.
Hyundai Ioniq 6: Expected to offer a range of up to 614 kilometers, showing Hyundai’s commitment to electric mobility.
With these impressive ranges, managing charging stations becomes more important. That’s where tools like Tecell’s charging management software come in handy. Tecell makes it easy to manage charging stations, providing access to EV drivers with flexible pricing models.

This surge is not only transforming how people commute but also creating opportunities for local manufacturers. Let’s delve into the factors propelling the growth of e-rickshaw manufacturing in Bihar.
1. Government Incentives and Policies
The Bihar government has been instrumental in fostering the growth of the e-rickshaw manufacturing sector. By introducing a range of incentives and subsidies, including financial support for purchasing e-rickshaws and exemptions from registration fees and road taxes, the state has made it easier for both manufacturers and buyers to invest in electric vehicles. These policies have significantly reduced the financial barriers to entry, encouraging more local businesses to enter the e-rickshaw manufacturing company in Bihar.
