Sure, but the article is claiming EV’s are now as cheap as ICE, which isn’t the case. The price parity is a result of subsidies and mandates. In Calif. we reached price “parity” a long time ago.

The price parity only due to regulations requiring minimum percentage of new cars to be zero or low emission.

Republicans have a 2024 platform. You can Google it.

While I know things are generally more expensive in Switzerland, $685,000 is crazy expensive for just 18 kW (48 panels).

Sorry, but it is mainly Biden’s policies. The administration has largely ignored white collar crime, especially when it comes to things like price collusion, antitrust, etc.

Case in point: the DOJ lawsuit against RealPage software (which landlords were using to collude on apartment prices). The company was engaged in extremely serious criminal activity, but the DOJ did not file any criminal charges.

Not mentioned in the article is that these systems are still illegal in the US.

It is actually much worse than that. The problem they are having is that street-running LRT trains get stuck in traffic, causing bunching and other scheduling issues. The obvious solution is to get cars completely out of the way of the trains. But despite an official “transit first” policy, the SFMTA won’t do that. So instead they will spend >$100 million on a new signal system, which will map train locations in real-time simply to tell dispatchers what they already know – that the trains are stuck in traffic.
