With coal-powered EVs being shoved down everyones throat despite the lack of back-end production for raw material existing and an administration that sh*ts on the very producers of those raw materials, as well as an overall lack of charging infrastructure...

Just give me a plug-in hybrid. That's affordable.

I don't need a backup camera. I don't need a giant screen. The Japanese domestic market can somehow produce barebone vehicles like this for the current model year in Japan but Americans apparently need bells and whistles?

I don't want it to look stupid; something that took about five generations of Prius for Toyota to ALMOST figure out (the taillights are atrocious on the new Prius, Toyota needs to fix that and drop the "Prius" brand due to its connotation with overall lameness). EVs and plug in hybrid designers and their out of touch handlers just CANT HELP THEMSELVES and add weird and goofy little plastic trim pieces, strange dimensions (Wth is the Chevy Bolt?) and overall...

Cummins, maker of the 6.7L ISB Turbo inline-six that goes into Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty pickup trucks, was fined US $1.675 billion (~€1.519 , CAD $2.225 billion with a b) as part of a settlement by the US DOJ. Affects model years 2013 through 2023 although the defeat devices only affected up through 2019. After that they were fitted with, and this is my favorite, "undisclosed auxiliary emission control devices". This affects about 960,000 diesel engines.

Wonder how that money will be used? Wonder how the states will react? Last time New York State gave out up to $2,000 rebates for purchasing PHEVs and EVs from the VW Dieselgate settlement. I believe that rebate still exists.
