Electric Vehicle





So today, a day that saw most of my offices closed due to bitter cold, the company sends out an email saying that it will convert the remaining 3500 non-EV fleet vehicles to EV by year end. Given the issues batteries have with cold weather, it could not have been a more tone deaf announcement.

So far, they have deployed 1500. More than 2x that in less than a year? Not going to happen.

All of this to reach an arbitrary deadline...like Biden's disastrous retreat from Afghanistan. This will be a disaster as well.

Check out all the reported issues on the EV group on Workplace. They're even forcing EVs on people who live in highrises with no way to charge at home!

Someone is going to get hurt. Via an EV fire, getting stranded on the road or stuck at a charger and assaulted, etc. When it does, I hope some attorney takes the case.

Utter madness.

Preach my friend and I totally agree!
 








Our apologies for the displeasure, dissatisfaction, and disappointment you have with our EV initiative. However, we do not base our decisions on anonymous idiots’ incessant complaints on the internet.

This is true. The idiots you base your decisions on are not anonymous. They are out in front for everyone to see.
 




The Need for Economic and Environmental Revolution is here! We must wake up, folks!!
"If you look at the world's 12 most influential companies, they have a combined revenue of about $45 trillion [€41.3 trillion], which is 42 per cent of global GDP,” Gerbrand Haverkamp, executive director of the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA), tells Euronews Green.

“They probably have about 1 billion people working in their supply chain. So we're talking about companies with an enormous influence. They have carbon emission footprints that exceed those of many countries.”
 








Amazing how Joris, Pascal and others will fall on this sword no matter what. Wonder if they know how much they are being ridiculed? Doesn't say too much for a leadership team that will not look at the facts.
 
















Science Does Matter:
The IPCC’s latest finding indicate that 1.5°C warming from pre-industrial times will be reached or exceeded in the early 2030s regardless of the emissions path taken, while current climate model simulations suggest that temperature could be reached as early as 2026-2029! (Tebaldi et al., 2021). Scientists are warning that we have already passed several key climate tipping points and are dangerously close to reaching others.(Lenton et al, Nature 2019). According to peer-reviewed science, the implications of going beyond 1.5°C include : ● rising threats to global food security,arising from multiple, simultaneous bread basket failure ● vast regions of the world will be too hot to live in, including the tropics, home to 40% of the world’s population ● critical tipping points in the climate system will be crossed, potentially leading to a “hothouse earth".
There is no other choice but to radically reduce our carbon emissions.
Thank You, AZ employees worldwide

Are you referring to the “idiots” who tell you what to do? What does that make you? Guarantee that you will not speak a word of disdain when it’s time to accept your vehicle, internet gang member.
