Delving into electric vehicles

What the Democrat politicians and your car manufacturers are not making known to everyone are the facts about owning an electric auto.

Did you know the maximum travel of an electric auto is around 260-300 miles per charge? That only exists if your auto has permanent magnets made from neodymium oxide in the motor. And this material is controlled and sold 90% by China. Is this starting to make sense?

Without a better source the United States would be left with a limited supply or source to furnish this oxide or magnets for electric autos to operate.

The lithium batteries, which are needed for the electric autos to function, are considered flammable and dangerous! And very expensive when replacing — $5,000. Before you buy an electric auto $50,000 and up, be sure you are aware of all the facts concerning the above electric autos and buy a gas auto of your choice with no hidden agenda or any outrageous repair costs. You will be glad you did.
