Fox News OpEd: My EV Rental Debacle Shows the Market Isn’t Ready for Prime Time
It’s time meddling politicians embrace reality and roll back dangerous EV mandates
There I was, sitting in a hotel parking lot with 27 minutes before my speaking engagement in front of 700 people, including 500 CEOs. The digital screen of my electric vehicle blinked the time before a charged battery.
Nearly seven hours.
The sight hit me like a freight train – I was going to miss my talk.
I was scheduled to speak at Liberty University alongside my former boss, Linda McMahon, one of America’s most brilliant female entrepreneurs. But an untruthful Chevy Bolt EV odometer hijacked my plans.
Women, in particular, should know EVs’ risks, since we are physically more vulnerable than men.
Sure, gas-powered cars have fuel and battery problems, but Consumer Reports recently reported electric vehicles suffer nearly 80% more problems than gas-powered cars, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) bring 150% more problems.
Because of my EV nightmare racing to find EV chargers, I missed speaking at a conference of ~700 people. I’m not anti-EV but oppose irrational government dictates. The EV market is not ready for prime time. It’s time meddling politicians embrace reality and roll back dangerous EV mandates.
