Rivian stock hit the market at $78 per share on Nov. 9, 2021, in the largest initial public offering of the year and the seventh-largest U.S. IPO of all time

A $1,000 investment at the $78 opening share price would’ve given you 12.82 shares of Rivian stock. At the current price of $8.71 as of April 17, those shares would be worth just $111.66

RIVN is just one electric-vehicle company among many that are struggling. or example:

  • Tesla is down 15.08% in the last year and about 59% since November 2021
  • Nio is down 58.90% in the last year and about 90% since November 2021
  • Lucid is down 68.95% in the last year and about 95% since November 2021
  • Nikola is down 18.89% in the last year and about 93% since Nov. 2021

Maker of Electric-Vehicle Chargers Is in Serious Trouble​


  • Tritium Charging reveals in court filings that it is insolvent or is likely to become insolvent, and has appointed voluntary administrators from KPMG.
  • Tritium has provided some 13,000 chargers in 47 countries, making the potential of a production halt a serious dilemma for existing owners of chargers when it comes to parts and maintenance.
Tritium's stock price had effectively collapsed between August and October 2023, falling from the $300 mark to about $40 by late October. For most of March of 2024 it had been trading below the $20 level.

Ok kiddos...It's time for Environmental Class!!

YAY!!!!!

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.

To manufacture it you need:

--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore

You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:

-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt

To manufacture the battery also requires:

-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite

The Caterpillar 994A is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.

The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits the most.

The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:

Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)

It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced and you lose all your gains.

Also, these cars are incredibly heavy and TEAR UP ROADS!

And finally, consider the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to the U.S. sometimes back and forth a couple of times.

This is America! I fully support your right to buy whatever car you want.

If you want an electric car, get one.

Just don't sell me on how awesome you are for the environment. Or for human rights.

Class dismissed!

guess this explains why i haven't seen any....none have been built in 3 years (LOL)

Congress provided $7.5B for electric vehicle chargers. Built so far: Zero.​


Congress at the urging of the Biden administration agreed in 2021 to spend $7.5 billion to build tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers across the country, aiming to appease anxious drivers while tackling climate change.

Nearly three years later, the program has yet to install a single charger.
I'm sensing a pattern

McKinsey & Co.'s Mobility Consumer Pulse for 2024, released this month, found that 46% of EV owners in the U.S. said they were "very" likely to switch back to owning a gas-powered vehicle in their next purchase.
