Republicans and the EV Debate: From Party of Intellect to Road of Reckless Reasoning?

Are the Republicans still the party of intellect? John and Andy address this question by delving into the EV controversy and its evolution into a left-versus-right issue. John critiques an interview by someone on the right who claims to be an automotive expert. This conversation highlights how some Republicans have joined the road of reckless reasoning.

The conversation quickly shifts from politics into a rapid-fire showdown on EV myths. What’s the real cost to charge at home, and why do owners say they barely touch their brakes? Are the batteries fragile or built to last 200,000 miles? Could a $25,000 EV actually out-accelerate a high-performance gas car, even at 11,000 feet?

From one-pedal driving that feels futuristic to surprising truths about maintenance, resale, and winter performance, caller Rand pushes for answers, and John delivers insider details you won’t hear anywhere else.

Before you dismiss EVs—or the conversation around them—listen in and ask yourself: are you sure you know what you’re missing?
