The government and the Department of Energy colluded to rig estimated gas mileage from EVs to look 7 times more efficient than gas powered cars - but they're not! This is a cheating scandal the government has created to push electric cars and lie to consumers. This is illegal because without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable. Consumers were scammed with their tax dollars.

Credit to the #wallstreetjournal for breaking this story: Under an Energy Department rule, carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of electric cars by 6.67. This means that although a 2022 Tesla Model Y tests at the equivalent of about 65 miles per gallon in a laboratory (roughly the same as a hybrid), it is counted as having an absurdly high compliance value of 430 mpg. That number has no basis in reality.

DC regulators kept a special EV subsidy related to this, a secret. Regulators could announce what sounded like stringent targets, and carmakers would nod along, knowing they could comply by making electric cars with arbitrarily boosted compliance values. Consumers would unknowingly foot the bill and the headaches.

Now, the secret is out! After environmental groups pointed out the illegality of this charade, the Energy Department proposed eliminating the 6.67 efficiency multiplier for electric cars, recognizing that the number “lacks legal support,” and has “no basis.” Let’s not mince words -- this has a direct impact on a subsidy that indirectly and illegally taxes YOU, the people. Your taxes dollars are going directly into the pockets of these corporations for falsely complying arbitrarily set standards. Remember, you are the one paying for these subsidies.

Carmakers have panicked and asked the administration to delay any return to legal or engineering reality. Without the multiplier, the Transportation Department’s proposed rules are completely unattainable.

The Journal noted this scandal is buried deep in the Federal Register—on page 36,987 of volume 65. Since the tax credits “lack legal support,” and have “no basis”, all the beneficiaries should have to return their illegal gains.

The biggest beneficiary is Tesla. This is where Tesla makes its profits. They sell the carbon credits to other brands that don’t make and sell enough EVs to meet the EPA standards. All other brands lose money on each electric vehicle.

It’s not known who exactly bought the credits and for how much, but they are sold to other car companies that missed out on emissions standards of the #california Air Resources Board.

Just to be clear, this is wrong morally, and likely is illegal if challenged in court. This is a massive scandal reminiscent of the diesel-emissions cheating that rocked #germany automakers.

This was the governments way of getting automakers on boards with EVs. Forcing them into compliance. Now the government is going to remove this EV factor and implode automakers because they will not be able to comply with the EPA's regulations.

This inflated figure is not simply a boastful statistic. It serves as a conduit for carmakers to accumulate compliance credits, which can then be traded for cash. This issue remained largely invisible to the public eye until recently, when environmental groups brought its illegality into the spotlight.

The whole Carbon Credit scam was not created for Tesla, it was created to get consumers to buy electric vehicles. The timing of this revelation is suspicious. Suddenly the government is not a fan of Elon Musk, is this a coincidence, we shall see.

So who actually knew about this? The government must have known when they created the program, did car manufacturers know about the scam too? It's the old question: what did they know and when did they know it. Watch the Tort bar, I’m sure they are already on this scam. They'll have a field day with this because there are lots of big pockets to dip into.

Did you buy an electric car? Next you’ll be hearing commercials about class action law suits.
