By\u00a0Duggan Flanakin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When auto (even EV driving) enthusiast Rowan Atkinson \u2013 Mr. Bean to his fans \u2013 last June wrote in The Guardian<\/em> that there are \u201csound environmental reasons\u201d why \u201ckeeping your old petrol car may be better than buying an EV,\u201d he was vilified as a eco-traitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atkinson had added, \u201cWe\u2019re realizing that a wider range of options need to be explored if we\u2019re going to properly address the very serious environmental problems that our use of the motor car has created.\u201d These include, he said, hydrogen fuel cells and synthetic fuels that would extend the lives of older vehicles long after governments are demanding they be scrapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atkinson, who has a bachelor\u2019s in electrical and electronic engineering and a master\u2019s in control systems, urged Britons to \u201clook at a bigger picture\u201d to include greenhouse gas emissions during the manufacture of electric vehicles and to evaluate the whole life cycle of motor vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relying on a dash of common sense, Atkinson noted that pushing so heavily so soon for EVs that have major flaws will result in \u201cmillions of overweight electric cars with rapidly obsolescing batteries.\u201d Technologic developments with hydrogen and synthetic fuels, which can power existing internal combustion engines, may prove a better long-term solution. For one reason, the owners of the world\u2019s 1.5 billion ICE vehicles could continue enjoying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For sharing his insights, Atkinson was immediately smacked around by snarky reporters and EV \u201cexperts.\u201d Simon Evans, deputy editor at Carbon Brief<\/em>, slammed Atkinson for not adhering to Carbon Brief\u2019s<\/em> own \u201cevidence\u201d from years back stating that EVs cut \u201cplanet-warming emissions\u201d by two-thirds on a life cycle basis and calling EVs \u201can essential part of tackling the climate emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How dare he?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Coren<\/a>, writing in the Washington Post<\/em>, portrayed Atkinson as an iconoclast clinging to his petrol car, lampooned hydrogen and synthetic fuels as expensive and impractical, and compared ICE vehicles to hobby horses. Coren argued that \u201cmaking every car burn [hydrogen] is not a good idea,\u201d yet implied that forcing every driver to buy an EV is a very good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight months later, though, the detractors who had hoped to make Atkinson an example of a troglodyte were singing a different tune, in the wake of a collapse in the British EV market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Bean was condemned<\/a> in the House of Lords by the Green Alliance as \u201cpartly at fault for \u2018damaging\u2019 public perceptions\u201d of EVs and as a dangerous enemy of Britain\u2019s drive to Net Zero. The Guardian,<\/em> which published Atkinson\u2019s tome, was accused indirectly of failing to adhere to \u201chigh editorial standards around the Net Zero transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Translation: ONLY glowing reports on EVs are acceptable public speech.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It couldn\u2019t have been the exorbitant cost of auto insurance<\/a> for EVs, their tendency to catch fire<\/a> and burn for days, or the high cost and long wait times for parts and repairs<\/a> \u2013 or the long waits<\/a> at charging stations to plug in and wait for enough charge at least to reach the next destination. Nor could it be that people are uncomfortable enriching China<\/a> as their own auto companies face bankruptcy?  No \u2013 it was allowing someone to publicly question the rush to electrification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halfway around the world<\/a>, Toyota, which \u201clagged behind\u201d its major competitors in ditching their ICE vehicle fleets for all-EV production lines, \u201cis riding a windfall of hybrid vehicle sales on its way to posting projected net profits of more than $30  billion.\u201d While Ford lost $4.7 billion trying to create an EV market, dropping its net profit to just $4.2 billion, Toyota now appears to be in better financial shape than its American and European competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a year ago, then-Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda had cautioned<\/a> that the EV transition would \u201ctake longer than the media would like us to believe.\u201d Ford, GM, Stellantis, and many other automakers worldwide played nice with the political and financial giants while Toyota\u2019s management stepped away from the rhetoric, looked at the numbers, and chose a commonsense approach to the evolving world auto marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company did sell 15,000 pure EVs in the U.S. in 2023, but they also sold 40,000 plug-in hybrids and more than 600,000 non-rechargeable hybrids out of total U.S. sales<\/a> of 2,248,477 vehicles, a 6% increase from 2022 levels. Ford fell short of its goal to produce 300,000 EVs a year by 2023 and has revised its earlier forecast of 2 million EVs by 2026. Worse, Ford now expects to lose as much as $5.5 billion on EVs in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over in Europe, Volvo just announced<\/a> it is withdrawing support for its marquee electric vehicle Polestar and hopes to sell its 48% stake, possibly to a Chinese buyer. Just days earlier, Polestar had cut 450 jobs, about 15% of its workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere in Europe, EV sales are expected to decline in 2024 in Germany, Europe\u2019s largest auto market, and Renault just scrapped plans to spin off its Ampere EVs, blaming a lack of interest from investors and a slowdown in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EV sales in the United Kingdom also flatlined in 2023, prices for used EVs fell sharply, raising questions about their residual value. Even EV-friendly Switzerland admits<\/a> it will take at least 20 years to fully electrify its fleet; while EVs and hybrids today comprise about 30% of Swiss new car sales, these vehicles amount to less than 4% of the total national fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas companies are getting the message, too. BP, which once billed itself as \u201cBeyond Petroleum,\u201d has been encouraged by an activist investor<\/a> to reduce its investments in renewables and recommit to oil and gas. A major reason \u2013 oil and gas investments in recent years have boomed while investments in renewables have faltered. Bluebell Capital Partners asserted that BP\u2019s commitment to renewable has left its stock price undervalued by 50% compared to ExxonMobil and Chevron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden\u2019s demand that the U.S. comply with his EV mandates was dealt a major blow last month, when auto rental giant Hertz, heretofore the nation\u2019s largest fleet operator of electric vehicles, announced it was selling<\/a> all 20,000 of its EVs and not buying any more. The company cited high repair costs and weak demand for EV rentals. Karl Bauer of iSeeCars.com, noting that mainstream consumers were already hesitant to buy and EV, said \u201cthe larger impact of the Hertz EV fire sale is the perception hit<\/em> to the technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fictional Mr. Bean is known (and revered) for<\/a> his original and often absurd solutions to problems and his total disregard for others while solving them, and for his pettiness and occasional malevolence. Had the British press mocked Mr. Atkinson for a Bean-like performance, the climate emergency propagandists might have laughed him off successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they are not able to laugh without derision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real Mr. Atkinson, like the decision makers at Toyota, is espousing commonsense wisdom such as \u201cdon\u2019t put all of your eggs in one basket.\u201d Extending the lifespan of existing vehicles, even with currently high-cost hydrogen or synthetic fuels, is far better for the environment than junking them for electric vehicles that require diesel fuel<\/a> to power charging stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, as we are told, EV batteries will soon be smaller, cheaper, and stronger, that day has not yet come. Just as likely, the cost of hydrogen and synthetics will also drop significantly, and those fuels can power existing ICE vehicles. Most of all, if there truly was a \u201cclimate emergency,\u201d diplomats would be quicker to end military conflicts and ending the rush by China and India to build more and more coal-fired power plants (needed, of course, to charge EV batteries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Mr. Bean and Toyota are truly saying to the world is that mandates \u2013 government deciding what can and cannot go to market \u2013 and the huge subsidies that go along with them (which would be unnecessary in a true emergency) are at war with the wisdom of the market, which relies on true public opinion as to what is best for the consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
