Car Radio 910AM-Detroit: Podcast, December 18, 2025

Host: Henry Payne, Auto columnist, The Detroit News

The gas bags are out, gas cars are back in. For years we heard it from elites: EVs were the future. The EPA, The New York Times, Jennifer Granholm, Will Ferrel, automotive media – they told us in unison that the world was going electric and, if the US didn’t follow, it would be left behind. EVs were inevitable. Until they weren’t. What elites forgot was the US became the world’s richest economy– not by following the rest of the planet’s socialist lemmings over a cliff – but by giving consumers choice in a free market. In 2025, EV demand waned. It’s not that shoppers don’t like EVs, they just like gas cars better. 2 min. Originally aired December 18, 2025 on the Auto Report, 910AM-Detroit WFDF
