Somehow the old Soul Asylum song 'Passing Sad Daydream' sprung to mind when someone asked me what my dream Ev would be.
lyrics
[F(G)] My dream EV
Knows everything about me
My dream EV
[G(A)] Splits traffic seams
[F(G)] My dream EV
Parts traffic like the red sea
My dream EV
Is green
Chorus
[Bb(C)] Ford Focus Electric discontinued in 2018
[C(D)] Smart fortwo discontinued in the US 2019
[D(E)] Worldwide gone in 2020
[G(A)] Here I am looking down the end of 2021
And a depleted EV fund
For a Mustang Mach-E or something
equally convertible and green
[F(G)] Yeah there is an infrastructure bill with billions of promises of more charging stations
Except that flows through the states [G(A)] where there are contrary administrations
[F(G)] I don't feel like charging is going to get any better before our next driving vacation
The route from here lets it bleed [G(A)] so its gonna be what its gonna be
[Dm(Em)] So there goes my passing sad dream EV
Between a chip shortage and a lithium
Shortage and a budget I can't reach
Repeat chorus
[Dm(Em)] So there goes my passing sad dream EV
Between angry luddites
And wall market short selling types
