I didn't mean now. I meant as a civilization we are switching. So in about 20-30 years the majority of cars will be EV until we find another better solution.
Owning a car is expensive to be honest. Eventually, I think most people will not be owners as we might shift more to 'renting' cars. That model already works in most big cities and is actually very convenient.
Anyway, EV is the future and we will get there eventually. That transition started so the better we can all get there the better we can all be.
Also, the tech advances super fast now so imagine where the tech will be in 10-20 years
Can’t argue with these types Frieda as their basic premises are flawed.
They act like there are immutable laws of nature that
a) constrain power generation to what we have now,
b) similarly prevent expanding charging station networks,
c) require batteries will have to be changed every couple years for tens of thousands of dollars,
d) batteries aren’t recyclable and will go in the curb trash like the flashlight batteries the toss in today,
e) everything has to happen all at once,
f) scale effects and competition won’t reduce prices,
g) similarly more investment faster into battery chemistry, manufacturing and recycling improvements, is pointless
h) new generation can’t be nuke, or more efficient carbon based generation replacing less efficient versions or home solar,
i) the deny, doubt, delay FUD they shovel today is different and not related in goal to the old FUD, and the incumbent interests, who have benefited from it,
j) infrastructure investments can’t be built in a day,
k) it’s all bird-killing burning windmills in a plot to control society.
There’s just a basic ignorance of how things get done, replaced with tribal thinking, mixed with fear of the new and the other, and loathing of folks trying to solve legacy problems become existential.
