Thank you.
Without a massive, and I mean massive, upgrade to power grids around the globe, in production, transmission and reliability, EVs will be a niche player.
Logistics is everything: Where is the power coming from?
Then there is pollution, and not just in the massive increase in power generation and transmission, but in the mining of the elements that make EV possible. NIMBY is going to play a role.
BTW, I would own an EV if it made sense where I live. I have no antipathy towards EV, but I am a realist when it comes to large scale transportation realities.
