Three things are certain:

1. Enormous amounts of money are being invested and it is no secret. And invested by smart people. And likely all of the major players have already told us how their R&D $$$pends are evolving...

Many of these players have recognized (and disclosed in one way or another) for a while that they are facing existential threats, and there is massive scrambling going on

2. The economic world involved with ICE machines already ion service will change... this will likely effect ICE disposables (like fuel and oil and even things like spark plugs) and spares (as in parts) and as that demand goes down, availability will too and ... prices will go up??

I predict by 2022 a sharp high schooler can predict those curves...

3. The future value of my '75 911 will be affected by whether folks have interest in paying for it... if it costs 2-3x more $$ to run in five years... well maybe it should get an electric drive train. WHo are these folks... tail end of baby boomers? I reckon not.
