The large manufacturers of cars are just coming online with vehicles intented for scale. EVs will be cheaper than IC equivalents in a decade.

The future of automobiles is electric. It has already been decided. The infrastructure will be forced to adapt. The time line is being written but tradjectory is set.

Electrification is well under way in nearly every other faster moving industry. This feels a bit like Deja Vu when top performance RC went from nitro fuel and then lithum / brushless. Battery powered hand tools have all but replaced pneumatic. Battery powered lawn tools are better than gas for people with median sized yards.
yup.

as i said before, we are going to switch to EVs. not because they are cleaner, or cheaper or whatever ... we are going to switch to them because they are better. the model 3 performance pack is a better car than cars double the price. its that simple. its just better.
