One of the best bands you'll ever come across.... I'm only really getting in this one now but every record they released is rich with complex song-writing and bears repeated listening.

I find it very hard to understand this obsession with fossil fuels. I mean people switched to smartphones without much argument. An EV is just a smartphone on wheels in a lot of ways. EV prices must come down and range must come up. I think those two things will be key to the ultimate transition.
Very glad to hear it! Here in South Africa we haven't seen shortages but the prices are going to go through the roof come month end. We only have one truly affordable EV on the market, sad to say. This country is an EV desert but you do see them. Mostly the Mini electric.
I think the new wave of EVs will change a lot of thinking. The new battery tech coming out now address a lot of the chief concerns, namely range, time to charge, etc. The people who don't have garages will also need convincing. But these batteries are a major leap forward.
Well, I spend a great deal of time trying to do that but somehow it doesn't want to take...
Wouldn't buy one myself.... but we talking about the average joe here who is chiefly interested in getting good mileage without running out of juice. What amazed me is the hybrid engine was around for decades and ignored by many until EVs came along and now suddenly everyone loves it.
Yeah.... but to what extent? Some will move to hybrids for sure. But how many will move to EVs because of this? I wonder about myself. The battery technology advancements are mostly coming from China and companies like BYD now and Americans don't have access to that.
