I dunno, but it's a bitch finding whale oil these days.

Many companies are genuinely concerned about stranded assets.

Personally, I think it will be a shift that takes probably the better part of a century for EVs to supplant fossil fuel vehicles.
I'm 45 years old now, and I don't really expect I'll live long enough to see the end of gas stations, though I do think I'll see plenty of electrification. Barring some major technological breakthroughs in electrical power storage that massively cuts the cost, the transition for everything that runs on fossil fuels to electric will take a very very long time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Okay, I realize gas & diesel infrastructure encompasses a lot more than gas stations, but that's primarily what the question is about. Next to nobody lights their home with oil lamps and lamp oil. I can still buy lamp oil. It's more expensive than it used to be, but I can. If .gov ever does hard push EVs, I think that will be one of the tools they use. A combination of pain in the ass restrictions and increasing expense to continue to use. They will then apply time. It's their general method of controlling anything without a direct ban. |

Barring some revolutionary battery tech... it won't happen.

Until they force you, why would anyone buy one knowing the left wants you too? I wouldn't help them out.

I imagine they'll have a shortage of battery materials long before electric cars are a majority on the road.
If for some reason battery powered cars don't hit the brick wall and I can't get gas and parts for my 2001 crv or 2005 tahoe I'll buy a battery pack to put in the back and rebuilt an old 2000s Tesla motor install that shit myself. By that time there will be plenty of aftermarket battery/motor kits with speed controllers ect. Probably find some pretty cheap. I'm not against switching. I'm against buying a 60k new car every few years that tracks my movement that some asshole can shut off with wifi. When it become realistic to do my own work and refurb older cars with electric for cheap I'll do so. Hopefully by then battery systems will be like 5k and last at least 200k miles. |

You think that petroleum is scarce?
Why do you think they call them Rare Earth minerals? Also once people realize that EVs suck for anything other than a small group of people they will pass by the wayside. They did a test on the new ford F-150 and towing a trailer brought it's range down to around 100 miles, or about how far you could go on four gallons of gas. |

Why don't they harness the energy power of climate change? If they can't beat it use it.
