Some ppl are so adverse to change it's hilarious, and just cuz the tech isn't there yet doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Funnily enough these are probably the same ppl who make manufacturers foolishly think it's a good idea to pipe fake exhaust noises into the cabin just to appease these zealots.
Bring back those steam-powered vehicles I say LOL. /s

I am not a renowned fence sitter (!) but feel EV's will top out at about 30% market share, I see charging as the main obstacle. I can then see Hybrid taking another 30 to 35% and then the ICE the rest.
No one will hit their targets in 2030 or whatever year, too many people need good, cheap reliable cars (think Covi/corolla/elantra) and EV's are simply not going to be at that price point in 8 years. |

The truth hurts and there are more rabid extremists one way vs the other, I don't see ppl wrecking reg cars vs doing lots of immature stuff against EVs. Funny thing is that I couldn't care less about EVs but think it's hilarious some ppl really go hard at them, my 'friend'. Can't stop progress. Besides, a different engine is just a medium, I tend to look at the car as a whole. Ppl get hung up crazily on things.

You should try telling that to the people racing EVs.

I feel once you hit 30pc or whatever you are mainstream but I cannot see how, in developed countries, EV's can replace the $20k out the door reliable work horses. Now, i say that assuming gas prices don't explode, if gas is 50% more than it is today then all bets are off.
EV's make an excellent second car or commuter car, i feel we will find a way to produce the needed energy. My biggest question mark is charging, we will need an unimaginable amount of public chargers to make this work, much, much more than gas stations as the process is longer. Who is paying for that? Home charging is not possible for a monumental amount of people. No one seems to have thought of this on the EV evangelical side. |

His crap about the Bronco is amusing. I'd love to see him actually try to work in the automotive manufacturing sector and throw in COVID to boot. He'd get his ass handed to him. |

I am not saying no one is working on it, i am saying we are million miles from being ready for mass adoption and 8 years is nowhere near enough time. Hence my prediction for a 1/3rd market split between the three options.

It is like this guy thinks everyone buys a car and drives it for 100K+ miles. Most everyone I know just doesn't do that anymore. 2-3years and on to the next car, most likely leasing. For those that do drive their cars into the ground or buy used higher mileage vehicles, by all means wait until battery tech is more advanced.

On third year with the i3 and it’s been the most reliable BMW I’ve ever had, not a single issue. No “fooling” necessary…
