Nah. The people pushing this agenda want B. It creates dependency. Dependency creates reelections.

I think today's situation is similar: a necessary target data has been set, and now we'll see how quickly the impediments to success can be removed. Mines taking well over a decade to be approved and producing and the very long time it takes to get even renewables connected to the grid look to me to be the main issues today. There's a lot of work still to be done to get all the pieces working in concert. The transition will take place; it's just a question of when.

Funny how you truncated my post to leave out the answer to your question; I already stated this in that post, "It is unrefutably clear that the Government is forcing the creation of the EV market. The most recent examples are the $5B Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and just this past week, the EPA's new proposed emissions regulations." Oh, I should have included the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. That's where Uncle Sam reupped on the $7,500 (max) EV tax rebate.

Our local track just banned EVs because they are not equipped to face an electric car fire. I heard it's so hard contain that most of the time firefighters will just let them burn up, it can be almost impossible to stop.

In Europe people are free to buy what they want, but the cost of running EVs is substantially lower there compared with ICEs, even when the higher purchase price is taken into account. The UK now has 70 BEV models to choose from, with higher demand and consequent wait times than ICEs in the same segment. Manufacturers can’t sell ICE only vehicles there from 2030. Consumers overall are demanding EVs there, although supply is more of an issue, it looks as though the tipping point has been reached: https://www.ey.com/en_uk/news/2022/0...ectric-vehicle https://www.driving.co.uk/news/new-c...guide-updated/ The US has always been behind Europe in adopting new automotive technology, 25% of vehicle sales in China are now BEVs, too. The European and Korean manufacturers are just not investing much in ICE development anymore, the new platforms are almost all focused on BEVs, so it is unlikely ICE market share is going anywhere other than down. |

In terms of battery life, there shouldn’t be any issues for a properly engineered system (as Porsche certainly seem to have), as the charge rates on a 200kW charger are about equivalent to the discharge rates of a 500kW motor that spends about 1/2 of its time at full power, 1/3 at a steady low power rate while cornering and 1/6 of the time at full regen (at say 300kW) under braking. Most Li Ion batteries can give over 1000 full charges when using a decent battery management system, equivalent to about 500,000km of general use or about 100,000km of hard track use, not dissimilar to ICE engine lifespan and likely similar cost. |

From the first link: “ Rising penalties on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are cited as the main driver to buy an EV in the UK (46%), followed by environmental concerns (45%).” |

Then there are the folks that live in older parts of large cities that don't have a garage and must rely on street parking. This issue has been popping up where people want/expect a dedicated parking spot in front of their home so they can install some form of charging. Municipalities who are pro-EV are denying these requests. There are significant hurtles to overcome if governments expect 100% adoption.
