It just seems like EV station are ever growing at a substantial rate as are EV's in all models including the new electric truck Rivian built in Detroit. From the super-car market to even the Camaro lots of money is being spent in this direction. "General Motors plans to go 100 percent electric, the Detroit automaker announced Monday." not to mention "Chevrolet Camaro Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser Reassigned to GM’s Electric Vehicle Group". I doubt the corporations are spending the large sums without making sure there is a market in place. Not that corporation influence markets in any way. lol
Canada has recently implemented a carbon tax on gasoline at the pump. I even remember back when purchasing my 2006 GTO new(still have) a gas guzzler tax was on the invoice for $1400 I think it was. Just because it was built in Australia and considered an import. Perhaps taxes on gasoline engines and petroleum products reach levels only the wealthiest can afford, if at all who knows? Maybe governments step in making driving petroleum engines illegal at some point. "If France’s Environment Minister has his way, the country could join a small but growing list of countries that plan to ban vehicles running on gasoline, diesel or other fossil fuels." Maybe they outlaw refineries all together.
Not to mention most are certainly aware that oil is not in endless supply and prices could achieve levels that are no longer affordable if available to the general population at all.
It seems other areas of the world are absolutely recognizing the future of vehicles to be electric. Especially when companies like Shell and others are putting charging stations in place. Some stations can charge your vehicle 80% in around 15 minutes. I've spent more time standing in line at a C-Store. Surely this will continue to improve like the cell phone someday you will just drive onto the charging pad in your garage. Many articles can be found about charging stations containing the below-
"Tesla’s Supercharger network, which currently offers over 3,200 chargers at more than 400 stations across Europe."
"Shell is to install the chargers at 80 of its fuel stations across Europe by 2020"
"Ionity plans 400 electric car charging stations in Europe by end-2020"
Etc., Etc., Etc..
I agree that perhaps we won't see the total replacement in my life time
, but do think we are living in a historical time for the transition of transportation. If we choose to admit or deny it is occurring I think we are witnessing the death of gas powered vehicles!
Hope not as I've got a few cars put up that referred to as part of my retirement plan.
I suppose my point would be we live in a world where we feel in control. However more and more everyday the large corporations dictate what we do and what is available. IMHO
In the mean time
