don’t put all your eggs in any EV power grid dependant basket.
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to allude to. I later called myself willfully ignorant on the subject.. because frankly I don't care one way or another if ICE or EV or something else prevails. I'm sure I'll find something to like about whatever is available for me drive.

But if you're saying ICE vehicles won't go away because of all the other things that depend on fossil fuels, I'd say that's short sighted. Mainly because EV talk seems to be more about ICE emissions and reducing that footprint rather than reliance on fossil fuels.. even if it were about fossil fuels, I'd have to imagine a world where even 50% of transportation is EV is less dependent on fossil fuels than we are now
