I am far from shocked (no pun intended). I get it. I have two performance cars in my garage and have no issues with adding to that if the right deal comes along. I try to keep my involvement in this and similar threads to separating truth from fiction from panic. I am not shy in saying I’m an expert on the topic. My day job is consulting with OEMs, suppliers, and government agencies on all things automotive. This just happens to be what’s mega-hot right now, so I’m in daily conversations on this stuff, including the occasional speaking engagement at various conferences. I halfway know what I’m talking about.

My bottom line is…

1. It’s going to happen so best to understand what is happening when.
2. It’s not going to happen overnight. Today’s grid is not 2035’s grid. Today’s charger availability is not 2035’s charger availability.
3. This is more of an automaker driven change than it is a government mandated change. The government is doing things to take advantage of the shift by forcing manufacture (jobs) to be in the US and supporting the buildout of the infrastructure, just like it did with the buildout of the Interstate system in the ‘50s.
