For the most part we’ll see a market where EVs, HEVs, and a few ICE without any electrification will be available for the remainder of my time on this planet. I plan to be around for a few more decades. Where the big deal will fall is choice in specific segments. Sports cars and muscle cars are already feeling the pinch.

2035 is a big year, but not as big as some make it out to be. ICE are not gonna just magically disappear on Jan. 1, 2035. There are some companies (GM, VW, Volvo, Polestar, maybe Mercedes Benz) that are targeting 2035 as they year they go full EV for passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles are a different story. Also, California, Massachusetts, Washington, and maybe New York will implement no new ICE sales in 2035. That’s not the whole country, so ICE will still be available in up to 47 other states. There is still time for more states to jump on the band wagon, but I expect most won’t.
