Mass adoption of electric vehicles. Battery prices are plummeting and the advantages of EV are so great that the moment they break that $20k barrier with zero subsidies (which should be within the next five years) the switch will be rapid. I suspect at least 1 in 3 personal vehicles in use in major metro areas will be an EV by 2025.
- elihu 9y agoI think battery price and availability are the main bottlenecks right now, so improvements on that front are what's got me excited.
- mcgrath_sh 9y agoI would absolutely own an electric vehicle if I was part of a muti-car family. But, until electric is as easily and quick to refill on as gas (long road trips, etc) I would not own it as my only vehicle.
- auxym 9y agoI'd rather have adoption of high density urban areas, public transit and walkable/cycle-able neighborhoods. Traffic jammed highways will still be traffic jammed highways with EVs.
