I believe we could reach a tipping point soon. The worst time to own an electric car was when almost none were sold, with zero infrastructure.
But soon electric infrastructure will be mainstream.
While time is counting against combustion cars.
In the UK from 2030 onwards all new cars must be hybrid or fully electric. And the sale of new hybrids is to be outlawed from 2035.
- mikestew 6y agoThe worst time to own an electric car was when almost none were sold, with zero infrastructure. Yeah, but we knew that when we bought a 2011 Leaf. But no one was going to build the infrastructure if no one bought electric cars, so... (And, fact is, we rarely charge it away from home, so charging infrastructure has been a thing a half dozen times in ten years.) Ten years later, we look forward to the vast improvements in EVs when we eventually replace it.
