This is an example of "whatabout-ism." There's going to be a counter-example of someone for which EVs make little sense, but that doesn't mean that EVs make little sense for a large group of drivers or maybe even the majority of cases for which ICE vehicles are currently used. Can EVs 100% replace every single ICE vehicle in every single application? No - and they don't need to in order to be highly useful and provide aggregate benefits.
- BizarroLand 5y agoI think the most likely mid-tier outcome will be that in about 25 years or so, the grand majority of cars on the road will be EV, but that industrial companies will primarily use ICE vehicles, and for road trips and other such short term, long-distance, time essential driving events ICE vehicles will be typically available for rent.
- taylodl 5y agoI think that's a very realistic scenario. Thanks to the Russian war in the Ukraine we might even be looking at 15 years instead of 25 but that's just timing, I think you have the right outlook.
