Disagree. Those combustion vehicles are sticking around longer. Getting 15+ years out of a combustion vehicle is a piece of cake. They also have to be replaced. There is not going to be any where enough production capacity to replace all of those for a while. The early EVs will have shorter lives for one reason or another so the used market for those will suck for at least a decade. There is also going to be grid issues which will either out right prevent electric vehicle adoption or slow it. Sure, you might get to the point where few new vehicles are combustion in say 10 years, but the used market will be quite a different story.
Don't get me wrong. I WANT an EV, but there isn't one out there I would buy. No way am I getting a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year EV. I'm not going to be a beta tester. No way am I getting an EV with just touch screens. No way am I getting an EV which is a pain to maintain or repair.
