Near future? Maybe less than you would think, EVs are still financially unreachable and utterly impractical for most of the world. For me they are easily reachable but I just don't find the appeal, the limitations, range anxiety, everything proprietary and not fixable in normal garages, thats not how I run my cars in relatively low cost manner.
Buying car shouldn't be emotional decision but a rational one, its not a small investment, for many second biggest in their lives after housing.
Far future, certainly ICE cars will be mostly dead, what will come we shall see.
- fragmede 2y agoInteresting POV! Because batteries plus a motor is so easy, electric bicycles and similar are the vehicle to look at, not cars. I know that in the Philippines, EV carts are slowly taking over on certain islands in places where a car doesn't make any financial sense.
- bmicraft 2y agoHaving a lot of slow chargers (ac, very cheap to build) around would solve like 90% of the reason most people (not you) give for not being able to switch: Living in an apartment without chargers. I'm certain we can at least agree that leaving out chargers has at least some measurable impact on the transition.
