The only way I will ever own an Electric Car is if someone gives me one.

And if that unlikely event ever happens it will be a short lived ownership

I will sell it ASAP.

It’s going to be done through attrition. It’s going to take decades. They will transition gas station with electric stations. Eventually it will be difficult to find gas. And then it will be complete. We all here will be dead. I’d say around 2050 it will be over. I’d be 81. We don’t have longevity in mt family.

It is very possible that at some point someone may give you an electric car. Without a decent battery after 8 or 10 years most of them have basically no market value because a replacement battery costs far more than what the car will be worth with the replacement battery installed.

Who knows what type of solutions will come up when there are large numbers of worthless electric cars on the market in a few years. In China there are junk yards filled with newish looking electric cars that are worth nothing and have been abandoned. The technologies have changed and retrofitting is financially unfeasible.
