[Tell It Right]

Only cuz of gubment mandates in the west. And the price coming down IMHO makes it more practical for the few who'd be interested in an EV in the free market.

Unfortunately, China and India will be the only nations with strong enough power grids to charge 'em.

Your post prompted me to search for a comparison of power generation by country.  I found one on Wiki.

And yes, China, USA, and India are at the top of the list.  The data surprises me. For instance, natural gas generation is double that of nuclear in the U.S. 

Also the country to country contrasts are interesting.
