The future of personal transportation is indeed bright. The gas/electric debate should be market driven, not edict driven.

I had the pleasure of attending "EVTechExpo" in Novi MI just over a month ago. What I saw makes me think it will be technology driven ( yes if the price comes down ). I think we are "this close" to an electric drivetrain revolution via the batteries getting a ton of VC money that are anywhere from 1.5 to 5X the energy density. If charging times come down to 5 to 10 minutes ( Some claim they are their ) game set match, we are then in a fully blown disruptive technology change. It could happen in the next 3 to 10 years, and I think it will be an Awe-S**t moment, the electric car will be here and no one saw it coming, it will happen that fast. I am curious as to what it will do to the financial markets, ( No dedicated Mutual Fund or ETF for EV's yet, I looked ) as I think this will happen w/in PDJT's 2 terms. I believe he is being a hard azz to China on NAFTA as they are the major battery manufacturer in the world, can't let them become number one and disrupt OH, MI, PA, IN, etc where cars and parts are made, it is not MAGA.
