Won’t happen. EVs are another fad, as they were around the turn of the last century. The ICE will continue to dominate the roads and racetracks.

They are here to stay imo. As the batteries get better and better they meet more and more requirements and become more applicable to our lives.

It’s the same reason I’ve switched to all battery powered garden tools. With two chargers and a few batteries I can charge while working and work perpetually. The technology fits the application. I didn’t do it to be ‘green’. They’re far more reliable, especially vs. two-stroke tools like trimmers. Drop the battery in and go. I got tired of troubleshooting gas powered tools. The same batteries run in my snow blower, when it’s below zero I want that reliability.

Cars aren’t there for me YET. We usually have 2-3 cars, I can see having one for the bulk of local driving, it’s on the horizon for me....because it meets my application requirements.
