There is a vintage electric car in the Perry Mason episode “the case of the borrowed baby”.

According to tradition, Henry Ford had a conversation with Thomas Edison about if it'd be more feasible to mass produce and sell gas cars or electric cars. Edison convinced Ford that it'd be a while before every American had power at their homes to charge EV's. Thus, gas cars could be used by every American who could afford a car -- even people who lived in remote areas. Assuming, of course, the free market could produce a supply of gasoline stations. Which eventually happened.

Will the gubment get out of the way of EV's and charging and let the free market decide on charging options? Keep in mind that for most EV charging, charging stations are needed only for road trips and not for local charging. IMHO, there's some money to be made by people who already own restaurants or convenience stores. But those entrepreneurs might be afraid of the huge up front costs to set up a few chargers if they keep hearing the Dims say that the gubment will put up competing chargers everywhere. It's hard to compete with crony capitalism.

First Golden Age?

It wouldn't be called the first one because we have yet to have a second one.

And if we keep on regressing, soon we’ll see Stanley Steamers.

From the Wiki people: “Steam cars outnumbered other forms of propulsion among very early cars. In the U.S. in 1902, 485 of 909 new car registrations were steamers.”

For the first time today, I saw a Tesla being driven aggressively. Out in the Hamptons. Seemed weird, they usually always just purr along.

I wonder if this fad will last longer?

I see the chicoms now have glorified golf carts for $10K. Sure to be a hit around town.
