” Working on alternatives now is sensible.”
That’s not what is going on here. Artificially pushing people into crap EVs is stupid, not sensible. Creating windmills that end up in dumps is not sensible.
Nobody is forcing you to buy EV’s. By far most of the cars on America's roads are fossil fuel cars and it will remain so for a long time.
Vastly more EV'S are sold in China than in America and over 80% of cars sold in Norway for example, are EV'S. America is very very far from there.
