Apparently, every manufacturer has decided to go electric at once

Excuse me, General, sir, but may I point out that several U.S. States and most of the European Union decided to adopt targets dates (most frequently 2035) to phase out ICE vehicles first, then every manufacturer decided to go electric.

“Excuse me, General, sir, but may I point out that several U.S. States and most of the European Union decided to adopt targets dates (most frequently 2035) to phase out ICE vehicles first, then every manufacturer decided to go electric.”

Germany had phased out its coal power plants and nuclear reactors. That was never going to work either as they’d become dependent on coal power produced in other countries. Periodically, governments do stupid things. Germany has brought their coal plants back online and are extending the nuclear plants. Fortunately, the market corrects governments. By 2035 I expect fewer electric vehicles, not more. They simply are not practical.

Ironically those same states are also restricting their ability to produce the necessary electrical power to actually make the transition.

California was setting the ridiculous dates at the same time they were telling EV owners not to charge their cars and trying to phase out a nuke plant.

Basing your future in that clown world is not a good idea.
