“The hybrid/EV market is here to stay.”
Maybe. EV’s “work” for the moment because there is not wide adoption. If everyone had one, there would be fist fights at “fast” charging stations and plug-in stations at malls and workplaces
when the compromises/technical developments made to EV vehicles to increase range get adopted by a similar conventionally powered vehicle, you’ll end up with a good increment of increased performance for them, too.
That would make an EV have less cachet so it isn’t going to happen soon.
98% comes from coal, oil, nat gas or nuclear. How is environment being saved? Transferring exhaust gases from city to the nearby power plant is solving the problem?
All EV owners will get a sticker shock when batteries need replacing. I understand disposal of used batteries is a serious problem also.
