Hard to tell. The transition may be painful, but new discoveries may in the end make personal transportation more pleasant, safe, economical, and free. We’ve ridden on axles and rubber tires for over 100 years. Mass public transit would do itself a favor if it offered some well-tailored privacy.

The naïveté is astounding.

For those of us who live rural, this is deliberate murder against us.

Even if we grant that electric cars are better in many ways, it makes no sense to commit to something at a particular date when the technology to make it more affordable without subsidies and more practical for rural people and those who have long drives for business or pleasure does not yet really exist.

When most high wattage incandescent bulbs were legislated out of existence, I was 100% against it,because LEDs were not available as screw-ins yet and they were still quite pricey, and CFLs were garbage. If we refrained, the LEDs would have taken over when they were ready for deployment, and we would have skipped the CFL phase altogether.

EVs still have to improve on the storage end, including the possibility of onboard generation to be many people's only car. They aren't there yet.

It doesn’t to be if you let the technology mature first or transition with Hybrids. The left thinks they can mandate technology advancements. This will be a disaster.

In my city ‘public transportation’ has figured out ‘privacy’...

All bus windows are covered so the public can’t see our BIG BUSES are driving around with 2 or 3 passengers and seldom more. It’s a stupid system ‘elites’ created so they could ‘feel good about themselves’... Total waste of money.
