A dominant feature of this years Frankfurt Motor Show seems to be Electric cars:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...-suvs-dominate-buzz-frankfurt-show/656719001/
We are seeing more companies announce electrification of whole lineups, countries announce long term plans to ban Combustion engine cars.
I don't think there can be any more doubt that Electric Vehicles are going to dominate personal transportation in the future, and that future is fast approaching.
I realize that in all these threads, we always get people saying they won't switch until impossible conditions are met (400 mile range recharging 100% in 5 minutes).
But I think affordable 200-300 mile EVs that represent the kind of cars people want to drive and similar/lower prices will be a mass tipping point.
Cars like small SUVs that are so popular. Example CRV/RAV4 type EVs that don't cost more than their gas counterparts will shift things dramatically. How far away is this with battery prices continuing their march downwards and more EV competition every day?
