    Can you imagine explaining this to people in a few decades?

    ‘People were opposed to electric cars back in the old days.’

    ‘Oh, that’s weird. Were petrol cars cheaper?’

    ‘Nope’.

    ‘Were they… cleaner?’

    ‘No, no. They made the air poisonous, actually.’

    ‘Even for the people driving them?’

    Especially for the people driving them!’

    ‘Oh, so petrol engines must’ve been more efficient.’

    ‘Ha ha, oh God, no.’

    ‘???’

      Unlikely. Why folks choose them is pretty easy. 2 mins charge time. And no battery damage from fast charging. Unless 2065 has super capacitor like charging and fials totally to teach the history of science.

      The question will be more. Why the hell did voters allow there govs not to invest the same in an electric support infrastructure. As they did in fossile fuels back in the 1950s
