I think it is generational. Some fraction of our population is changed as the older ones, I’m 76, are replaced by the younger ones. Old habits die and are replaced by the new.
As the Chinese and some Europeans show, the operational benefits of EVs are undeniable. Sure there is the moral attraction of saving our planet. But from my earliest Prius days, I was saving money with every hybrid mile driven.
Today driving cost me $0.01/mile in a car that drives itself better than I can. Eight cameras and dual computers that never get tired or sleepy, I have a personal “Johnny Cab” to take me around.
