The market is helping.

Every car manufacturer is going into EV.

In Europe countries are doing this in different and even earlier timelines.

More like "marketing".

EV has been around since the 1880s, faded out late 1920s, came back in the 1950s, then 1960s, then 1970s, then 1980s, then 1990s, it has been resurrected many times over the yrs and failed.

The only way EV will succeed is to have it "legislated" into staying and that is what is being done under the guise of "saving the Earth" from all those harmful and yet common and required for life to exist carbon molecules.

But for EV to really work, you must have an electrical grid that is up to the task and that grid must not create more "pollution" than what it does today.

Our electrical grid is not there, our power plants are not there, adding more plants will result in more pollution, adding solar panels will create far more pollution from hazardous materials..

I don't think anyone really wants to "pollute" the Earth so if it sounds like it will save the Earth, people will be on board, but it is the real information on how much pollution is created in making everything from solar panels, to wind gens to the batteries required that is being omitted, looked over or skipped. Recycling materials out of Lithium batteries is not cost effective and very expensive at this time so worn out EV Lithium batteries are going to have to be buried in landfills or stored in warehouses in the future.
