All electric vehicles?
I guess electrically powered vehicles are coming but seems to me they are presently only a rich person's toy with present technology. By that I mean, they're only good for around town and short trips ...

Sales--hmmm they still have a 3 to 6 month waiting list.
BEV's in the last year reached 2.9% of all new vehicle sold, and there are over 1 million in use in North America. (3 mil world wide). Tipping points are usually 5%.
Lots of power capacity is available from 10 pm to 6 am, as well as 10 am to 4 pm.

Tesla just laid off some employees because 2018 sales were not where they had hoped and projected they would be. The whole genesis of the electric vehicle industry is based on it bringing about a reduction in the use of fossil fuels and a cleaner environment as well as performance rivaling the internal combustion engine. It hasn't happened yet and I don't think electrical vehicles are going to replace a significant number of gas driving vehicles for maybe another 20 years. Along with developing electric vehicles that rival the performance and cost of gasoline vehicles is development of the infrastructure to support them. I'm thinking decades until a significant percentage (25%+) makes the transition to electric and then I question if in the long run if it will be a major savings to the environment.
