Same as the 1970s all over again. Lots of people kicked and screamed.
Same when DEF was added to the diesels with many holding onto the old equipment.
The real change will be when it is no longer cost effective to sell gasoline & diesel. I plan to be around in 2050 to see it. Better chance of making it that far as the air gets cleaner.
I tend to agree the above^^^
The bigger battle will be about who takes over the money. Tesla really changed the game by producing a viable EV while the big boys were a sleep at the switch.
Battery technology and charging will come in time. But who will collect the money in the end. Will the fossil fuel guys convert gas stations to charging stations. Or will utility companies seize the moment and develop their own charging network.
Who collects the money is the bigger question. Technology will churn on and find solutions,however who collects the profits is yet to be determined
Back in the day when the model T was developed it not only replaced the horse, but it replaced covered wagons, the stage coach and all modes of tranportation. There were no paved roads or gas stations but, somehow we manage to put them in place nationwide.
We now have a new model T for Tesla, to think it won't change the way we travel and tranport cargo is naive. The only if is how long it will take.
