Nothing went wrong when I bought my first computer (Commodore 64). It worked great until I bought an Apple II, then I gave it to my neighbor.
Bought my 1968 VW bug for $800 and sold it 10 years later for $1000 (after adding 100k miles). I did add a quadraphonic 8 track tape player and replaced the backseat with a "cargo deck".
When I buy a computer today, I buy the best I can, knowing that tomorrow it will be "obsolete".
With pre-planning and strategizing, I don't have many "woulda, shoulda, coulda" feelings. I set my emotions and "feelings" aside, and visualize the process from start to finish, then turn the page 90 degrees and do it again, and repeat; many times the "first solution" uncovered is not the best. Rather I prefer to explore different perspectives, gathering multiple solutions--then select the best solution from the "many". Call me anal, call me silly, but it has worked for me and my clients for the past 40 years.
Huh? You have had no traumatic experience with your own big ticket nor hi-tech purchases and yet you surmise that EV buyers will have one?
Sorry, I don't see where you are coming from -- and I have done for you a psychiatric analysis for our understanding.
Methinks you may have a tendency to put words in one's mouth to support your narrative. I, like you, have opinions and unlike you, I thrive and enjoy learning from those that have different opinions, in fact I have learned more from those with different perspectives than those that share/mimic mine. I never suggested that EV buyers will have any technical problems. Nope, nadda a word.
And I don't see how the current infrastructure can sustain explosion demand for electricity. Maybe you can enlighten us on how 100 million EV will get enough juice to recharge batteries with a capacity of 50-100kWh, and who pays for it?
BTW, where did you earn your degree in psychiatry? Methinks the School of Cracker Jack.
Well, an explosion demand would be about 3/4 of a percent per year for 3 or 4 decades depending on what power company you listen. BC hydro says about 19 percent over 30 years. That’s for personal cars and trucks. Etc.
