A lot of debate about electric going on here. I can imagine at the turn of century 120 years ago there were a lot of people sitting on their saddle or in thier buggy scoffing at these early gas powered machines. Not near as many buggies these days.

For the record electric vehicles have been around longer than ICE cars. I saw one from the 1870's, there were reasons why they never made it and ICE vehicles did. So it took 150 years to almost compete with a gas car. Maybe a few more years they will overtake gasoline cars.

Yah. The technology hasn’t changed at all since then. LOL. :)

The point being it took 150 years for the technology to change to make EV's almost comparable to gas vehicles.

Serious development has only been in the last two decades. And for the most part electric vehicles are superior to gas vehicles. Gas vehicles have a lot of catching up to do if they want a chance at staying relevant in the next twenty years. Frankly I doubt manufacturers will waste money trying to close the gap. Pickups are in a little different category although light duty half tons will probably be well accepted.

Jmho but I doubt in 15 years anyone is going to choose a stinky, gutless, noisy, high maintenance, expensive to fuel vehicle that you have to take to a gas station and fuel. At very minimum gas companies are going to have to offer a home delivery service for free to your house or workplace on a regular basis that takes none of your time. I can’t see them doing that.

Jmho.
