    WOW, that’s truly amazing. That rate keeps up for long enough, they’ll replace almost everything for electric.

        You don’t even need to subsidies electric. You just need to tax all carbon and pollution at the actual cost to society.

        The only reason petrol is preferred elsewhere is due to the lack of infrastructure. You can get petrol/gas everywhere. Charging your car is less reliable and needs effort to find. While it’s not really a problem for most people’s driving habits day to day, it’s a perceived problem.

        As energy prices continue to rise and solar continues to drop, it will become more and more economical to have electric car and solar charging.

      We’ve been at it for decades and keep going, even if the benefits are being cut back, as the price of petrol keeps rising through taxes.
