... in the USA. A lot of the world is moving forward rapidly with EVs.
And in the end that will help the USA transitions to EVs as well, since they are getting better and cheaper.
For the cost of just 5 eggs you will be able to afford an EV!
I'm expecting a relative near future where Americans are buying ever larger gas pickup trucks for 100K on credit while the rest of the world are buying small EVs for <20K, and switching to alternative forms of transport. And the Americans will swear up and down that their way is the way of "freedom".
So, the present, then?
The present for the US yeah, but much of the Western world have been following the US trend in many ways. I suspect (and hope) that it will turn back in the opposite direction as the world is flooded with cheap EVs and the public transportation work continues, as long as the rest of the world doesn't follow the US into the abyss.
