The flip side is the economic reality of capitalism bieng built on growth, which is absolutly impossible for cars burning fuel. Electrics are cheaper to buy and maintain outside of the western markets, where the bulk of the worlds population lives, and much of the west, is going electric, realy realy quicky. The current fuel crunch is almost certainly causing the significant surplus of chinese electrics to bieng snapped up all over south east aisia ,africa, and south america.Just weeks ago there were sneering articles about overproduction, and unsold electric cars piling up in China, which now looks like precient planning.
