I just don't see that happening in seven years. It feels very possible in seventeen years.
It's eight years, not seven (not a big deal....but every year counts...I'm talking about the end of 2025).
Think of it this way....and think about
YOURSELF:
Would you buy an ICE car (or ANY CAR) that....1) Costs 10%
MORE to purchase than an
EV car
2) Costs
two times more to maintain (no tuneups....no oil changes....no air filter changes....brakes last longer...etc)
3) Costs
TWICE as much to fill with gas....as it would to "fill" with electricity.
4) EV's by the end of 2025 will likely have a range of 250 - 600 miles.
Again....I know there are still people with "land lines"....but we're not talking about $50 phones here. The large manufacturers are NOT going to manufacture cars that only sell 2,000 cars a year...and are on the
DOWNWARD SLIDE.There will....of course...be
SMALL SPECIALTY car shops that likely sell in the US after 2025....but I honestly can't see LARGE COMPANIES selling them after that here in the US.
Here's something to look at and think about. It is two pictures of 5th Avenue in New York City. Same street....taken 13 years apart. In 1900 you could see
ONE CAR. Buy 1913 you couldn't see
ANY HORSES or Carriages.
Keep in mind I'm not saying there won't be any ICE cars on the road. I'm only saying there won't be any
NEW PASSENGER CAR SALES AFTER 2025.It will be an interesting ride.....and
FOR SURE it is a "future event" that I (or anyone else) doesn't know
FOR SURE what the outcome will be. But I think it will come much faster than most people think.
