The move to fully electric cars will not be what some lunatic politicians want: A gigantic demolition of privately owned vehicles with a booming EV sale and resulting tax revenue. Instead it will only fill Chinese bank accounts. They already sell their EV's here, at more than double the price the same car costs in China.
I will not go into other, logical arguments, like the electric grid unable to charge all these EV's, the stupidity to burn gas and coal to produce electricity for EV's or the unsolved recycling problems for all he old cars and the new poisionous trash the EV's produce.
The new vision will be a mixed concept.
There will be new and old fuel burners, using long developed, produced and tested alternative fuels, which have been suppresed by politcs, serving their usual, most wealthy lobby.
For any fossil fuel today there is an alternative of better quality, made by alternative concepts. Gas to fuel, electricity to fuel and crop based products. Those are all compatible with a cleaner world, if matched in volume to the existing reality. They only steer the profit in the wrong peoples hands, endangering the long working systems of democracity's institutions.
The fossil fuel company's have the worst management of any industry sector. Their profits are not generated because of good products, but because of an oligopol, squeezing the last Cent from the energy dependent world. In a free, competition-oriented market, those "oil people" are completely lost. That is the cause they dropped out of alternative energy concepts, even having endless capital to invest.
The e-car will not be the great savior leading us into the promised land of electric mobility, but rather an alternative for those for whom it is a good fit.
It is one of the great questions of mankind, why decission making people always want the most expensive, environmentally harmful future for us, instead of a smooth transition into better ways.
For example, in Germany we had well working alternative Diesel and Otto fuels on gas stations. The government ended them by taxing them worse than fossil fuels. Any question for "why" was ignored.
