government has to step to push people into it in or stuff doesn't get done.So maybe EVs in the future make sense. For me, the real issue is that the mandates with them on both federal and state levels are before the EVs time. Wouldn't even need mandates if they just let the product sell itself.
It'd get done after solid state exists.
You get an imbalance then.
Either a bunch of cars that need grid infrastructure to give them 1000000 watts instantly
or a huge "green" grid with tons of power and nothing to use it.
By having them both progress together, eventually we could see a fully green grid and everything electric
The literal worst thing that could happen is some breakthrough in fusion and we're then using 1 cup of water to power a city per day and we have unlimited energy and everything still runs on gas.
