I still want both to exist. If the government is banning all ICEs, then I will have no choice other than settling for electric.

Can't wait for all the people who can't drive to own these so that there are less idiotic drives on the road, and the remaining folks can drive their own car in peace. I only hope that this makes owning a regular car harder, and more stringent licencing to keep retards off the road, and into automated cars.

Except most idiotic drivers on the road insist that they're good drivers. Especially the texting soccer moms in minivans/full size SUVs. They'll continue to endanger other people regardless

I don't think it'll happen in my lifetime, at least happen while I'm young enough to care about ICE cars. The sheer volume of ICE cars on the road will take decades to replace and that is once electric cars become the more attractive option of the two. To certain people, yes, electric cars are nice right now; but they're not what the majority of people are looking for. I suspect that shift won't happen until electric cars can be 'refueled' at a speed that is comparable to ICE cars. I also assert that my suspicion is further cemented by the fact we have certain manufacturers saying 'Fuck Electric" right now, e.g. Mazda. So there is that.

I won't deny it's inevitability, that's foolish; but as I stated, I don't think it's something I'll honestly be concerned with. Either way, I have a Focus ST right now for my hooning desires; so I'll probably run that into the ground and see where things stand then. Ultimately, I think we will languish in a very long period of time where both ICEs/Electric co-inhabit.

In 15 years, the sale of new ICE cars will be banned in most parts of the world.
You can't stop progress.

Shit changes fast now. If you're not 60, you'll see it happen. How many 80s and 90s cars are left on the road outside of poorfags' and enthusiasts' hands?

Its only inevitable because people choose to make it inevitable. The people choosing this are large corporations who won't ever stop overseas shipping or polluting and have exploited al gore and others to make pollution appear to be an individual problem, and politicians and bankers and information brokers who want everyone who isn't them to be crippled and powerless as possible, as well as living as long as possible to generate more money.

Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere.
