Edit: you can ignore the political forgone conclusion part but interesting history to read... |
The political push to EV is captured perfectly in this excerpt from the piece:
"One hundred years later, North Americans still hang onto their stubborn beliefs that there is a
quick technological fix to every energy conundrum, says Greene."
Your statement about 20 years to autonomy will be faster than the full transition from horse to automobile is a bit misleading. It's not the same type of transition, and it doesn't account for the economic expansion the automobile brought.
